In a renowned steel factory in India, the efficient management of incoming and outgoing vehicles is crucial for maintaining operational effectiveness, ensuring security, and complying with safety regulations. The factory has been facing challenges in monitoring and tracking the influx of trucks carrying coal and other raw materials. The previous process was to maintain a bunch of paper sheets to manually keep track of those vehicles along with their license plate numbers and submit a report to the authority. To address this issue, the management decided to implement a comprehensive Vehicle Detection, Tracking, and Counting (VDTC) system. The primary objective of this case study is to provide an overview of how we implement the VDTC system and its impact on the factory's operations.

Objectives

The key objectives of implementing the VDTC system in the steel factory are as follows

• Accurately detect and classify different types of vehicles, including trucks, entering and exiting the factory premises.
• Capture license plate numbers of all vehicles passing through the designated checkpoints.
• Count the number of vehicles both incoming and outgoing.
• Monitor the movement of vehicles within the factory and track their entry and exit times.
• Generate comprehensive reports that include the number plates and images of trucks entering and exiting the factory
