Cloud based Detection and Real-Time Communication of Number Coding Violators through Character Recognition and Image Processing

The Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program was implemented to reduce the number of cars in a particular area as to lessen traffic congestions by restricting cars depending on the day with the corresponding last digit of the vehicle's plate number. The purpose of this study is to reinforce and automate the detection of violators of the vehicular volume reduction using a cloud based detection and real-time communication of number coding violators through character recognition and image processing. With the use of a Raspberry Pi, a web camera, and a monitor, the research aims to create a cost-effective number coding violation detector that can notify the violator as well as keep the logs in a database storage.
