SMART VEHICLE BASED ON FLASH STORAGE DEVICE OVER IoT

In this paper presents a method to build an IoT based automated surveillance system to capture the registration number of vehicles and to alert nearest traffic police in case of any default. Number plates are used for unique identification of vehicles. The automated surveillance system uses image processing technique to identify vehicles by their number plates. When a vehicle has stopped at a signal, the system extracts the registration number from the number plate. The system checks for any pending cases or unpaid fines or if it is a stolen car and alerts the nearest patrol party by searching the RTO database. It also detects if a person is using a fake number plate or invalid registration[1]. The extracted plate number is used to search through the RTO database to get detailed information about the vehicle near the signal. In case of any abnormality detected with the vehicle, the nearest police station is alerted. The IoT based smart signal can successfully extract the registration number from the vehicle and this compares the registration number with the database and alerts the nearest police patrol in case of a default. The system works for the standard format of the number plate.
