Detection of Dangerous Goods Placards for Road and Tunnel Safety
The transportation of dangerous goods is strictly regulated. One regulation is that dangerous goods transports need explicit marking with plates and labels according to the materials transported. Software for detection of orange-colored rectangular plates with hazard identification and UN number is similar to ANPR, whereas the identification of diamond shaped placards is a rather new application requiring some different approaches. In this study the authors evaluate the application of software for detecting diamond shaped dangerous goods placards and list opportunities, experiences and problems.
