Overspeeding incidents within the chemical plant posed significant safety risks near hazardous material storage zones and high-traffic production areas. Without automated monitoring, violations went undetected until after accidents occurred - and with no reporting mechanism, drivers and their vendors faced no accountability, giving them no reason to change behaviour.
The facility had no reliable way to identify which vehicle was speeding, when, and who was responsible. Manual observation was inconsistent across shifts and provided no evidence trail for vendor follow-up or corrective action.
Problem Statement
THE CHALLENGE
Challenges
-
Undetected overspeeding
10-15 monthly speed violations within facility premises with no automated detection in place.
-
No vendor accountability loop
When overspeeding occurred, there was no mechanism to report the violation to the driver or their vendor. Incidents were logged internally at best - but never closed with corrective action on the responsible party.
-
Non-uniform number plates
Variations in plate size, design, font, and regional formats complicated accurate vehicle identification.
-
Poor plate visibility
Dirty, faded, or damaged plates made accurate identification difficult for gate personnel across shifts.
Solution
THE SOLUTION
We deployed a camera-based vehicle speed monitoring system using the facility's existing CCTV infrastructure. The system detects vehicle speed across facility premises in real time and automatically identifies the vehicle via number plate recognition. When a violation is detected, an alert is sent not just to internal security - but directly to the driver's corresponding vendor, creating a full accountability loop that drives behavioural change over time.
Speed calculation operates at 95% accuracy using camera-based frame analysis without additional sensors - sufficient for reliable violation detection and vendor reporting at facility speeds.
Flow: Vehicle enters -> Speed monitored across premises -> Violation detected -> Number plate identified via OCR -> Alert sent to security and vendor -> Vendor acknowledgment logged on dashboard
-
Camera-based speed detection monitors vehicle movement across premises and flags violations in real time at 95% accuracy.
-
OCR identifies the vehicle number plate at point of violation - linking the incident to a specific vehicle and vendor.
-
Instant alerts sent to internal security and directly to the responsible vendor on every detected violation.
-
Vendor reporting log maintained on dashboard - every violation, alert sent, and vendor response tracked for compliance follow-up.
