Im performing a videographic survey in an expressway to estimate the emission of line source. But to determine emission load of a vehicle, I need a data on vintage of that vehicle. Any possible way to estimate vintage of vehicle from the videographic survey?
Vintage of vehicle: year of manufacturing.
Ms. Drashti
Thanks for the suggestions.
Yes as you said I can collect data from RTO. But the fact is the data may be cumulative for that region. How do I relate them with my expressway data collected through videographic survey for 1 day?
Interesting question. I am not clear as to what you mean by "to determine emission load of a vehicle".
If your requirement is to only get to know the year of manufacturing of a car you spotted on the expressway, probably you can follow the way traffic rules offenders are being spotted on such roads.
There are some sections where the traffic rule violation is detected (like over speeding), and the image of the vehicle is captured. The Registration Number is then identified by image processing, and the contact details of the owner are fetched from the repository of RTO. The owner gets a notice to pay up the fine.
You can run a query to get the chassis number of the vehicle, from the registration number. Once you know the chassis number, getting to know the registration number is easy.
There are challenges involved -
1. Processing the registration number of commercial vehicles is a challenge due to the various things that cover the license plate. Best thing is to capture the front of the vehicle to process the registration number.
2. Getting the access to repository is very difficult even for research and development.
Hi Gopal
Thanks for your suggestions.
I mean, the vintage data of a vehicle to estimate rate of emission.
But I havn't found any possible-ways to determine directly from the video-graphic survey.
