Overview

I developed a computer vision system for construction sites to automatically track trucks and heavy machinery. The goal was to replace manual counting and observation with accurate, automated monitoring.

The challenge

On the construction site, a person was responsible for:
  • Counting inbound and outbound trucks
  • Estimating whether trucks were fully or partially loaded
  • Recording working time and rest time
  • Tracking how much material (sand) was transported
This manual process was slow and could lead to mistakes. There was no precise, real-time data about machine activity or transported volume.
The company needed a more reliable and automated solution.

My solution

I built a machine vision system that monitors the site using video cameras.
The system detects and tracks:
  • Trucks
  • Excavators
  • Bulldozers
Each vehicle receives a stable ID, so it can be tracked during the entire time on site. The system measures:
  • Arrival time
  • Departure time
  • Active working time
  • Idle time
By analyzing movement and loading activity, the system determines if a truck is fully or partially loaded. It also estimates the amount of material transported from the excavation area.
The system can recognize additional information such as:
  • License plate number
  • Vehicle brand
  • Company
All data is stored and organized automatically. The system generates structured reports showing:
  • Inbound and outbound truck counts
  • Total working and rest time
  • Estimated transported volume
  • Activity per company

The result

The company received a fully automated monitoring system that:
  • Replaces manual counting
  • Provides accurate working-time tracking
  • Improves transparency between contractors
  • Reduces human error
  • Gives clear operational reports
Managers can now see real activity data without constant on-site supervision.
