Automated Vehicle and Container Identification

SAIC’s advanced OCR technology reads the ID number of each container, enabling ICIS to automatically associate VACIS and RPM scanning data with specific containers. SAIC OCR systems at terminals around the world currently identify millions of containers and vehicles annually. One such system recently deployed at the American President Lines terminal at the Port of Los Angeles, shown in Figure 5, automates the access control of trucks bringing cargo containers to the terminal. Video cameras scan the cargo container from several directions to image the container identification number which is automatically “read” using OCR software. Chassis identification numbers and the truck license plate are similarly imaged and recorded.
