Abstract : The increasing number of vehicles on the road has led to a rise in traffic congestion, parking challenges, and security concerns. Manual number plate detection and database updation methods are time-consuming, prone to errors, and often incomplete. Moreover, the lack of real-time updates in the database hinders efficient traffic management, law enforcement, and vehicle tracking. The existing systems for number plate detection rely on manual entry or outdated technologies, resulting in low accuracy rates and limited scalability. Furthermore, these systems do not provide real-time updates, making it challenging for authorities to track and manage vehicles effectively. There is a need for an automated, IoT-based system that can accurately detect number plates, update databases in real-time, and provide valuable insights for traffic management and law enforcement. The proposed project aims to design and develop an Automatic Number Plate Detection and Database Updation System using IoT. The system will utilize computer vision and machine learning algorithms to accurately detect number plates, and IoT protocols to update the database in real-time. The system will also provide a user-friendly interface for authorities to access and manage vehicle data, enabling efficient traffic management, law enforcement, and vehicle tracking.
