Resumo


Automatic characterization of truck axle configurations from road monitoring images can support intelligent transportation systems and fiscal enforcement by identifying inconsistencies between vehicle characteristics and declared freight information. This paper presents a computer-vision-based tool that combines YOLO-based tire detection with a geometric heuristic to automatically infer axle configurations (single, tandem, and tridem) from real-world traffic images. The tire detector was trained and evaluated on 1,520 images collected by a Brazilian public road monitoring system under challenging conditions, including variations in illumination, perspective, and partial occlusions. The complete tool was assessed on 483 monitored vehicle images, achieving an overall F1-score of 86.98% for axle configuration identification. Additionally, the tool was applied to the analysis of these images, demonstrating its ability to automatically characterize axle configurations and support statistical analyses for intelligent monitoring and tax auditing. The results indicate the potential of the proposed tool for integration into operational road monitoring systems, providing an effective mechanism for vehicle characterization and automated inspection support.
