A framework for cloned vehicle detection

摘要

Rampant cloned vehicle offenses have caused great damage to transportation management as well as public safety and even the world economy.It necessitates an efficient detection mechanism to identify the vehicles with fake license plates accurately,and further explore the motives through discerning the behaviors of cloned vehicles.The ubiquitous inspection spots that deployed in the city have been collecting moving information of passing vehicles,which opens up a new opportunity for cloned vehicle detection.Existing detection methods cannot detect the cloned vehicle effectively due to that they use the fixed speed threshold.In this paper,we propose a two-phase framework,called CVDF,to detect cloned vehicles and discriminate behavior patterns of vehicles that use the same plate number.In the detection phase,cloned vehicles are identified based on speed thresholds extracted from historical trajectory and behavior abnormality analysis within the local neighborhood.In the behavior analysis phase,consider the traces of vehicles that uses the same license plate will be mixed together,we aim to differentiate the trajectories through matching degree-based clustering and then extract frequent temporal behavior patterns.The experimental results on the real-world data show that CVDF framework has high detection precision and could reveal cloned vehicles’behavior effectively.Our proposal provides a scientific basis for traffic management authority to solve the crime of cloned vehicle.
