Project Background

Tengchong Mining Site in Yunnan is located in mountain‑forest area. A large number of trucks transport ore and muck out of the mine. The site features temporary earth‑rock roads with rainy and humid weather, which brings constraints to construction. Traditional manual trip‑recording requires high on‑site staffing, suffers from missed records and unregulated vehicles, especially at night and in rainy days. The mine needs an automatic vehicle counting system adapted to mountain mining conditions.

Project Pain Points

1. Complex mountain‑forest environment: rainy & humid climate, temporary dirt roads and limited construction conditions.
2. Drawbacks of manual counting: low efficiency, frequent omissions and risks of unregulated manual records.
3. No on‑site public display: drivers cannot get real‑time counting feedback, causing reconciliation disputes.
4. Night & rainy‑shift operation: mine runs round‑the‑clock; manual registration is difficult under poor weather.
5. Lack of traceable evidence: no snapshot archives for dispute investigation.

Solution

Chongqing Jinyun Machinery deployed AI Automatic Vehicle Counting Robot for Tengchong Mining. Pole‑mount integrated hardware is installed at mine gate, equipped with high‑brightness outdoor LED display. Trucks pass at normal speed without stop, to complete license‑plate recognition and trip statistics automatically.

Hardware Advantages
‑ Industrial‑grade outdoor hardware, stable for humid‑rainy mountain mines with large temperature difference, supporting 7×24‑hour continuous operation.
‑ Fast pole‑mount installation with minimal civil work, suitable for temporary mine roads, no interruption to mining & transportation.
‑ High‑brightness LED screen, visible under strong sunlight, showing license plate & real‑time trip number for drivers.
‑ Integrated camera & supplementary lighting unit to guarantee recognition performance at night and on rainy days.

Core Software Functions

1. License‑plate recognition & auto counting: AI identifies plates and accumulates trip numbers for each truck.
2. Real‑time LED on‑site display: Show plate number and sequence number immediately after vehicle passing for transparent supervision.
3. Snapshot archiving: Auto‑capture photos bound with plate, timestamp and trip number, stored in cloud for traceability.
4. Cloud management platform: Remote traffic monitoring on PC & mobile, auto‑generated transport reports with export function.
5. Vehicle whitelist & blacklist for access control management.

On‑site Application Effect

When transport trucks pass the detection point, license plate recognition and trip counting are triggered automatically, meanwhile LED screen displays real‑time information for drivers.
On‑site manual attendance registration is completely replaced. It solves the difficulty of statistics during rainy nights in mountain mines. Public on‑site display greatly reduces reconciliation conflicts. All records and snapshots are stored in cloud to avoid irregular manual records.
The system runs steadily under humid mountain‑forest conditions and realizes digital management for ore outward transportation.

Customer Benefits

1. Cost saving: Eliminate on‑site manual registration labor.
2. Transparent counting: Real‑time LED display reduces business disputes.
3. All‑weather adaptability: Works reliably for night‑shift and rainy‑day mine production.
4. Full traceability: Snapshot archives support record review.
5. Remote supervision: Managers obtain mine transport data remotely for production scheduling.
