Abstract: The following paper proposes an advanced vehicle and driver recognition system to enhance security at vehicular entry-exit points in response to the growing needs of more efficient and secure access control systems at these checkpoints. The proposed system will integrate license plate recognition and facial recognition technologies using state of-the-art machine-learning models from Ultralytics: YOLOv8 and EasyOCR, respectively. It works in three stages: license plate detection, character alpha-numeric identification, and then driver identity with facial recognition. Hence, the two-tier authentication process based on license plate detection and facial identification ensures further prevention from unauthorized entry. Preliminary evaluation of the system also produced very high values for precision, recall, and the mean average precision, indicating that the VDR system offers substantial advances in effectiveness and security when compared to conventional methodologies for access control.
