Security in mining is a primary concern, which adversely affects the production cost.An efficiently detected and deterred theft can maximize the profitability of any mining organization.Many illegal transportation cases were registered in spite of provisions imposed by central and state governments under Section 23 (c) of MMDR Act 1957.This paper proposes the use of an automated checkpoint gate based on license plate recognition and biometric fingerprint system for vehicle and driver authentication vehicle tracking.Vehicle license number plate is captured using a digital camera, and the characters of the number plate are segmented using Gabor filter.A track-sector matrix is generated by considering the number of pixels in each region and was matched with existing template to identify the character.The fingerprint scans the finger and matches with the template created at the time of fingerprint registration at the machine.The checkpoint gate is closed or opened based on the output provided by the microcontroller.
