Excavation Truck Analysis and Tracking System: today's situation compared with the EntropyWork solution
Today
Weighbridge logs can be unreliable
Manual records can be wrong or manipulated.
With EntropyWork
Every passage recorded automatically
Plate, time and photo; instant alert for uncovered loads.
The situation today
Municipalities, excavation site operators and environmental agencies today mostly track excavation trucks through manual recording by on-site personnel, paper waybills, document checks and, from time to time, visual checks by an inspection team. What falls short:
- Vehicles that dump illegally are not noticed or cannot be proven afterwards.
- Transport without a tarp (dust and spillage) cannot be inspected.
- Manually kept records may be wrong, incomplete or manipulated.
- It cannot be measured which truck passed when, and whether it was full or empty.
How it works, in four steps
Pick a step to follow the data from the field to the center.
Step 01
Site cameras
At entrance and exit
Step 02
Site device
Plate, tarp, full/empty
Step 03
Central panel
Every passage recorded
Step 04
Alerts and reports
Daily and weekly
Operating principle
- Cameras are positioned at the entrance and exit of the site or at designated route points.
- The system detects the excavation truck by classifying the vehicles in the image.
- The license plate of the detected truck is read and transferred to the system.
- Whether the bed is covered with a tarp and whether it is full or empty is determined by image analysis.
Cameras already installed on the site (existing IP/ONVIF/RTSP cameras) are integrated. New cameras are added at points without cameras; thus the system can both use the existing infrastructure and be extended with new cameras.

Technical specifications
Technical specifications
| Feature | Value / Status |
|---|---|
| Processing | On the site edge device |
| Hardware | Jetson series |
| Camera compatibility | Existing ONVIF/RTSP IP cameras |
| Scaling | Hardware is upgraded for more cameras; the software stays the same |
| Accuracy | Not measured (separate measurements are needed for truck detection, plate reading, tarp, and full/empty) |
System components
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Cameras | At the entrance and exit of the site or at route points; existing or new. |
| Site edge device | Jetson series; processes the video on site and sends event data to the center. |
| Central software and panel | Presents passage records, violations and reports. |
| API | Data transfer to other systems. |
Integration
Integration
Connects to existing camera and NVR infrastructures (ONVIF/RTSP). It can be integrated with excavation tracking systems and municipal software via API.
Outputs and reporting
- Truck passage record: plate, time, photo
- Covered/uncovered and full/empty information
- Alerts for violations such as uncovered transport; on the panel, and by SMS or email if desired
- Daily and weekly passage reports, violation list
- Data transfer to other systems via API
Installation and support
Installation
Installation time depends on the site size and the number of cameras. It takes close to half a day on a site where an existing camera is used, and about 1 day on a site where new cameras are installed.
Installation time varies by product and site.
Support, maintenance and warranty
- Remote update is supported.
- Maintenance is performed in case of failure or annually.
- The warranty period is 2 years.
Data and security
- Raw video is not recorded continuously.
- Plate and event data (plate, time, photo) is sent to the center.
- Retention period and location are determined according to the customer institution's policy.
Areas of use
- Municipalities
- Excavation site operators
- Environmental agencies
