YOLOv8 and EasyOCR-based real-time vehicle and license plate recognition system with Supabase database management. Traffic data (ADT & ESAL) collected from Nsukka–Enugu Road is used to inform road pavement thickness design. Built with Python, Google Colab, and a mobile app dashboard. # VNPR-Pavement: Integrated Vehicle & Number Plate Recognition for Road Pavement Design > A deep learning system using **YOLOv8** and **EasyOCR** for real-time vehicle and license plate detection, backed by **Supabase** cloud database management — with traffic data (ADT & ESAL) used directly to inform **road pavement thickness design**.
