The initiative Recognition of Authorized Vehicles for Entry into Food Security Warehouses is a pilot project implemented by the Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology in the Sultanate of Oman.

The project aims to enhance the security and safety of food warehouses under the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Water Resources by applying artificial intelligence technologies to monitor vehicle entry.

Initiative Objectives:

• Enhancing security control: Ensuring that only authorized vehicles enter, reducing security and logistical risks.
• Improving operational efficiency: Speeding up entry and exit procedures and reducing congestion within warehouses.
• Promoting food safety: By accurately controlling vehicle movement, the safety and quality of food stock is ensured.

Scope of Implementation:

The project is currently implemented in food warehouses under the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Water Resources and is expected to expand to other institutions requiring regulated vehicle entry.

Technologies Used:

The project relies on artificial intelligence technologies, such as license plate recognition, linked to a database of authorized vehicles, allowing accurate and effective monitoring of vehicle movement within warehouses.

This initiative is part of Oman's strategy to enhance food security through innovative technological solutions to improve warehouse management and ensure the safety of food stock.
