This study presents a truck classification method using panoramic side-view images to meet the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s 12-category standard (types 4–12). The system captures a vehicle’s full side profile via a panoramic imaging device, ensuring complete wheel visibility. A YOLOv12-based deep learning model detects wheels, and image processing extracts their center coordinates. Pixel distances between adjacent wheels are calculated and normalized to determine axle spacing patterns, which, together with wheel count, are applied to a rule-based classifier. Tests on 1,200 real-world panoramic truck images (1,000 for training, 200 for testing) achieved a mean average precision of 96.1% for wheel detection and 90.5% overall classification accuracy. The method offers explainable classification through measurable structural features, supporting applications in smart tolling, road usage billing, overloading enforcement, and autonomous vehicle perception.
