A method including capturing an image of a license plate of a vehicle, together with other sensors that capture (and associate) one or more tire characteristics of a tire mounted to the vehicle. The method includes building high volume autonomous vehicle profiles for use at high traffic locations, and systems utilize machine-learning models for reading tire treads without requiring specialized diagnostic equipment. Un procédé comprend la capture d'une image d'une plaque d'immatriculation d'un véhicule, conjointement avec d'autres capteurs qui capturent (et associent) une ou plusieurs caractéristiques de pneu d'un pneu monté sur le véhicule. Le procédé consiste à construire des profils de véhicules autonomes à volume élevé destinés à être utilisés à des emplacements de trafic élevés, et des systèmes utilisent des modèles d'apprentissage automatique pour lire des bandes de roulement de pneu sans nécessiter d'équipement de diagnostic spécialisé.
