Image
A crop or context frame associated with the observation made during the pass.
Road-sign inventory
Vertical road-sign mapping for municipal review
In cities where OCR vehicles operate, R-6b signs found within the areas covered by the routes are mapped. Each record can associate the image, location and context for municipal review and routing.
R-6b
Operational capability
R-6b mapping is already part of OCR routes
A vehicle pass produces a field record that can be located, reviewed and compared with the municipal inventory. Its value lies in linking the image to route context without turning a visual observation into an automatic decision.
- Coverage
- Signs found in the areas actually driven by the routes. The record does not represent every street in the city.
- Official meaning
- Under Brazil's Traffic Signage Manual, R-6b indicates regulated parking and means that parking is permitted.
- Interpretation limit
- The sign alone does not confirm paid parking, charging, hours, duration, an infringement or a citation. Those conditions require context and applicable regulation.
Field record
What reaches the review desk
The inventory organizes what was observed along the route. The municipal team remains responsible for confirming classification and deciding the next action.
Location
Position and route reference to locate the point and reduce manual searching.
Context
Suggested class, observed face, visibility conditions and other fields defined for the project.
Record status
Triage, review and routing status without confusing an observation with a regulatory conclusion.
From the street to the inventory
Five stages with clear responsibility
The workflow separates capture, organization and decision. This makes it possible to audit what was observed and what the responsible team confirmed.
- 01
Capture along the route
The vehicle records images in the areas driven under the authorized configuration.
- 02
Associate context
Image, location and route reference become part of the same record.
- 03
Organize triage
The system groups observations and flags records that require review.
- 04
Review
The team confirms class, condition, responsibility and the need for an additional inspection.
- 05
Route and follow up
After review, the record may enter a compatible municipal workflow and receive status updates.

Operational proof, project configuration and public decisions are different things
The page distinguishes what is already done along OCR routes from what depends on procurement, acceptance and assessment by the authority.

Other classes and conditions
Additional vertical signage, road markings and visibility conditions depend on the project and acceptance testing.Municipal responsibility
Compliance and action
Absence, non-compliance, priority, maintenance and administrative decisions require a reference inventory and competent assessment.Responsible procurement
What must be defined before deployment
A useful inventory begins with clear acceptance criteria. Generic percentages do not replace a sample representative of real operations.
Routes and coverage
Segments, pass frequency and situations outside the survey's reach.
Included categories
Sign classes, required fields and the dictionary used during review.
Capture conditions
Lighting, distance, speed, occlusion, legibility and minimum image quality.
Sample and acceptance criteria
Methodology, unit of measurement, duplicate handling and project-specific limits.
Review and responsibilities
Who confirms a record, requests an inspection and decides the action.
Integration and governance
Compatible interfaces, credentials, access, retention, export and status return.

Frequently asked questions
Inventory boundaries and criteria
What does R-6b sign mapping cover?
In cities where OCR vehicles operate, R-6b signs found within the areas covered by the routes are mapped. A record can associate the image, location and context for review. Coverage corresponds to the route actually driven, not to every street in the city.
Does an R-6b sign confirm that a street segment is paid parking?
No. Under Brazil's Traffic Signage Manual, R-6b indicates regulated parking and means that parking is permitted. Charging, hours, duration, category and boundaries depend on supplementary information, local regulation and the signed segment. A visual record alone does not confirm paid parking, an infringement or a citation.
Does the system automatically identify missing or non-compliant signs?
An image may indicate that a sign is damaged, obscured or illegible. Claiming that a sign is missing or non-compliant requires comparing the record with the road design, reference inventory, regulation and inspection by the competent authority. Technology organizes observations; it does not issue an automatic regulatory diagnosis.
Can other types of road signage be mapped?
A project may include other classes of vertical signage, road markings and visibility conditions. Each category depends on the contracted scope, capture quality, classification dictionary and acceptance testing representative of the routes.
Does the inventory automatically create a work order?
Not by default. After the review defined by the municipality, a record may be exported or routed to a service workflow when compatible interfaces, credentials, rules and responsibilities are in place. Work-order creation, priority and closure follow the authority's procedure.
How should mapping quality be evaluated?
Acceptance should use real route samples and criteria defined before deployment: lighting, distance, speed, legibility, included classes, duplicates and location accuracy. Results are measured for that project; no universal percentage is assumed.
Does the inventory replace a traffic-engineering inspection?
No. The inventory expands observation and organizes field records. Road design, compliance, the need to install or replace a sign and administrative action remain subject to assessment by the responsible teams and authorities.

Define the route, inventory and acceptance test first
The commercial discussion starts with what the municipality needs to observe, review and route. From there, capture, fields, integrations and responsibilities can be defined.
