Abstract

A method and system for auditing and verifying vehicle identification numbers (VINs) on transport devices (e.g., trucks, trains, ships etc.) with multilevel fraud detection. Digital photographs of vehicle VINs on transport devices are collected with camera components on the transport devices (e.g., trucks, trains, etc.) and verified with multilevel fraud detection, crowdsourcing and other information collected about the vehicles on the transport device. The method and system is used to detect fraud associated with VIN audits of vehicles and unique identifier of non-vehicle entities on transport devices.
