A large increase in the number and types of vehicles occurred due to the growth in population. This fact brings the need for efficient vehicle classification systems that can be used in traffic surveillance and intelligent transportation systems. In this study, a multi-type vehicle classification system based on Random Neural Networks (RNNs) and Bag-Of-Visual Words (BOVWs) is developed. A 10-fold cross-validation technique is used, with a large dataset, to assess the proposed approach. Moreover, the BOVW–RNN's classification performance is compared with LIVCS, a vehicle classification system based on RNNs. The results reveal that BOVW–RNN classification system produces more reliable and accurate classification results than LIVCS. The main contribution of this paper is that the developed system can serve as a framework for many vehicle classification systems.
