Abstract: This work presents a point cloud dataset of vehicles passing through a toll station in Colombia to be used to train artificial vision and computational intelligence algorithms. This article details the process of creating the dataset, covering initial data acquisition, range information preprocessing, point cloud validation, and vehicle labeling. Additionally, a detailed description of the structure and content of the dataset is provided, along with some potential applications of its use. The dataset consists of 36,026 total objects divided into 6 classes: 31,432 cars, campers, vans and 2-axle trucks with a single tire on the rear axle, 452 minibuses with a single tire on the rear axle, 1158 buses, 1179 2-axle small trucks, 797 2-axle large trucks, and 1008 trucks with 3 or more axles. The point clouds were captured using a LiDAR sensor and Doppler effect speed sensors. The dataset can be used to train and evaluate algorithms for range data processing, vehicle classification, vehicle counting, and traffic flow analysis. The dataset can also be used to develop new applications for intelligent transportation systems.
