1. A transportation system for identifying an object using a short range radar at a transportation gate, the transportation system comprising:
the short range radar is configured to:
determine the object within a predetermined distance from the transportation gate, and
sense the object at the transportation gate to generate a point cloud, wherein the object includes one or more items associated with each other; and
a cloud server comprising a machine learning library, wherein the machine learning library comprises a plurality of machine learning algorithms, the cloud server is configured to:
determine an identification of the object based on sensed data of the object using a first machine learning algorithm, wherein:
the identification is determined based on matching the point cloud with a plurality of profiles;
the plurality of profiles includes matching information for a plurality of predetermined objects; and
the object is selected from the plurality of predetermined objects using the matching information,
determine an authorization for the object to pass through the transportation gate using a second machine learning algorithm, wherein a subset of the plurality of predetermined objects are authorized, and
in response to determination of the authorization, either authorize a passage through the transportation gate or flag the object as being unauthorized.
