Vehicles Parking Restrictions
Detects vehicles parked where they should not be — fire lanes, hydrant frontages, disabled bays, dock approaches — and how long each one stays there.

Parking rules, and the vehicles that ignore them
What it detects
Harvested from the computer-vision use-case columns of the Q3 industry papers. Every item below is a rule you can switch on, tune per zone and report on.
Fire-lane and no-parking-zone obstruction
Flags a vehicle standing in a lane that has to stay clear, with the dwell time attached.
Blocked hydrants and extinguisher access
Detects parking that puts fire equipment out of reach.
Disabled-bay misuse
Identifies vehicles occupying accessible bays without the relevant permit displayed, where the view allows.
Illegal and double parking
Covers kerbside and internal-road parking that blocks a running lane.
Unsafe parking in yards and around docks
Surfaces parking that narrows a manoeuvring area or blocks a dock approach.
Abandoned vehicles and long overstay
Separates a short stop from a vehicle that has not moved for days.
Dangerous-goods parking compliance
Applies the segregation and standing rules that apply to DG loads.
Yard parking and EV-bay use
Tracks use of designated bays, including charging bays, against what they are reserved for.
Bay occupancy and availability
Reports which bays are free, which are taken and for how long.
Dwell and overstay per bay
Turns the raw detections into a utilisation figure per bay and per shift.
Where it applies
The sub-sectors below are the ones the Q3 industry papers name for this detection. Each links to the industry hub.
How it works
01
Runs on the cameras you already have
Inference happens at the edge on your existing CCTV and IP streams. No new camera estate, no video leaving site, no cloud round-trip in the detection loop.
02
Thresholds and zones you configure
Draw the zone, set the rule, set the dwell, count and confidence thresholds. Rules differ by area, shift and task, because sites do.
03
Evidence, not just alerts
Every event is logged with camera, zone, timestamp and a clip, so the record is reviewable afterwards and usable in a corrective action.
04
Integrates with what you already run
Events push into your VMS, alerting and reporting stack through Fogsphere Manager, with dashboards broken down by area, shift and crew.
Risk & control objective
The Q3 smart city paper reports a 40% improvement in the identification and management of parked and abandoned vehicles, and the retail and chemical papers add the cases where parking is a compliance question rather than a convenience one — fire lanes, hydrant frontages, accessible bays, dangerous-goods standing rules. In all of them the useful variable is duration, and duration is exactly what a patrol cannot capture.
The control objective is a parking rule per bay and per lane with dwell measured against it. What the operator gains is both an enforcement record and a utilisation figure: the same detections that evidence a blocked fire lane also tell a yard planner which bays are actually being used and which are not.
