Metrici parking Enforcement

Detection Engines and their roles

Using Metrici AI technology and LPR, car kits for on-the-move detection, GPS location, and complementary tools can revolutionize parking enforcement in a city or shopping center. Here's how they can be effectively integrated :

LPR for Automated Violations & Access Control

How it Works:

  • LPR cameras detect and register all license plates entering or exiting a parking area.
  • Vehicles are automatically matched with authorized lists (subscriptions, employees, VIPs) or parking payment records.
  • If a car overstays, enters a restricted area, or does not pay, alerts are triggered -e-mail, SMS or external divices.
  • Use Cases for Enforcement:

  • City Enforcement: Detect unpaid parking in restricted zones and generate fines automatically.
  • Supermarkets & Malls: Ensure only customers or permitted vehicles use the parking or take care that pay accordingly to time of stay.
  • Airports: Control long-term parking vs. short-term drop-offs; enforce restricted parking zones.
  • Integration Possibilities:

  • Sync with city parking databases for real-time fine issuance.
  • Integrate with mobile apps for enforcement officers to scan plates and verify violations.
  • Automatic barriers for access control—only authorized vehicles enter.


  • Metrici PPD for Real-Time Space Monitoring

    How it Works:

  • Uses Metrici AI to detect empty or occupied parking spots without sensors or other hardware.
  • Provides real-time occupancy updates to enforcement officers or mobile apps.
  • Identifies cars parked outside designated areas or in restricted zones.
  • Can be also crossed with a LPR reading to know exactly which car occupies which place
  • Use Cases for Enforcement:

  • City : Monitor handicapped zones, loading bays, fire lanes, and issue alerts if occupied unlawfully.
  • Supermarkets : Prevent long-term parking abuse by non-customers.
  • Airports : Detect unauthorized vehicles in reserved parking spots or taxi waiting zones.
  • Integration Possibilities:

  • Link with LPR for license plate matching (who is parked and for how long).
  • Smart parking apps to show available spots & warn enforcement officers of violations.
  • Integration with fines system for instant ticketing when unauthorized parking is detected.
  • Metrici Car Kit (Mobile LPR for Enforcement on the Move)

    How it Works:

  • Car-mounted cameras scan plates while moving, detecting parked vehicles instantly.
  • Works in real time, without requiring static LPR cameras in every spot.
  • Officers driving through city streets, supermarket lots, or airport parking lots can identify expired payments, overstays, and unauthorized vehicles automatically.
  • Coverage of large areas quickly, enabling efficient patrols in city streets or expansive parking lots.
  • Integration with parking databases to cross-reference plates against payment or permit systems.
  • Live alerts for vehicles with outstanding violations or blacklisted vehicles.
  • Use Cases for Enforcement:

  • City: Patrol enforcement – vehicles drive around scanning for violations.
  • Supermarkets & Airports: Identify cars parked beyond allowed time or in wrong/unauthorized areas without needing fixed cameras everywhere.
  • Special Parking Zones: Scan taxi queues, loading bays, and other regulated areas automatically.
  • Logs GPS coordinates of detected violations for accurate reporting and follow-up.
  • Creates geofenced zones for specific parking rules (e.g. resident-only areas, sector 5 of the city/ parking lot etc).
  • Guides enforcement officers to specific areas requiring attention.
  • Integration Possibilities:

  • Direct link to city parking databases for LPR check and immediate fine issuance.
  • Connect to mobile enforcement tablets for real-time officer intervention.
  • Alert traffic officers when an infraction is detected.
  • Mobile & Cloud-Based Enforcement with External Database Integrations

    How it Works:

  • Metrici can connect with third-party databases (city permit systems, supermarket loyalty programs, airport booking systems).
  • Cross-references LPR detections with external sources for real-time validation.
  • Violators are automatically fined or reported.
  • Sync all components (LPR, GPS, payment records) into a centralized platform. Sync between different enforcement vehicles and database
  • Advantages

  • Live dashboards for parking operators to monitor occupancy and violations.
  • Historical data analysis for trends and enforcement optimization.
  • Scalability to accommodate more cameras, vehicles, or zones.
  • Use Cases for Enforcement:

  • City : Instant check for valid parking permits. Alerts if unpaid vehicle detected.
  • Supermarkets: Match customers vs. non-customers (only shoppers get free parking).
  • Airports: Compare online pre-bookings vs. actual parked vehicles to prevent fraud.
  • Mobile Apps and Integration with Payment Systems

  • Allow users to pay for parking and receive reminders of expiration times.
  • Integrate with LPR to match payment records in a database with scanned plates anywhere.
  • Apps for Enforcement:

  • Real-time notifications of unpaid vehicles or expired sessions.
  • Record evidence, such as images of violations, and issue digital citations instantly or later.
  • Consult periodically the detections at a time interval to see violations. Set alarms
  • Automatic Alerts & Communication with Law Enforcement or Security

    How it Works:

  • Sends real-time alerts via email, SMS, or mobile apps when violations occur.
  • Can integrate with police databases for stolen vehicles or wanted cars.
  • Enforcement teams receive instant reports on violations with photo evidence.
  • Communication between teams working independtly. Instant integration of databases on each vehicle when an event is recorded by any of them
  • Use Cases for Enforcement:

  • City: Officers get instant violation notifications (e.g., overstays, expired permits).
  • Supermarkets: Security is alerted to long-term parked or abandoned vehicles.
  • Airports: Prevent unauthorized taxis or private cars using lanes illegally.
  • AI-Based Analytics for Decision Making

    How it Works:

  • Metrici collects data on parking trends, violations, and occupancy patterns.
  • See and predict peak hours, high-risk zones, and areas with frequent violations.
  • Helps authorities adjust pricing, enforcement schedules, or policies.
  • Use Cases for Enforcement:

  • City: Identify problem areas where illegal parking happens often.
  • Supermarkets: Optimize customer parking policies.
  • Airports: Improve traffic flow & avoid congestion in drop-off zones or other area.
  • Conclusion: A Fully Automated Parking Enforcement Ecosystem

    By integrating Metrici LPR, Metrici PPD, Metrici Car Kit, and mobile/cloud solutions, cities, supermarkets, and airports can:
  • Eliminate manual enforcement inefficiencies.
  • Reduce revenue loss from unpaid parking.
  • Ensure fair & legal use of parking spaces.
  • Automate ticketing, alerts, and real-time monitoring.
  • Enhance customer experience with seamless parking management.
