Car parks themselves remain largely undigitized, and parking data sits separately from the data of the retail facilities attached to them. The aim was to bring the two together into something usable for marketing.
The challenge Idein solves
Occupancy detection, licence plate recognition and vehicle orientation are handled alongside people counting and attribute analysis — all on the same edge AI camera. Being able to capture both vehicles and people on one platform is what makes joining parking and facility data possible. Running it on the low-cost “ai cast” device keeps the equipment cost viable even when deployed across many parking bays.
What we did
- Joint business development on advanced parking solutions for retail facility car parks
- Planned general-purpose AI apps for occupancy detection, licence plate recognition, vehicle orientation, people counting and attribute analysis
- Device development under consideration using the recognition module of the low-cost “ai cast”
- Idein provides the platform, AI app implementation, and its know-how in the retail domain
