Pare Certo -Fiscalização Automática de Vagas de Estacionamento Reservadas

Abstract

In Brazil, public and private parking lots have to reserve 2% of theirparking spaces for people with physical disabilities (PCD).However, since those spots are seldom monitored properly, somedrivers with no mobility issues deliberately use them. To preventsuch abuses, this work proposes the use of a surveillance devicecalled Pare Certo to monitor reserved parking spaces. By using acamera and computer vision algorithms, Pare Certo captures theimage of a car and recognizes its license plate. In case the vehicle isnot entitled to use reserved spots, the device will beep until thevehicle is removed and, in case the offender ignores the warning, anotification with the vehicle data will be sent via wi-fi to an officerwho can take the appropriate measures. A prototype was built tovalidate the concepts developed in this project and performedsatisfactorily in the tests performed.
