Parking Duration Calculation

Calculates how long each vehicle has been parked by pairing its ANPR entry and exit events, producing accurate dwell-time data per plate, per zone, and per time window. It powers parking billing, enforces time limits with overstay alerts, and reveals occupancy and demand patterns through historical dwell-time trends. It works alongside Parking ANPR Entry/Exit or standalone on any ANPR feed, integrates with billing and payment systems, and deploys on edge or server.

Prerequisites & Limitations

What Parking Duration Calculation needs to run reliably, and the operating limits to plan for.

Prerequisites

  • Requires ANPR feeds at entry and exit — works with Parking ANPR Entry/Exit; standard IP cameras are sufficient as vehicles stop at barriers
  • Consistent plate reads at both entry and exit for accurate dwell-time pairing
  • Adequate illumination — pair with an IR illuminator for covered or night-time lanes
  • Stable bandwidth between camera and edge/server — roughly 4–8 Mbps per 2MP H.264/H.265 stream
  • Stable power and network at the entry/exit

Operating Limits

Factor Edge Server
Incident / event capture rate≤ ~5 events per second≤ ~20 events per second
Concurrent camera streams per node1–4 streams (Jetson TX2 / Orin)8–16+ streams
Minimum object/plate size in frame≥ ~20 px≥ ~20 px
Event-to-alert latency< ~1 s on-deviceDepends on network round-trip

Indicative figures — actual limits depend on hardware, scene, and configuration.
