What is it about?

We developed an advanced system capable of reading curbside parking signs and seamlessly converting parking regulations into digital format. Relying exclusively on computer vision, our technology analyzes street footage captured by standard dash cams. Designed for scalability, this solution offers cities a sustainable way to digitize and maintain street infrastructure while efficiently managing and analyzing parking behaviors.
