Abstract

The constant increase in the number of inhabitants in cities affecting all human activities in cities. Finding a free parking space is a growing problem. This problem is especially pronounced in people with disabilities. To make it easier for people with disabilities to perform various activities in cities, there are parking spaces that are intended and reserved for them. Most often, parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities are occupied by unscrupulous drivers. This paper presents one approach to the detection of illegal occupation of parking spaces reserved for persons with disabilities based on the use of license plate recognition cameras. By recognizing the license plate, it is possible to automatically check whether the vehicle has a parking permit for a parking space reserved for people with disabilities.
