Abstract:

Roadside parking zones play a significant role in alleviating urban parking pressure. However, with the continuous growth in urban motor vehicle ownership, the supply-demand gap for roadside parking spaces continues to widen, leading to severe illegally parking that significantly impacts traffic efficiency and safety. Existing illegally parking monitoring systems based on fixed-point cameras or sensors suffer from high costs and limited coverage. To address this, this paper proposes a solution for detecting suspected illegally parked vehicles in roadside parking zones using mobile cameras. The solution is developed using embedded devices combined with an improved object detection algorithm (achieving a 3.3% increase in mAP@50). Trained on a custom-built dataset, it enables real-time detection of suspected illegally parked vehicles and effectively supports large-area monitoring tasks for suspected illegal parking. Comparative analysis with simultaneous drone-tracked orthophoto imagery from the same road sections showed that the solution achieves an average precision of 0.87, a recall of 0.88, and a detection speed of 53.96 frames per second (fps), fully validating the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
