The practice of LPR & virtual fence
With Taiwan's dense road networks and high vehicle density, gas stations are widely distributed across the island, especially along major traffic routes.
In efforts to enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs, most gas stations have adopted reduced staffing models. A common feature is the "self-service pump," where customers refuel independently, often with a discount as an incentive. Self-service pumps are now standard across Taiwan.
With reduced on-site personnel, managing premises and monitoring operations requires surveillance systems. LILIN's AI framework offers practical solutions including:
- Prolonged Vehicle Presence Detection
To maintain optimal traffic flow, vehicles should vacate the fueling area promptly after refueling. LILIN’s smart monitoring system designates designated zones and tracks vehicle presence. Should a vehicle remain for too long, an alert is triggered to notify the staff. - Restricted Area Intrusion Detection
Gas stations are inherently high-risk environments, with certain areas restricted to authorized personnel only. Surveillance cameras equipped with intrusion detection capabilities monitor these zones, promptly issuing alerts when unauthorized access occurs. - Traffic Flow Monitoring
Manual counting or tracking traffic at pump stations is labor-intensive. LILIN’s smart cameras automatically record vehicle counts at each fueling station to support operational decisions and congestion management.
Car wash facilities also benefit from these systems. Video recording helps resolve customer disputes, and license plate recognition can track VIP customers for targeted promotions and service personalization.
LILIN’s surveillance solutions simplify these operations. Traditionally, implementing such features required complex integration of cameras, processing units, and hardware/software systems, increasing costs and setup complexity.
LILIN's solution performs video analytics directly on the camera, then sends data and footage to the Navigator system. For back-end integration, open-source Python and C# SDKs on GitHub enable quick retrieval of metadata, event records, and image data, reducing engineering workload.
Gas stations cannot tolerate downtime from surveillance system maintenance. LILIN’s surveillance systems have been deployed at many gas stations and traffic hubs in Taiwan for this reason.
