Vision AI specialist Hayden AI has launched an automated double parking enforcement application that runs on its vision AI platform. Employing the same hardware and AI technology as the company’s automated bus lane, bus stop, and bike lane enforcement platform, the new application is designed to improve road safety and public transit performance by reducing instances of illegal double parking through highly accurate and scalable enforcement.

Automated double parking enforcement gives transit and other agencies an additional tool to improve bus performance and road safety for everyone. By deploying the Hayden AI technology already installed on buses for automated bus lane, bus stop, and bike lane enforcement, cities can detect and enforce illegal double parking violations at scale.

Double parking creates major issues for road safety and public transit. When drivers illegally block a travel lane parallel to legally parked vehicles, they force buses, other vehicles, and cyclists to manoeuvre around the stopped vehicle, increasing the likelihood of crashes and causing significant travel delays.

“All it takes is one double parked vehicle to create a traffic hazard and delay multiple buses — and the people relying on those buses to reach their jobs and appointments on time,” said Chris Carson, founder and CEO of Hayden AI. “Our vision AI platform is designed to improve transit performance and road safety, and reducing double parking is a huge part of that. I’m thrilled that we are adding automated double parking enforcement to our vision AI platform.”
