Execution Context
This function orchestrates real-time data streams from IoT sensors and camera feeds to calculate precise dwell times for every parked vehicle. By aggregating entry and exit timestamps, the system enforces dynamic pricing models and generates compliance reports for operations teams. It eliminates manual counting errors and ensures accurate billing cycles across multi-lot facilities without requiring direct human intervention during peak hours.
The system ingests continuous video and sensor streams to detect vehicle presence at entry points, establishing the baseline timestamp for each session.
An orchestration engine correlates these events with exit signals, filtering out false positives caused by stationary objects or temporary stops.
Calculated dwell times are immediately processed against configured business rules to trigger payment calculations and generate operational alerts.
