Goal and impact

The system recognises bicycles in the bike racks.


Several times a day, the system takes photos that it compares. That way, the system sees what the occupancy in the parking is and how long a bicycle has been in the same place.


With this information, we can remove orphaned bicycles if they remain too long.

For deadlines, see general terms and conditions.

Considerations

To know how long a bicycle has been at a particular place in the bicycle shed, we must have an automated system.


This system will also provide evidence through photos with time-date-stamp.

Human intervention

If the system has determined that a bicycle has been in the storage facility for longer than stated in the general conditions, a notification will go to the manager who will check the photos.


If it appears that the bicycle has been there too long, it will be removed.

Risk management

A contract has been concluded between the supplier and the municipality of Amsterdam with various agreements, SLA, DAP, DFA. And other privacy and security agreements in accordance with the terms and conditions of the municipality of Amsterdam.

Operations

Data

The system only uses photos it takes itself.

Technical design

The system takes several photos that it compares to see if a bike has been moved.
