In addition to the two features covered in this article, we previously explored additional features that reveal how SenFORCE is reshaping parking compliance: Enhanced Evidence, and AI Co-Pilot.

Behaviour Analytics: Intelligent Data for Smarter Enforcement
Behaviour Analytics enables users to collect, analyse, and visualise a wide range of alerts, providing comprehensive metadata for every incident. The feature offers users location-based insights via a Map tab within the application, showcasing details like the orientation, class, make, and model of detected vehicles.
This advanced metadata brings new dimensions to vehicle detection, acting as automated business rules to generate alerts with precision. From enforcing parking bylaws to identifying vehicle types in restricted zones, Behaviour Analytics offers more control and actionable intelligence.
Overall there are three key benefits to using SenFORCE Behaviour Analytics:
-
Orientation Alerts
Detect and analyse vehicle orientation to support automated bylaw enforcement. New rules powered by orientation-based alerts include:
- Nose-to-Kerb Parking Violations
- Vehicles Parked Against Traffic Flow
This automation helps officers quickly address non-compliant vehicles without manual verification.
-
Vehicle Intelligence
Beyond basic license plate recognition, the system identifies a vehicle’s make, model, and colour. This feature adds another layer of intelligence, allowing authorities to monitor vehicles with specific attributes. It can be especially helpful when tracking violations involving unauthorised vehicles.
-
Classification Alerts
Classify vehicles accurately and generate alerts based on vehicle types. For example:
- Sedans in Loading Zones
- Heavy Vehicles on Residential Streets
- Unauthorised Parking in Mail or Bus Zones
- Boat Trailers Parked in Prohibited Areas
By integrating classification into alerts, Behaviour Analytics offers fully automated bylaw enforcement, streamlining operations and enhancing compliance.
Curbside Analytics: A Holistic View of City Assets and Compliance
Meanwhile, Curbside Analytics provides a complete view of the curbspace beyond vehicle management. It enables users to identify and track city assets, raise service requests, and manage compliance issues efficiently. With a centralised asset database, city councils and parking authorities can track the condition and life cycle of each asset, making it easier to manage urban infrastructure.
This feature ensures better curbspace utilisation, more effective enforcement, and a streamlined approach to city management.
Four major use-case benefits of Curbside Analytics include:
-
Service Requests
Raise service requests quickly and easily when issues arise. Whether it’s a damaged footpath, pothole, fallen scooter, or graffiti, Curbside Analytics allows users to log and track requests in real-time, expediting repairs and ensuring a safe urban environment.
-
City Compliance
Monitor compliance beyond vehicles with alerts for other city violations. For instance:
-
- Bins Left Out on Non-Collection Days
- Advertising Signs Without Permits
- Unauthorised Street Furniture or Obstructions
These automated alerts allow enforcement teams to respond proactively, ensuring smooth operations and public safety.
-
-
Asset Capture
Capture and map predefined city assets such as signage, cones, or fire hydrants. This feature creates a centralised asset inventory, helping authorities monitor each item’s lifecycle, manage installations, and plan for maintenance or upgrades.
-
Vehicle Counting and Traffic Surveys
Gain insights into traffic flows, occupancy rates, and usage patterns even when license plates are not detected. The feature provides a spatial dataset of all vehicles identified within a zone, allowing authorities to conduct comprehensive traffic surveys and manage curbspace more effectively.
Why These Features Matter
These two new features combined with Enhanced Evidence and AI Co-Pilot offer a total and holistic solution for parking and curbside management.
Enhanced Evidence, integrated into SenFORCE Pi technology, leverages AI, GPS, and advanced imaging to provide parking enforcement officers with clear, detailed evidence, even in challenging conditions, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and fairness in compliance efforts.
Meanwhile, AI Co-Pilot in SenFORCE enhances officer safety during parking enforcement by enabling hands-free, voice-controlled system interactions, real-time feedback, and voice annotations, allowing officers to focus on driving while efficiently collecting and reviewing patrol data.
In short, these are innovative tools for smarter enforcement and better city management. SenSen continues to drive innovation in smart city solutions, and from vehicle classification alerts to city asset tracking, these capabilities bring automation, precision, and actionable insights to the forefront.
