AI Tracks Thousands of Parking Violations in Russian Cities

*Artificial intelligence is helping Russian authorities crack down on illegal parking near trash collection sites, leading to a 40 percent drop in violations.*

In the Moscow region, a neural network has flagged nearly 4,000 vehicles illegally parked near trash container zones, obstructing waste management operations. The AI system, integrated into the local 'Safe Region' surveillance network, analyzes video feeds from security cameras, automatically detects violations, and reads license plate numbers.

According to the press service of the Ministry of Public Administration, IT, and Communications of the Moscow Region, these AI-generated alerts are used to assign inspectors to verify the offense. If the violation is confirmed, a fine is issued to the car owner.

The technology has proven effective: in areas where fines were implemented, the number of such violations dropped by 40 percent.

This AI-powered parking control marks another step in the digital transformation of urban governance. By clearing access to waste containers and encouraging compliance, the system helps shape more disciplined driver behavior and reduces repeat offenses.
