Applications of AI Surveillance in Gas Stations

With Taiwan's dense road networks and high vehicle density, gas stations are widely distributed across the island, boasting over 2,500 stations in total. On average, each of the 319 townships would have approximately eight stations, with even greater concentration along major traffic routes.

In efforts to enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs, most gas stations have adopted streamlined staffing models. A common feature is the "self-service pump," where customers refuel independently, often with a discount as an incentive. This self-service approach has become a prevailing trend across Taiwan.

Given the reduced presence of on-site personnel, effectively managing the premises and monitoring operations increasingly relies on advanced surveillance systems. LILIN's AI framework offers a range of practical solutions, including:

• Prolonged Vehicle Presence Detection
  To maintain optimal traffic flow, vehicles should vacate the fueling area promptly after refueling. LILIN’s smart monitoring system designates time-sensitive zones and tracks vehicle presence. Should a vehicle remain for too long, an alert is triggered to notify the staff.
• Restricted Area Intrusion Detection
  Gas stations are inherently high-risk environments, with certain areas restricted to authorized personnel only. Surveillance cameras equipped with intrusion detection capabilities monitor these zones, promptly issuing alerts when unauthorized access occurs.
• Traffic Flow Monitoring
  Conventional methods of manually counting or tracking traffic at pump stations are inefficient and lack precision. LILIN’s smart cameras automatically record the number of vehicles entering each fueling station, providing accurate, real-time data to aid in operational optimization, policy adjustments, and congestion management.

Furthermore, car wash facilities—commonly found at gas stations—also benefit from these innovations. Comprehensive video recording helps mitigate potential customer disputes, while integrated license plate recognition systems can establish VIP databases, enabling tailored promotions and personalized service experiences.
