Urban mobility security: secure your flows, parking lots and public spaces, streamline your sites
Private and public parking lots, gas stations, car dealerships, garages, public transport terminals, vehicle rental operators (car/motorbike/bike/scooter), urban public spaces managed by local authorities. Urban mobility concentrates constant vehicle and people flows, exposes parked assets, and engages operator liability on citizen safety. ANAVEO unifies license plate recognition, access control, video surveillance and certified monitoring to turn your sites into mastered mobility environments.
A unified approach combining automatic license plate recognition (LPR/ALPR), vehicle and pedestrian access control, indoor and outdoor video surveillance, zone breach detection, illegal dumping detection, fire prevention in underground parking and certified monitoring. Beyond classical security, mobility security becomes an intelligent flow management lever: streamlining vehicle entries/exits, presence time measurement, available spot optimization, peak attendance anticipation. At ANAVEO, this approach is powered by the INNOVEO platform, which unifies event streams across all your sites and alerts teams at the right moment.
In urban mobility, security concerns the commercial parking director, gas station network manager, automotive dealership director, vehicle rental network director, shopping center Property Manager (parking), local authority security manager and public transport director. They share one expectation: secure open spaces crossed by significant vehicle and pedestrian flows, streamline entries and exits to avoid peak-hour blockages, and preserve user serenity, without turning the space into a hostile traffic zone.
ANAVEO supports private and public parking operators, gas station and EV charging station networks, automotive dealerships and garages, public transport terminals (bus and rail stations, bus depots), rental and car-sharing operators, as well as local authorities (city halls, urban communities, metropolises) for the security of their urban public spaces. The same approach applies everywhere: HQ-centralized supervision, mobility-purpose Smart Apps, audit-ready documentary compliance for prefectural video protection authorizations.
Urban mobility and smart cities: securing flows and spaces
France counts tens of thousands of parking lots (commercial, residential, public), several thousand gas stations and a dense network of transport terminals. Pressure on urban space security is rising with the growth of new mobility (bikes, scooters, car-sharing) and citizens’ increased expectations on the cleanliness and safety of public spaces.
| Indicator | Value |
|---|---|
| Applicable ERP category by site | Public covered parking = type PS, transport terminals = type GA, itinerant events = type T/CTS |
| Video protection in public-facing areas | Subject to French Internal Security Code, prefectural authorization mandatory |
| GDPR video protection | Strict CNIL framework: signage, retention period, rights, register |
| NIS2 – transport | Transport operators (terminals, depots) classified essential by NIS2 depending on size |
| Underground parking fire risk | Heat accumulation, presence of flammable elements, rapid spread |
| License plate recognition (LPR/ALPR) | Specific CNIL framework: limited purposes, short retention (typically 24h on private site) |
| Illegal dumping | French Environment Code sanctions (fines up to €1,500 per dumping caught in the act) |

The verdict is clear: a parking lot, gas station, dealership or urban public space that no longer invests in electronic security today exposes itself to human risk (user assault, pedestrian/vehicle accident), material risk (vehicle theft and damage), environmental risk (illegal dumping, fires) and regulatory risk (video protection non-compliance, missing prefectural authorization). Mobility space physical security is no longer optional.
Six security challenges of a parking lot, gas station or urban public space
Parking operators, gas station managers, dealership directors, Property Managers and local authority security managers share six structural challenges that traditional security no longer solves.
Intrusion in parking lots and stationing areas
Residential, corporate, commercial parking lots: regular attendance peaks, difficult supervision, increased risks of vehicle theft, damage, intrusion into areas reserved for rightful holders.
Vehicle theft and damage
Cars, motorbikes, high-end bikes, electric scooters: parked vehicles are prime targets, particularly during off-peak hours and on remote spots. Operator liability is engaged in case of manifest surveillance failure.
Underground parking fire
Heat accumulation, presence of flammable elements (fuels, lithium batteries of EVs and scooters), rapid spread in confined space: underground and covered parking lots cumulate risk factors. Early detection is vital for evacuation and firefighter intervention.
Automated vehicle entry and exit management
At peak hours, lack of fluidification creates blockages, degrades user experience and exposes to unauthorized access. License plate recognition (LPR/ALPR) automates access for rightful holders and tracks each vehicle’s presence time.
Illegal dumping on roads and surroundings
Waste, bulky items, industrial waste abandonment on roadsides or around parking lots: visual discomfort for residents, financial burden for local authorities, image damage for businesses. Smart video detection of illegal dumping helps authorities intervene.
Citizen and worker protection in flow zones
24/7 gas stations, night parking lots, transport terminals, parking attendants: coexistence of vehicle and pedestrian flows creates accident and assault risks. Zone breach detection and monitoring improve responsiveness.
The ANAVEO answer is built on a simple principle: secure without blocking, by turning security into an intelligent flow management lever, with one platform, all your sites, one single point of contact.
Three real cases: commercial parking, gas station network, local authority
Three families of mobility environments that ANAVEO solutions support on a daily basis, with comparable field configurations and homogeneous ROI levers.

Four mobility security use cases with immediate ROI
A well-executed mobility security strategy delivers four concrete levers, on license plate recognition, breach detection, live supervision and multi-site management.
Automatic license plate recognition (LPR/ALPR)
Number Plate Tracker automates vehicle entries/exits via optical plate recognition. White list of rightful holders (subscribers, staff, contractors), black list of flagged plates, presence time calculation, visit frequency. Compatible day and night. CNIL LPR compliance respected (limited purposes, adapted retention period).
Vehicle flow streamlinedBreach and illegal dumping detection
Zone Tracker detects the breach of a defined zone (day or night) on parking lots, surroundings, technical accesses. Also detects object appearance (illegal dumping, bulky abandonment). Direct alert to security desk or municipal police in case of out-of-hours. Major lever for local authorities.
Illegal dumping tracedLive supervision and fast investigation
CamGuide allows the parking or station security agent to smoothly navigate from camera to camera by simply clicking on pre-configured zones on screen. Live or in playback, you follow a suspect, vehicle or object with no technical expertise, you speed up the response decision and produce usable evidence (dispute, contentious, complaint).
3x faster investigationCentralized multi-site supervision
All your cameras, alarms, access points and alerts reachable from a single interface (CloudTracker). Particularly suited to gas station networks, multi-parking operators, automotive dealership networks and local authorities managing several public sites. Consolidated reporting for network direction and security commissions.

Questions from parking operators, stations, dealerships and local authorities
How do we streamline parking entries/exits at peak hours?
Number Plate Tracker automates access for rightful holders (subscribers, staff, contractors, delivery) via optical plate recognition. No more ticket to take, no more blocking at exit without coins. Editable white list from HQ, black list for flagged vehicles. On 800+ space parking lots, fluidification ROI is measurable in under a year.
Is license plate recognition CNIL-compliant?
Yes, under conditions. CNIL specifically frames license plate recognition (LPR/ALPR): purposes must be limited (access control, security, presence time management) and data retention must be short (typically 24 hours for a private parking, more if justified). ANAVEO natively configures NPT according to applicable CNIL deliberations. On a public-facing site (public parking, road), specific prefectural authorization may be required in addition to GDPR file.
How do we secure an underground parking against fire?
Underground parking lots cumulate risk factors (heat accumulation, presence of fuels, lithium batteries of EVs and scooters in charge, rapid spread in confined space). HeatTracker uses thermal camera detection to identify an abnormal hot spot before visible flames appear. Combined with APSAD I31 type P5 ANAVEO PREVENT monitoring, response starts in under 60 seconds and evacuation can be triggered in time.
How do we detect and trace illegal dumping near parking or on public roads?
Zone Tracker automatically detects object appearance in a defined zone (bulky items, garbage bags, industrial waste). Time-stamped alert to security desk or municipal police, video sequence retained as proof. The French Environment Code sanctions illegal dumping up to €1,500 in the act (more in case of recidivism or hazardous waste). It’s a major lever for local authorities and commercial parking operators wishing to preserve their image.
How do we obtain prefectural video protection authorization for a public-facing site?
Video protection in public-facing areas (public parking, station surroundings, public squares, transport terminals) is subject to the French Internal Security Code and requires prefectural authorization in addition to GDPR configuration. ANAVEO supports the file preparation (CERFA form, implementation plan, purposes, retention period, protection measures) and provides compliant signage and public information. Audit-ready documentary compliance.
What solution to supervise a network of 80 gas stations?
CloudTracker centralizes supervision of the 80 stations in one interface driven by your security direction from HQ. You access pump, shop, surroundings and ATM cameras of each station, align anti-theft and anti-fraud standards, compare incidents station by station and identify sites that deserve targeted reinforcement. Particularly suited to 24/7 self-service night stations, with ANAVEO PREVENT response in under 60 seconds on intrusion alert.
How do we protect parking attendants and users in night parking?
Worker Protection Tracker for agents (fall detection, manual SOS, geolocation) combined with 24/7 ANAVEO PREVENT monitoring. On the user side, visible video protection at entrances and main circulation zones plays a deterrent role. Zone Tracker alerts on suspicious behaviour (prowlers, groupings in forbidden zones). Response starts in under three minutes on PTI alert, in under 60 seconds on confirmed video incident.
What are the ERP obligations for a public covered parking or transport terminal?
Public covered parking lots fall under ERP type PS (parking facility), transport terminals (bus, rail stations) under ERP type GA, itinerant events (fairs, exhibitions) under ERP type T or CTS. Each category imposes specific levels of fire safety system (SSI), smoke extraction, evacuation signage and staff training. ANAVEO supports the initial compliance setup and ongoing maintenance, with an annual audit adapted to your site category.
