Heatmap generation for peak usage times

Purpose

1.1 Automate the generation of heatmaps visualizing peak motorcycle parking usage, allowing corporate-level managers in parking services to identify busy periods, optimize operations, and enhance revenue.
1.2 Enable automated reporting for data-driven decisions, anomaly detection, and predictive analytics.
1.3 Integrate and automate data aggregation from parking sensors, entry systems, and payment gateways.
1.4 Eliminate manual reporting by automating heatmap creation and scheduled delivery to stakeholders.
1.5 Support scalable data collection across multi-location corporate motorcycle parking infrastructures.

Trigger Conditions

2.1 Receipt of real-time or batch data from parking sensors or access control devices.
2.2 Scheduled task (e.g., daily at midnight, weekly on Sunday, monthly summary).
2.3 Achievement of specific parking occupancy thresholds or anomalies detected in traffic patterns.
2.4 Manual on-demand request via dashboard or API call.
2.5 Data synchronization or completion of data upload from third-party sources.
