[0002] Vehicle service facilities, including car wash establishments, have evolved to meet the growing demand for efficient and convenient vehicle care. These facilities can include various devices, systems and machinery to automate different aspects of the services provided, including various car wash systems for servicing different vehicles.SUMMARY[00031 Technical solutions described herein are directed to systems and methods for automating vehicle service facility operations using advanced image recognition, intelligent traffic management, and customized service delivery. Automated vehicle service facilities, such as car wash facilities, can experience technical challenges, such as when identifying vehicles with pre-paid services when vehicle license plates are deformed or obscured or when detecting fraudulent license plate changes between vehicles, all of which can hinder efficient and error-free operations. These issues can lead to various operational challenges, involving client misidentification, inefficient traffic flow management, and difficulties in automating service customization based on vehicle data, leading to corrective actions to redo these operations, thereby wasting system resources and energy.[00041 To overcome these challenges, the technical solutions utilize an image capture and recognition system to provide a reliable license plate identification, improving the traffic management, and automating resource allocation for services. In doing so, the technical-1-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) solutions allow for improved automation and reduction of operational errors, resulting in resource and energy savings and improved customer satisfaction. The technical solutions can provide rapid license plate reading using character substitution for quick lookup. This system can provide image capture devices to obtain vehicle license plate images upon entry to a facility. The captured images can be processed using character recognition tools, which can include a substitution or an encoding mechanism for commonly mistaken characters (e.g., "0" for "O", " 1 " for "I" or "1"). This substitution or encoding approach can allow for more efficient and improved license plate identification, even in challenging conditions, such as when plates are muddy or deformed.

[0005] At least one aspect of the technical solutions is directed to a system. The system can include one or more processors, coupled with memory. The one or more processors can maintain, in a database, a plurality of vehicle profiles for a plurality of vehicles, each vehicle profile of the plurality of vehicle profiles including license plate information of a respective vehicle of the plurality of vehicles. The one or more processors can capture, via an image capture device, one or more images of at least a portion of a vehicle positioned within a region of interest of a service facility and identify, using the one or more images, a first sequence of characters of a license plate of the vehicle. The one or more processors can determine one or more characters of the first sequence of characters that satisfy a character replacement schema and generate a second sequence of characters by replacing the one or more characters that satisfy the character replacement schema with one or more corresponding replacement characters in the first sequence of characters. The one or more processors can identify, from the plurality of vehicle profiles maintained in the database, a vehicle profile of the vehicle positioned within the region of interest based on executing a query using the generated second sequence of characters and transmit, to a device, data included in the vehicle profile based on identifying the vehicle profile.[00061 In some implementations, the data transmitted to the device is data for presentation at the device and wherein the device is one of an operator device, an administrator device or a point of sale device of a third party server. To transmit, to the device, data can include the one or more processors being configured to transmit, to a car wash controller, instructions to cause the car wash to provide a car wash type corresponding to the vehicle profile of the vehicle. The one or more processors can compare, using a lookup table, the one or more characters of the first sequence with a plurality of replacement characters comprising the one-2-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) or more corresponding replacement characters, match, using the comparison, the one or more characters of the first sequence with the one or more corresponding replacement characters, and determine, based on the match, that the one or more characters of the first sequence satisfies the character replacement schema. The one or more processors can select, using a lookup table configured to relate characters of license plates with replacement characters for the license plates, one or more representative character pairs corresponding to the one or more characters of the first sequence and generate the second sequence of characters, responsive to the selection.10007] In some implementations, the lookup table relates the one or more characters of the first sequence with the one or more corresponding replacement characters and the one or more representative character pairs include relate at least one of: a character “1” and a character “I”, a character “2” and a character “Z”, a character “5” and a character “S”, a character “0” and a character “O”, or a character “A” and a character “4”. The one or more processors can retrieve, based on the vehicle profile, a setting for a car wash routine of a vehicle service at the service facility and actuate a component controlling access to the service facility to initiate the car wash routine, based on the setting. The one or more processors can identify, based on the one or more images, a characteristic of the vehicle, compare the characteristic with one or more characteristics of the vehicle determined based on prior captured images, and detect, based on the comparison, a discrepancy between the characteristic and the one or more characteristics. The one or more processors can detect, based on the discrepancy, a fraudulent activity and generate an alert to display on a device to indicate the fraudulent activity.

[0008] In some implementations, the one or more processors can determine, based on the discrepancy, that multiple vehicles have used the license plate for services of the service facility and update information on the vehicle profile responsive to the determination that the multiple vehicles have used the license plate. The one or more processors can maintain an image log of the vehicle, the image log comprising one or more prior captured images indexed according to the license plate information and compare the one or more images of the vehicle with the one or more prior captured images to detect discrepancies in vehicle characteristics. The one or more processors can identify, based on the vehicle profile, a service setting for the vehicle, generate, based on the service setting, a service to be provided to the vehicle, and provide, for display on a device, a prompt for the service to be provided. The one or more-3-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) processors can receive, responsive to the prompt, an update to the service to be provided and store, in the vehicle profile, the updated service as the service setting.[0009| At least one aspect of the technical solutions is directed to a method. The method can include maintaining, by one or more processors, in a database, a plurality of vehicle profiles for a plurality of vehicles, each vehicle profile of the plurality of vehicle profiles including license plate information of a respective vehicle of the plurality of vehicles. The method can include capturing, by the one or more processors, via an image capture device, one or more images of at least a portion of a vehicle positioned within a region of interest of a service facility and identifying, by the one or more processors, using the one or more images, a first sequence of characters of a license plate of the vehicle. The method can include determining, by the one or more processors, one or more characters of the first sequence of characters that satisfy a character replacement schema and generating, by the one or more processors, a second sequence of characters by replacing the one or more characters that satisfy the character replacement schema with one or more corresponding replacement characters in the first sequence of characters. The method can include identifying, by the one or more processors, from the plurality of vehicle profiles maintained in the database, a vehicle profile of the vehicle positioned within the region of interest based on executing a query using the generated second sequence of characters and transmitting, by the one or more processors, to a device, data included in the vehicle profile based on identifying the vehicle profile.

[0010] In some implementations, the method includes selecting, by the one or more processors, using a lookup table configured to relate characters of license plates with replacement characters for the license plates, one or more representative character pairs corresponding to the one or more characters of the first sequence and generating, by the one or more processors, the second sequence of characters, responsive to the selection. The lookup table can relate the one or more characters of the first sequence with the one or more corresponding replacement characters and the one or more representative character pairs include relate at least one of a character “1” and a character “I”, a character “2” and a character “Z”, a character “5” and a character “S”, a character “0” and a character “O”, or a character “A” and a character “4”. The method can include identifying, by the one or more processors, based on the vehicle profile, a service setting for the vehicle, generating, by the one or more processors, based on the service setting, a service to be provided to the vehicle, and providing, by the one or more processors, for display on a device, a prompt for the service-4-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) to be provided. The method can include receiving, by the one or more processors, responsive to the prompt, an update to the service to be provided and storing, by the one or more processors, in the vehicle profile, the updated service as the service setting.

[0011] At least one aspect of the technical solutions is directed to a non-transitory computer- readable media. The non-transitory computer-readable media includes instructions that when executed by one or more processors, can cause the one or more processors to maintain, in a database, a plurality of vehicle profiles for a plurality of vehicles, each vehicle profile of the plurality of vehicle profiles including license plate information of a respective vehicle of the plurality of vehicles. The one or more processors can be caused to capture, via an image capture device, one or more images of at least a portion of a vehicle positioned within a region of interest of a service facility and identify, using the one or more images, a first sequence of characters of a license plate of the vehicle. The one or more processors can be caused to determine one or more characters of the first sequence of characters that satisfy a character replacement schema and generate a second sequence of characters by replacing the one or more characters that satisfy the character replacement schema with one or more corresponding replacement characters in the first sequence of characters. The one or more processors can be caused to identify, from the plurality of vehicle profiles maintained in the database, a vehicle profile of the vehicle positioned within the region of interest based on executing a query using the generated second sequence of characters and transmit, to a device, data included in the vehicle profile based on identifying the vehicle profile.[00121 In some implementations, to transmit, to the device, data includes the one or more processors being configured to transmit, to a car wash controller, instructions to cause the car wash to provide a car wash type corresponding to the vehicle profile of the vehicle.

[0013] Technical solutions described herein are directed to systems and methods for automating car wash facility operations using intelligent traffic management. Automated vehicle service facilities, such as car wash facilities, can experience technical challenges while managing throughput of vehicles serviced by the facility. When employing different systems that maintain own queue of vehicles being serviced, discrepancies may arise between different system queues. For example, it can be a challenge to utilize queue data of a system maintaining a queue of vehicles to automate operation of a car wash tunnel system controller that is configured to operate based on manual user updates to its single vehicle queue. In such configurations, a controller for operating a car wash tunnel system may necessitate a manual-5-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) user indication and input of vehicles into the queue in order for the car wash tunnel system to operate, thereby precluding automated car wash operations or utilization of externally maintained vehicle queue data. Such issues can lead to operational challenges, including delay in providing vehicle services, inefficient traffic flow management, and a limited capacity of an operator of the car wash system, all of which can lead to a waste in resources and energy.[0014| To overcome these challenges, the technical solutions utilize a queue management system providing automated queue updates for improved traffic flow and management and a visual representation of the queue, resulting in resource and energy savings and improved customer satisfaction while reducing operational errors. The technical solutions can include a system maintaining a system queue of vehicles awaiting vehicle services by the facility. The solutions can transmit from the system queue vehicle information into a single-vehicle queue of the car wash tunnel system controller and poll the controller to detect changes in the status of the single-vehicle car wash tunnel system queue. Responsive to the detected change in status, the solutions can determine that a next vehicle from the system queue can enter the car wash tunnel system and transmit an instruction to add the data of the next vehicle into the single-vehicle car wash system queue. In doing so, the technical solutions can automate the manual car wash system, allowing for a more efficient traffic flow and savings in resources and system energy.

[0015] Moreover, the technical solutions can overcome the challenges of inefficient and impractical graphical user interface (GUI) layouts for real-time informing of facility operators on the statuses or issues involving vehicles at different lanes of the facility. The technical solutions can provide a GUI system providing facility operators with real-time updates on vehicle information, services provided and statuses of various issues that vehicles in the queue may experience, allowing for more resource and energy efficient services. The system can generate and update GUI data objects for display on a screen alongside updates to the queue of the car wash tunnel system controller and statuses of issues encountered by vehicles at different lanes of the facility. The data objects can display, for example, vehicles images, license plate information or data of vehicles at given facility lanes allowing for real-time issue status updates between the operators servicing the facility, thereby improving both the user experience as well as the resource and energy efficiency of the system and services provided.-6-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[00161 At least one aspect of the technical solutions is directed to a system. The system can include one or more processors, coupled with memory, to maintain a first queue of vehicles comprising a first vehicle and a second vehicle. The one or more processors can transmit to a controller of a car wash tunnel system maintaining a second queue, a first instruction to add information about the first vehicle into the second queue, a status of the second queue updated subsequent to the car wash tunnel system permitting the first vehicle to enter a car wash tunnel. The one or more processors can poll the controller to determine a change in the status of the second queue. The one or more processors can determine, based on the change in the status, that the second queue is available to receive a next vehicle. The one or more processors can transmit to the controller responsive to the determination, a second instruction to add information about the second vehicle into the second queue to cause the car wash tunnel system to permit the second vehicle to enter the car wash tunnel.

[0017] In some implementations, the information identifies a service to be provided to at least one of the first vehicle or the second vehicle by the car wash tunnel system and the controller is configured to control one or more components of the car wash tunnel system according to the service. The polling can be implemented over a serial connection. The second queue can be configured to hold data for only a single vehicle to be serviced by the car wash tunnel system. The polling can include a sequence of requests for the status of the second queue, the sequence of requests transmitted according to a predefined time period. The one or more processors can receive, from an operator device, a wireless signal and transmit, to the controller, the second instruction responsive to the wireless signal. The one or more processors can receive from a tunnel camera capturing one or more images of vehicles at an entrance of the car wash tunnel, the one or more images of the vehicles and update an order of at least the first vehicle or the second vehicle in the first queue using the one or more images.[00181 In some implementations, the one or more processors determine, following the second vehicle entering the car wash tunnel, that the second vehicle is not in the second queue and validate the car wash service identified by the information is provided to the second vehicle in response to the second vehicle determined to not be in the second queue. The one or more processors can cause a third party server to perform one or more operations using data of an entity profile associated with the second vehicle, in response to the validation. The one or more operations can include at least one of a point of sale transaction implemented using the-7-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) third party system or an update to a log associated with at least one of the entity profile or a vehicle profile of the second vehicle. The one or more processors can identify, based on one or more images captured by one or more cameras of a facility comprising the car wash tunnel system, a feature of the second vehicle and activate the subset of the components of the car wash system for providing a service to the second vehicle based on the vehicle feature. At least one of the first instruction or the second instruction can include an enter queue command provided over a serial connection. The polling the controller can include emulating a keypad of the controller to transmit a command for polling using a plurality of requests to refresh the status of the second queue. The polling can be provided responsive to a signal generated in response a selection on a graphical user interface of an operator device.[00191 At least one aspect of the present disclosure is directed to another system. The system can include one or more processors coupled with memory. The one or more processors can provide, based on a first vehicle in a first lane of a plurality of lanes of a facility, to each operator device of a plurality of operator devices executing a mobile application, first data corresponding to the first vehicle to cause the mobile application to present a first data object generated using the first data at a first portion of a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying data of vehicles at the first lane, the first data object comprising a first image of the first vehicle and a first license plate information of the first vehicle. The one or more processors can provide, based on a second vehicle in a second lane of the plurality of lanes, to each operator device of the plurality of operator devices, second data corresponding to the second vehicle to cause the mobile application to present a second data object generated using the second data at a second portion of the GUI for displaying data of vehicles at the second lane, wherein the second data object is presented concurrently with the first data object, the second data object comprising a second image of the second vehicle and a second license plate information of the second vehicle. The one or more processors can transmit, responsive to determining that the first vehicle is not in the first lane, to each operator device of the plurality of operator devices, an instruction to cause the mobile application to cease the presentation of the first data object at the first portion of the GUI. The one or more processors can determine, subsequent to the transmission of the instruction, that a third vehicle of the plurality of vehicles is in the first lane and transmit, based on the third vehicle in the first lane, to each operator device of the plurality of operator devices, third data corresponding to the third vehicle to cause the mobile application to present at the first portion of the GUI a third-8-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) data object generated using the third data, the third data object comprising a third image of the third vehicle and a third license plate information of the third vehicle.

[0020] In some implementations, at least one of the first data, the second data or the third data include at least one of: a status of a lane, entity data associated with an entity profile, or vehicle data associated with a vehicle profile linked to the entity profile entity profile. At least one of the first data object, the second data object, or the third data object generated using the at least one of the first data, the second data or the third data is color coded based on a status of an operation associated with a third party server. The one or more processors can transmit, responsive to determining that the first vehicle is not in the first lane, to each operator device of the plurality of operator devices, a placeholder data to cause the mobile application to present at the first portion of the GUI a placeholder data object generated using the placeholder data, the placeholder data object comprising an indication that the first lane is empty. The placeholder data can be transmitted to each operator device of the plurality of operator devices in response to ceasing the presentation of the first data object at the first portion of the GUI. The one or more processors can extract information from one or more images of the first vehicle in the first lane and identify, using a data structure, information associated with an entity profile associated with the first vehicle. The one or more processors can select the first data based on the information associated with the entity profile and generate a data package comprising the first data for transmission to each operator device of the plurality of operator devices.[00211 In some implementations, the data package includes one or more instructions to cause each of the plurality of operator devices to generate the first data object by placing the information associated with the entity profile into one or more sub-portions of the first portion. The first data can include an identifier for the first portion of the GUI. The one or more processors can extract, from a database, one or more field value pairs including at least one of: a license plate and a series of characters of the license plate of the first vehicle, a vehicle type and a make and model information of the first vehicle, a vehicle color information and an name of a color of the first vehicle and construct the first data using the extracted one or more field value pairs. The one or more processors can extract, from an entity profile associated with a driver of the second vehicle, data about the driver and generate, based on the information about the driver, a note for display in the second portion of the GUI. The one or more processors can identify an issue associated with the second vehicle, the issue-9-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) corresponding to at least one of a point of sale operation or a selection of service to provide at the facility and transmit, responsive to the identifying of the issue, fourth data corresponding to the second vehicle to cause the mobile application to present at the second portion of the GUI a fourth data object generated using the fourth data, the fourth data object including a request to assist with the issue associated with the second vehicle.[00221 In some implementations, the one or more processors can receive, from a first operator device of the plurality of operator devices, a response to the request to assist and transmit, responsive to the response to the indication, fifth data to cause the mobile application to present, at the second portion of the GUI of at least a subset of the plurality of operator devices that excludes the first operator device, a fifth data object generated using the fifth data, the fifth data object including an indication that the issue associated with the second vehicle in being addressed. The one or more processors can transmit, responsive to the response to the indication, sixth data to cause the mobile application of the first operator device to present a sixth data object generated using the sixth data, the sixth data object including one or more windows to address the issue associated with the second vehicle. The one or more processors can receive, from the first operator device subsequent to the response to the request, an updated response to the request to assist and transmit, responsive to the updated response, sixth data to cause the mobile application to present, at the second portion of the GUI of at least the subset of the plurality of operator devices, a sixth data object generated using the sixth data, the sixth data object comprising an indication that the issue associated with the second vehicle is addressed. The one or more processors can transmit, responsive to an indication that the issue associated with the second vehicle is addressed, to a controller for a gate of the second lane, an instruction to actuate the gate. The one or more processors can identify a queue of one or more vehicles for entering a tunnel of the facility and include, following the instruction to actuate the gate, into the queue of vehicles, an entry corresponding to the second vehicle. The one or more processors can transmit, responsive to determining that the second vehicle is not in the second lane, request for information of a next vehicle in the second lane. The one or more processors can identify, responsive to the first data, information associated with a car wash service to provide to the first vehicle in a tunnel of the facility.[00231 Technical solutions described herein are directed to systems and methods for automating vehicle service facility operations using advanced image recognition and-10-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) customized service delivery. Automated vehicle service facilities, such as car wash facilities, can experience technical challenges while adjusting control of system actuation components to different vehicle configurations. Inaccurate or incorrect deployment of actuation components during automated car wash services may result in damage to the vehicle or compromised safety to the personnel. For instance, when providing car wash services to differently shaped vehicles, such as a sedan, a truck or vehicles with customized components, employing actuation components in the same way may inadvertently damage some of the vehicle components. For a vehicle with a protruding component installed on a roof of the vehicle, overhead actuation components configured to clean a roof of the vehicle may collide with the roof or the component. This can both impact the user experience and introduce various operational challenges, including difficulties in automating service, hinder the facility safety, lead to vehicle damage, and trigger a waste in system resources and energy to perform the services.10024] To overcome such challenges, the technical solutions of this disclosure utilize at least one image capture and recognition system to provide reliable license plate and vehicle feature identification, automating selective deployment of actuation components for car wash services. The technical solutions can provide rapid license plate reading and identify a type of car wash to provide to the vehicle based on the license plate information. The technical solutions can identify the vehicle entering a car wash system, and selectively deploy components of the car wash system based on identified features of the vehicle and the type of car wash. The identification of a type of service and features of the vehicle allow for accurate and automated provision of services to vehicles while mitigating any damage to features of the vehicle by the components of the car wash system. In doing so, the technical solutions allow for improved automation and a reduction in operational error, resulting in resource and energy saving and an overall improved customer satisfaction.[00251 At least one aspect of the technical solutions is directed to a system.

The one or more second images can include the license plate of the vehicle and the one or more processors can be configured to determine the identity of the vehicle based on extracted license plate information from the one or more second images. The one or more vehicle features can include at least one of: a physical object attached to the vehicle or a characteristic of the vehicle, wherein the characteristic of the vehicle comprises at least one of: a color of vehicle, a shape of the vehicle, a size of the vehicle, or a vehicle dimension.10027] In some implementations, the one or more car wash actuation components can include a component to control application of one or more fluids onto the vehicle during the car wash routine. The one or more car wash actuation components can include a component to control application of physical contact of a material onto a surface of the vehicle during the car wash routine.

The one or more processors can identify at least one of a make or a model of the vehicle and provide, to the car wash controller, an instruction to selectively control deployment of a car wash actuation component of the one or more car wash actuation components, based on at least one of the make or the model.

[0028] In some implementations, the one or more processors can identify, based on the one or more first images or the one or more second images, a difference between a body of the vehicle and a representation of the body of the vehicle stored in a vehicle profile of the vehicle. The one or more processors can determine that the difference satisfies a threshold for a significant difference and generate a notification to display on a device to indicate that the body of the vehicle differs from the stored representation of the body of the vehicle profile. The notification can include an alert to indicate that the vehicle had sustained damage since a prior update to the vehicle profile. The one or more processors can update the representation of the body of the vehicle in the vehicle profile responsive to the difference satisfying the threshold.

[0029] Another aspect of the technical solution is directed towards a method.

[0049] For purposes of reading the description of the various implementations below, the following descriptions of the sections of the specification and their respective contents may be helpful:Section A describes an overview of a service facility and its computing environment.Section B describes systems and methods for automated vehicle recognition at service facilities.Section C describes systems and methods for automated car wash facility throughput control.-16-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)Section D describes systems and methods for automated control of actuation components and resources in car wash facilities.

[0050] Vehicle service facilities, particularly automated car wash facilities, can face numerous technical challenges in maintaining energy and time efficient and error-free operations. These challenges can include reliably identifying vehicles with pre-paid services when license plates are deformed (e.g., bent), stained, or obscured, leading to license plate misidentification that trigger service disruptions and waste of system energy and resources. Additionally, facilities can struggle with automatically controlling vehicle traffic flow based on vehicle types, queues, and traffic conditions, which can result in inefficient use of resources, longer wait times and waste of resources and energy. Automating service customization based on prior data or vehicle characteristics as well as implementing effective mobile device features for facility operators can be challenging to implement, yet beneficial to such facilities. These technical hurdles can impede the operation of automated vehicle service facilities and can cause reduced energy efficiency, increased errors, and diminished customer satisfaction.

[0051] To address these challenges, the technical solutions of this disclosure provide an automated platform that improves the reliability of operations of the facility at improved energy efficiency and customer satisfaction. The solutions can utilize image capture and recognition technology, which can include character image recognition or machine learning to accurately identify license plates even in challenging conditions. This improved recognition capability can reduce instances of vehicle misidentification, thus reducing down times and unnecessary gate actuation, thereby improving efficiency and conserving energy and other resources. The technical solutions can load balance and optimize vehicle flow based on traffic monitoring, reducing idle time and energy consumption of the vehicles waiting for their services. Furthermore, the technical solutions can automate service customization to identified vehicles facilitating allocation of exact resources to each individual vehicle, preventing wasteful overuse of water, soap, and electricity. The technical solutions can provide a mobile device application with features that can allow operators to improve their ability to monitor and control facility operations remotely, reducing the need for constant onsite presence and associated resource inefficiencies. As a result, the technical solutions allow for operating of a more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective vehicle service facility, than was the case with vehicle service systems.-17-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[00521 Vehicle service facilities, particularly automated car wash facilities, can face numerous technical challenges in maintaining energy and time efficient and error-free operations. These challenges can include discrepancies arising between different system queues when employing different systems that maintain own queue of vehicles in the car wash facility. For example, a system to control the car wash may only maintain a single vehicle queue, making it a challenge to automate operation of the car wash and leading to potential service disruptions. In such configuration, a manual indication may be needed to add and send vehicles in the single vehicle queue, precluding automated and customized car wash services and limiting the capacity of an operator of the car wash facility, which can result in inefficient use of resources and longer wait times. These technical hurdles can impede the operation of automated vehicle service facilities and can cause reduced energy efficiency, increased errors, and diminished customer satisfaction.

[0053] To address these challenges, the technical solutions of this disclosure provide an automated platform that improves the reliability of operations of the facility at improved energy efficiency and customer satisfaction. The solutions can utilize polling technology to accurately determine a status of the car wash tunnel system controller queue, and update the queue based on the status to maintain a consistent, steady flow of vehicles into the car wash tunnel system without delays. The polling technology can both determine the status, and transmit instructions to add information regarding the next vehicle in queue to the single vehicle queue of the car wash tunnel system. The automated polling and status determination can reduce service disruptions, reduce down times, and allow the operator (e.g., of the facility) to be mobile, thereby improving efficiency, conserving energy, and providing opportunities for further facility enhancement by at least the operator. As a result, the technical solutions allow for operating of a more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, cost-effective vehicle service facility, and an improved customer satisfaction, than was the case with vehicles service systems.

[0054] Furthermore, the technical solutions can address the challenges of inefficient and uninformative GUI layouts for real-time status updates and communication to facility operators on issues involving vehicles at different lanes of the facility. The technical solutions can provide a GUI system to generate data objects including notifications, vehicle information, alerts, and services being provided to each vehicle in the service facility, thereby enabling more resource and energy efficient services. The GUI system can generate the data-18-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) objects to indicate a location of the vehicle at the facility and a position of the vehicle in the queue such that, responsive to a vehicle needing assistance, at least one operator can easily identify the vehicle and provide assistance. The technical solutions can provide a mobile device application to display such data objects that can allow operators to improve their ability to monitor and control facility operations remotely, reducing the need for constant on-site presence and associated resource inefficiencies. For example, the location, status, image, and vehicle information can be displayed on the mobile device application, thereby facilitating operation and increasing a capability of the service facility to provide customized service to each vehicle. As a result, the technical solutions allow for operating of a more energyefficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective vehicle service facility while also improving customer satisfaction than was the case with vehicles service systems.

[0055] Vehicle service facilities, particularly automated car wash facilities, can face technical challenges in maintaining energy and time-efficient and error-free operations. These challenges can include accurately identifying features of vehicles with preset car wash service types, leading to misidentification of the vehicles, incorrect provision of services to the vehicles, and potential damage done to the vehicles by automated car wash equipment. For example, a system to provide car wash services may provide a preset services to vehicles, making it a challenge to automate customized car wash operation of the car wash to accommodate different vehicles. In such instances, service interruptions may rely on manual identification of each vehicle and adjustment to car wash services based on the vehicle configuration to select actuation components in order to avoid collisions or damage, introducing inefficient use of energy and resources and increased wait times. These technical hurdles can impede operation of automated vehicle service facilities, and reduced system resource and energy efficiency, resulting in increased errors and service interruptions and reduced customer satisfaction.[O056| To address these challenges, the technical solutions of this disclosure provide an automated platform that improves the reliability and accuracy of operations of the facility for reduced errors and improved customer satisfaction. The solutions can utilize image capture and recognition technology, which can include character image recognition and machine learning, to accurately identify license plate numbers to identify vehicle data and features associated with the respective vehicle. The vehicle data can include a type of car wash service to provide to the vehicle. The features can include, for example, roof components of the-19-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) vehicle such as a roof rack. This improved recognition capability and utilization of the recognition can reduce instances of vehicle misidentification, incorrect service provision, and vehicle damage due to actuation components, reducing errors and automating service provisions to the vehicle based on a preset type of car wash service, thereby improving efficiency and conserving resources. Furthermore, the technical solutions can automate service customization to identified vehicles facilitating allocation of exact resources to each individual vehicle, mitigating wasteful overuse of water, soap, and electricity. As a result, the technical solutions can operate the vehicle service facility at an improved energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective service, than was the case prior to use of these technical solutions.A.

Systems and Methods for Rapid License Plate Reading via Character Substitution

[0106] When a vehicle 130 enters a region of interest 135 within a proximity of a gate 160, the technical solutions can utilize a gate camera 120 to capture one or more images or video streams of the vehicle. Once captured, the image data processing system can analyze this visual data to identify a portion of the vehicle 130 that includes identifiers, such as a license plate 132 or a vehicle identification number (VIN). For instance, upon identification of the identifiers, the data processing system 118 can implement a character recognition functionality to identify the characters within a license plate. Sometimes, the vehicle can be muddy, wet, dusty or include scratches, bends or various other obstructions that make it challenging for the to recognize the characters of the license plate. In such instances, the data processing system can mistakenly identify a character “0” as a character “O”, a character “5” as a character “S”, a character “1” as a character “I’, or a character “A” as a character “4”.

[0107] To overcome such challenges, the technical solutions of this disclosure can encode the license plate data to substitute or replace the characters that are prone to misreading by characters for which the likelihood of error or misidentification is reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle identification. In particular, the technical solutions can provide a license plate processor that can identify the characters of a detected license plate data that satisfy a character replacement schema. Based on the character replacement schema, the technical solutions can generate a replacement license plate data in which replacement characters are substituted or inserted instead of the characters triggering or satisfying the character replacement schema (e.g., characters that can be confused with other characters and should be replaced into a uniform format). The replacement license plate data can then be stored and used for more reliably recognizing the vehicle based on the images of the license plate when the license plate or the vehicle is subjected to non-ideal conditions or weather elements.

[0108] FIG. 4 illustrates an example system 400 for implementing the technical solutions of the facility system 100. The example system 400 can include a computing environment for a system to implement automated vehicle license plate recognition for use at service facilities,-40-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) such as a car wash facility. The example system 400 include one or more data processing systems 118, which can be integrated using any combination of one or more instances of the system 200 of FIG. 2 or the system 300 of FIG. 3, in the context of a facility 100 of FIG. 1. The data processing systems 118 can include one or more of the ML Models 222 to perform operations of the data processing system 118, such as vehicle license plate data processing by license plate processor 202 or vehicle identification via camera managers 206.[0109| The data processing system 118 can include one or more license plate processors 202 for capturing and processing Original Character Sequences 424 of vehicle license plates 132. The data processing system 118 can include one or more profile managers 204 which can include one or more databases storing one or more vehicle profiles 402 for one or more vehicles 130. Each vehicle profile 402 can include various vehicle data, such as one or more of license plate data 404 (e.g., license plate information, license plate number), car wash type 406 (e.g., types of car wash services to apply to the vehicle), service settings 408 (e.g., settings for the vehicle services to apply to the vehicle), or various information 412 (e.g., any additional information on the vehicle). The data processing system 118 can include one or more of car wash service managers 208 providing services 410 to the vehicle. The data processing system 118 can include one or more camera managers 206 communicatively coupled to at least the one or more gate cameras 120. The camera manager 206 can capture and determine one or more images 416 (e.g., images of the vehicle 130), one or more vehicle characteristics 418 (e.g., features of the vehicle), and one or more discrepancies (e.g., differences between images and prior captures images of the vehicle). The data processing system 118 can include one or more car wash service managers 208 which can include one or more services 410 (e.g., services provided to the vehicle) to execute. The data processing system 118 can include one or more GUI Managers 212 which can generate one or more prompts 414 (e.g., to be provided for display on a device). The data processing system 118 can include one or more log managers 214 which can store one or more image logs 420 (e.g., storing images provided by the camera manager 206). The data processing system 118 can include one or more license plate data managers 426 using at least one of a character replacement schema 428 and a lookup table 430 to generate one or more replacement character sequences 432 from the Original Character Sequences 424. The license plate data manager 426 can execute queries 434 (e.g., code, questions) to determine a vehicle profile.-41-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[01101 The license plate processor 202 can individually, or in conjunction with a license plate data manager 426, process and determine the original character sequence 424 and identify its corresponding replacement character sequence 432. Original character sequence 424 can be any sequence of characters (e.g., numerical, alphabetical) on a license plate (e.g., license plate 132) of the vehicle 130. The original character sequence 424 can refer to a license plate number on the license plate 132 of the vehicle 130, and can be correlated to the license plate data 404. The license plate processor 202 can receive the images 416 from the camera manager 206 and determine the original character sequence 424 from the images 416. For example, the license plate processor 202 can include at least one ML Model 222 including one or more character recognition models, algorithms, or software, such as optical character recognition (OCR) to determine the original character sequence 424 from the images 416. The license plate processor 202 can input the images 416 into a ML Model 222, and the ML Model 222 can output the original character sequence 424 or provide the corresponding replacement character sequences 432.

[0111] The profile manager 204 can store and provide various vehicle profiles 402. A vehicle profile 402 can include various vehicle data. For example, the vehicle profile 402 can include license plate data 404 of a respective vehicle 130 of the plurality of vehicles 130. The license plate data 404 can include at least one of a license plate number, jurisdiction information (e.g., state, province, country), or registration (e.g., tag, sticker, date) of the vehicle 130.

[0112] Each of the vehicle profiles 402 maintained by the profile manager 204 can include the car wash type 406. For example, the car wash type 406 refers to a type of wash to be performed on the vehicle 130 associated with the vehicle profile 402. The car wash type 406 can be set by at least one of the operator, the driver, or determined based on a type of the vehicle 130 (e.g., car, truck, van, or a motorcycle). For example, the profile manager 204 can select and set the car wash type 406 for the vehicle profile 402 based on the type of the vehicle 130, which can be stored in the vehicle profile 402. The car wash type 406 can include at least one of “Express wash,” “Platinum wash,” “Silver wash,” etc. For example, the car wash type 406 includes multiple levels of car washes including express wash, platinum wash, and silver wash. Each level of the car wash type 406 can include a different type or number of services. For example, the platinum wash can include wheel polish, an underbody rinse, and a wax service while the express service includes a cleansing foam and a rinse.-42-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[01131 Each of the vehicle profiles 402 can include the service setting 408 for each of the vehicles 130. The service setting 408 can include and / or indicate a service 410 to be provided to the vehicle 130. The service 410 can correspond to the car wash type 406. For example, the service setting 408 includes an indication of the service 410 to be provided to the vehicle 130, and the service 410 can include express wash, platinum wash, or silver wash. The service setting 408 can include, for example, a type of soap for the service 410 to use depending on a type of paint or coating of the vehicle 130, which can be indicated in the vehicle profile 402. The service setting 408 can include other parameters related to the service 410, such as a temperature of water, which of the service equipment 110 to use, etc.

[0114] Each of the vehicle profiles 402 can include information 412 associated with each of the vehicles 130. The information 412 can include various additional information of each of the vehicles 130. For example, the information 412 can include, but not limited to, the vehicle 130 type (e.g., car, truck, van, motorcycle) the vehicle 130 model (e.g., manufacturer design), type of wheel on the vehicle 130, number of car washes performed on the vehicle 130, etc. In some implementations, the information 412 includes the car wash type 406, the service setting 408, and / or the service 410. In some implementations, the information 412 includes information related to a driver or owner of the vehicle 130, such as name and payment information. The information 412 can indicate a membership to the service facility 100 of the vehicle 130. For example, the vehicles 130 corresponding to the vehicle profiles 402 can have prepaid for a certain amount of services from the service facility 100.[0115| The camera manager 206 can capture and store various images 416. The camera manager 206 is communicatively coupled to an image capture device (e.g., gate cameras 120), and can capture one or more images 416 of at least a portion of a vehicle 130 positioned within a region of interest (e.g., regions of interest 135) of a service facility (e.g., service facility 100). The camera manager 206 can monitor the region of interest 135, and transmit instructions to the image capture devices to capture the images 416 of the vehicle 130. The camera manager 206 can then receive and store the images 416. For example, the camera manager 206 includes a database (e.g., log) in which the images 416 are stored. In other implementations, the camera manager 206 provides the images 416 to the log manager 214 to store in the image log 420.

[0116] Based on the images 416, the camera manager 206 can identify a vehicle characteristic 418 (e.g., characteristic of a vehicle 130). The camera manager 206 can include the ML-43-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)Models 222 to determine the vehicle characteristic 418. For example, the ML Model 222 can be an image recognition model configured or trained to recognize vehicles from images 416. For instance, the camera manager 206 can input the images 416 into the ML Model 222, and the ML Model 222 can output the vehicle characteristic 418. The vehicle characteristic 418 can include features of the vehicle 130. For example, the vehicle characteristic 418 can include, but not limited to, a width, length, height of the vehicle 130 as well as features, such as whether the vehicle 130 includes a trunk bed, a rack on the roof, etc. The vehicle characteristic 418 can include a color of the vehicle 130, such as black, white, gray, etc. To identify the vehicle characteristic 418, the camera manager 206 can include or utilize at least one ML Model 222 (e.g., an image recognition model, algorithm, or software) trained to recognize vehicle characteristics. For example, the camera manager 206 can include at least one machine learning model to receive the images 416 as an input, and provide as output, one or more the vehicle characteristic 418 to identify or track the vehicle.|0117] The license plate data manager 426 can process license plate data, including the sequences of characters of license plates to identify or recognize a vehicle. For example, the license plate data manager 426 can receive and process character sequences of a license plate, and can encode, substitute or replace characters of the character sequence which can be prone to misreading or error. To do so, the license plate data manager 426 includes a character replacement schema 428 (e.g., rules, guidelines for substitution of characters prone to misreading or misidentification). The character replacement schema 428 can indicate to the license plate data manager 426 which characters of a character sequence to replace and which to keep (e.g., maintain).

[0118] Following identification of the original character sequence 424, the license plate processor 202 can provide the original character sequence 424 to the license plate data manager 426. The license plate data manager 426 can determine one or more characters of the original character sequence 424 that satisfy the character replacement schema 428. The license plate data manager 426 can include a lookup table 430 that maps original characters of the license plates with replacement characters of a replacement schema 428. For instance, the character replacement schema 428 can utilize a lookup table 430 that relates each of the characters to be substituted or replaced with their corresponding replacement characters. The lookup table 430 can include a selection of characters of various license plates 132 that correspond to or relate to their corresponding replacement characters. For example, the-44-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) lookup table 430 relates the one or more characters of the original character sequence 424 with one or more corresponding replacement characters that can be used as substitution for the original characters of the license plate. The one or more characters and one or more corresponding replacement characters can be referred to as one or more representative character pairs that can be mapped in the lookup table 430. For instance, the one or more representative character pairs can relate at least one of a character “1” and (e.g., with) a character “I”, a character “2” and a character “Z”, a character “5” and a character “S”, a character “0” and a character “O”, or a character “A” and a character “4.” In some embodiments, the vehicle profile can store both the vehicle license plate data with the replacement characters and the vehicle license plate data using the original characters (e.g., prior to their replacement).

[0119] Using the lookup table 430, the license plate data manager 426 can determine whether one or more characters of the license plate satisfy a character replacement schema (e.g., include one or more original characters that correspond to one or more replacement characters). For instance, the license plate data manager 426 can check whether any of the characters of the license plate have a corresponding replacement character. The license plate data manager 426 can map the one or more characters of the original character sequence 424 with the one or more of the corresponding replacement characters. The characters of the license plate that satisfy a character replacement schema can have one or more corresponding replacement characters in the lookup table 430 for replacing the one or more characters of the original character sequence 424. The license plate data manager 426 can identify, match, or select, based on the mapping, the one or more replacement characters that correspond to the characters of the original character sequence 424 satisfying the replacement schema. For example, the license plate data manager 426 can determine that an original character sequence 424 of a license plate includes a character “2” and a character “0” that satisfy the character replacement schema (e.g., correspond to replacement characters). Responsive to determining that the original character sequence 424 includes characters with corresponding replacement characters (e.g., characters included in the lookup table 430), the license plate data manager 426 determines that the one or more characters of the original character sequence 424 satisfies the character replacement schema 428.[0120| Upon determining that the one or more characters of the original character sequence 424 satisfy the character replacement schema 428, the license plate data manager 426-45-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) generates a replacement character sequence 432 (e.g., second sequence of characters). The license plate data manager 426 generates the replacement character sequence 432 by replacing the one or more characters of the original character sequence 424 that satisfy the character replacement schema 428 with the one or more corresponding replacement characters based at least partially on the lookup table 430. For example, the license plate data manager 426 can select the one or more representative character pairs corresponding to the one or more characters of the original character sequence 424 using the lookup table 430.

[0121] For example, the license plate data manager 426 can process, encode, substitute or replace characters using the ML Model 222. The license plate data manager 426 can input the original character sequence 424, and the ML Model 222 can generate the replacement character sequence 432. The ML Model 222 can be trained to use, for example, the character replacement schema 428 to generate the replacement character sequence 432 based on the original character sequence 424 used as input, or based on images of the license plate used as input (e.g., implementing optical character recognition in the process).|0 22] After selecting the representative character pairs, the license plate data manager 426 generates the replacement character sequence 432. The license plate data manager 426 uses the representative character pairs to replace characters of the original character sequence 424 with replacement characters. For example, responsive to determining that the original character sequence 424 includes a “5” and an “A,” the license plate data manager 426 selects the representative character pairs “5” and “S” and “A” and “4.” The license plate data manager 426 then generates the replacement character sequence 432 by replacing “5” with “S” and “A” and “4” in the original character sequence 424. The replacement character sequence 432 is thus the original character sequence 424 with one or more replaced characters according to the character replacement schema 428.

[0123] The license plate data manager 426 can include a query 434 (e.g., question, instruction). The license plate data manager 426 can execute the query 434 using the replacement character sequence 432 and identify, from the vehicle profiles 402 maintained in the profile manager 204, a vehicle profile 402 of the vehicle 130 positioned within the region of interest 135. For example, the query 434 includes the replacement character sequence 432, and the license plate data manager 426 executes the query 434 by transmitting the query 434 to the profile manager 204. The license plate data manager 426 can then identify the vehicle profile 402 of the vehicle 130 positioned within the region of interest 135 by at least one of-46-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) receiving the vehicle profiles 402 from the profile manager 204 or the profile manager 204 can use the query 434 to identify the vehicle profile 402 associated with the vehicle 130 in the region of interest 135. At least one of the profile manager 204 or the license plate data manager 426 can use the lookup table of the character replacement schema 428 to match (e.g., correspond) the replacement character sequence 432 to the encoded license plate sequence in the respective vehicle profile 402. For instance, a vehicle profile 402 can be identified or accessed based at least partially on a match between the replacement characters and the license plate data 404 stored in the vehicle profile 402. At least one of the profile manager 204 or the license plate data manager 426 can compare the license plate data 404 stored in the vehicle profiles 402 to the replacement character sequence 432 to identify or authenticate a vehicle profile 402 of a vehicle 130, responsive to the query 434.

[0124] The license plate data manager 426 can utilize character replacement schema 428 to detect a change of a vehicle license plate 132 on a vehicle 130. For example, a license plate data manager 426 can apply a character replacement schema 428 and information stored in vehicle profiles 402 (e.g., vehicle make, model, color or images) to identify, detect or determine that a vehicle 130 has changed a license plate 132. For instance, the license plate data manager 426 can utilize an image of a vehicle license plate from an image log 420 to identify a string of characters on the license plate. Using one or more rules of the character replacement schema 428, the license plate data manager 426 can determine (e.g., via a look up table 430) that one or more of the characters from the image have one or more corresponding replacement characters. The license plate data manager 426 can, in response to this determination, generate a replacement character sequence 432 replacing those characters that are subject to the character replacement schema 428. The license plate data manager 426 can then utilize the replacement character sequence 432 to identify or select a vehicle profile 402 corresponding to the license plate data 404 storing the matching replacement character sequence 432.

[0125] To detect the change of the vehicle license plate, the profile manager 204 can utilize information 412 from the vehicle profile 402 that is identified or selected using the replacement character sequence 432. For instance, using a current image of the vehicle, the data processing system 118 can extract characteristics of the vehicle, such as the vehicle make and model, type of vehicle (e.g., sedan, sport utility vehicle or a truck) or a color of the vehicle-47-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) to make a comparison between the vehicle having the replacement character sequence 432 and the characteristics of that vehicle stored in the vehicle profile 402.

[0126] For instance, the profile manager 204 and the license plate data manager 426 can determine that the replacement character sequence 432, while matching the license plate data 404, does not match one or more information 412 on the vehicle. For instance, the replacement character sequence 432 can match the license plate data 404 (e.g., storing the same replacement character sequence), but the information 412 may be not matching the characteristics of the vehicle from the image captured. For instance, the image of the vehicle with the replacement character sequence 432 may have a different color, a different make or model type, or a different configuration than the vehicle described in the information 412 of the vehicle profile 204. In response to the vehicle having the license plate with a matching replacement character sequence 432 having characteristics (e.g., color, type, make and mode) that do not match the characteristics of the vehicle in the information 412, the profile manager 204 or the license plate data manager 426 can determine that the license plate was swapped or replaced onto a different vehicle.

[0127] The license plate data manager 426 can utilize the replacement characteristic sequence 432 to identify or validate the vehicle entering the facility 100. For instance, the license plate data manager 426 can utilize the character replacement schema 428 and the corresponding replacement characters to identify the vehicles 130 and identify or select their vehicle profiles 402. Upon generating a replacement character sequence 432, the license plate data manager 426 can send the replacement character sequence 432 to the profile manager 204 to identify a vehicle profile 402 having a matching replacement character sequence 432 in the license plate data 404. In response to identifying the match between the replacement character sequence 432 and the license plate data 404, the profile manager 204 can validate the vehicle 130 and provide any requested access to the vehicle profile 402 (e.g., to access the car wash type 406, service setting 408 or information 412). In some instances, in response to validating the identity of the vehicle, the profile manager 204 can prepopulate the service settings 408, such as by selecting the most desired service for the vehicle, the most commonly selected service for the vehicle or the most recently selected service that the vehicle user had selected during a preceding visit. Prepopulating the vehicle service order can include selecting specific service settings 408 for the system to provide a desired type of car wash, type of soap or selection of shine to the vehicle.-48-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[0128| The license plate data manager 426 can match the replacement character sequences 432 of the license plates with the vehicle characteristics (e.g., color, vehicle type and make and model) of the vehicle profile 402 to validate vehicles entering the facility. For example, the license plate data manager 426 and the profile manager 204 can compare the replacement character sequence 432 with the license plate data 404 to identify a match. The camera manager 206 can also utilize machine learning to identify vehicle characteristics which the data processing system can compare with the characteristics of the vehicle stored in the profile manager 204. Upon determining that the vehicle characteristics determined from the current image match those stored in the vehicle profile 402 and also determining that the replacement character sequence 432 matches the stored license plate data 404, the data processing system 118 can validate or confirm that the vehicle 130 is the vehicle of the vehicle profile 402. Responsive to the validation, the system can apply specific actions, such as prepopulating the car wash type 406 or automating the service settings 408 for the prepopulated car wash type.|0129] In some implementations, instead of, or in conjunction with, generating the replacement character sequence 432, the license plate data manager 426 can utilize information stored in the vehicle profile 402 to detect or identify a vehicle 130 (e.g., within the region of interest 135). For example, the license plate data manager 426 can receive the original character sequence 424 from the license plate processor 202, and compare the original character sequence 424 to the license plate data 404 stored in the vehicle profiles 402. Upon determining that the original character sequence 424 is different from each license plate number (e.g., license plate character sequence) in the license plate data 404, the license plate data manager 426 can shorten the original character sequence 424. For example, a last character in the original character sequence 424 can be removed such that a length of the original character sequence 424 is adjusted from 6 characters to 5 characters. The license plate data manager 426 can compare the shortened original character sequence 424 with the license plate data 404. The license plate data manager 426 can include and utilize a character sequence length threshold. The character sequence length threshold can indicate a minimum length of the shortened original character sequence 424, such as 4. For example, if the license plate data manager 426 shortens the shortened original character sequence 424 to 4 and the shortened original character sequence 424 remains different from the license plate data 404, the license plate data manager 426 compares the original character sequence 424 to the character replacement schema 428 to identify the vehicle 130.-49-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[0130| In some implementations, the original character sequence 424 matches the license plate number in one vehicle profile 402. In such cases, the license plate data manager 426 can determine that the one vehicle profile 402 corresponds to the vehicle 130. For instance, license plate recognition system can utilize a positional search methodology. This can include configuring a positional search with a minimum starting sequence, such as four characters, to improve the accuracy of license plate matches. In some situations, license plates can be obscured or difficult to read, due to dirt, glare, obstructions or other challenges. In such scenarios, when a camera scans a plate, the camera manager can incorrectly output a license plate string of characters, such as for example "ABC 123." The system can first check the database for an exact match of all six characters against various license plate entries in the system. If no exact match is found, the system can perform positional searches by progressively reducing the number of characters from the string considered. For instance, the system can remove one of the six license plate characters to repeat the search with five of the six string characters, such as by starting with "ABC12" to see if there is a match. In the event that no matches are identified, the system can reduce another characters and continue with “BC12” and so on. This reduction of characters can allow the system to identify potential matches even when the exact plate number is not available, thereby increasing the recognition and decreasing the chance of false negatives.

[0131] The positional searching can incorporate utilization, processing and evaluation of metadata to further refine the search results and improve the reliability of the recognitions. Metadata utilized can include, for example, plate region, vehicle color, make, model, and type, each of which can be considered during the search process and determining of the vehicle identity. For example, if the initial search for "ABC 123" returns no results, the system can perform a positional search for "ABC12," which may yield multiple results. These results can be further filtered based on vehicle characteristics, such as the vehicle color, body style or other features, allowing the system to identify the vehicle based on the metadata. In some instances, the system can rank the multiple matching results based on the metadata matches to which weights are applied. The system can apply a higher weight given to matches in the plate region, followed by matches based on the vehicle color, make, and type. This ranking technique can allow for the most relevant matches to be prioritized, improving the overall accuracy and reliability of the license plate recognition system.-50-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[0132| For example, a camera can scan a plate with the value "ABC123" in the region VA, and the vehicle can be a white Chevrolet Silverado pickup. The system can perform a search for license plate data using the initial search for "ABC 123 ", resulting in no results. In response to receiving no results, the data processing system can then proceed to implement a positional search using a portion of the license plate (e.g., subset of the characters) as the input. In such a step, the data processing system can determine that for "ABC 12" there may be several matches, including "ABC12E", "ABC125", and "ABC122” of the same state or country. The data processing system can then have each of these matches ranked based on the metadata corresponding to the vehicle data of each of these license plates. For instance, "ABC12E" can receive the highest score due to matching the region (e.g., state), make, color, and vehicle type, thereby being identified as the most likely result. This refined search process can improve the system's ability to accurately recognize license plates, even in cases where the exact plate number is not available. In another example, upon determining that the shortened original character sequence 424 is the same as at least one license plate number in the license plate data 404, the license plate data manager 426 receives the vehicle characteristic 418 from the camera manager 206 based on the images 416. The vehicle characteristic 418 can include at least one of a region of the license plate 132 (e.g., state), color, make, model, or type (e.g., metadata) of the vehicle 130. Once received, the license plate data manager 426 can compare the vehicle characteristic 418 to at least one of the license plate data 404 and the information 412 stored in the vehicle profiles 402. For example, the license plate data manager 426 compares the region of the license plate 132 of the vehicle 130 in the images 416 to regions in the license plate data 404 to identify the vehicle profile 402 associated with the vehicle 130. The license plate data manager 426 compares the vehicle characteristic 418 to data stored in the vehicle profiles 402 with the vehicle profiles 402 matching the shortened original character sequence 424. The license plate data manager 426 can include weights with the vehicle characteristic 418 for comparing the vehicle 130 to the vehicle profiles 402. For example, a weight of the region of the license plate 132 can be higher than a weight of the color, make, model, or type. The license plate data manager 426 identifies a match percentage between the vehicle characteristic 418 and the vehicle profiles 402, and determines the vehicle profile 402 corresponding to the vehicle 130 based on a highest match percentage. For example, the license plate data manager 426 determines a difference between each of the region, make, model, color, and type of the vehicle 130 with the region, make, model, color, and type of vehicle stored in each of the vehicle profiles 402, weighs the differences, and-51-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) determines the match percentage for each of the vehicle profiles 402 with the vehicle 130 based on the weighted difference.

[0133] Following identification of the vehicle profile 402, the license plate data manager 426 can transmit (e.g., the operator device 150, the admin device 162) data to a device included in the vehicle profile 402 based on (e.g., in response to) identifying the vehicle profile 402. The data included in the vehicle profile 402 can include at least one of the license plate data 404, the car wash type 406, the service setting 408, the service 410, or the information 412. The data can be displayed on the device. For example, the license plate data manager 426 can transmit the data for presentation at the device. The device can be at least one of the operator device 150, the administrator device 162, or a point of sale device (e.g., cash register) of the third party server 190. For example, the operator device 150 can display the car wash type 406. In some implementations, the license plate data manager 426 provides the data to the GUI Manager 212 for display on at least one of the operator device 150, the administrator device 162, or the point of sale device of the third party server 190.10134 J The license plate data manager 426 transmitting the data to the device can include transmitting, to the car wash service manager 208, instructions to cause the car wash tunnel system 105 (e.g., the car wash) to provide the car wash type 406 corresponding to the vehicle profile 402 to the respective vehicle 130. The instructions can include the car wash type 406, and can be stored in the vehicle profiles 402. Responsive to identifying the vehicle 130, at least one of the profile manager 204 can determine the car wash type 406 associated with the vehicle profile 402 of the vehicle 130 in the region of interest 135, and instruct the car wash service manager 208 to provide the vehicle 130 with the car wash type 406. In some implementations, the profile manager 204 includes the ML Model 222 to determine the car wash type 406 based on, for example, the replacement character sequence 432 or one or more images of the vehicle 130 or the vehicle license plate 132. The car wash service manager 208 can store services 410. Each of the services 410 can correspond to at least one car wash type 406. For example, the car wash service manager 208 can receive the car wash type 406, determine the service 410 correlating to the car wash type 406, and transmit instructions to the car wash controller 104 to implement the service 410 for the vehicle 130. In some implementations, the profile manager 204 determines the service setting 408 and provides the service setting 408 to the car wash service manager 208. Based on the service setting 408, the-52-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) car wash service manager 208 can determine and transmit the service 410 to the car wash controller 104.

[0135] In some implementations, the GUI Manager 212 generates the prompt 414 corresponding to the service 410. The prompt 414 can include an indication of the service 410 to be provided to the vehicle 130. In some implementations, the GUI Manager 212 receives an update to the service 410 to be provided. The update can include an adjustment to the service setting 408 or the service 410, and can be provided by a driver or an operator. The GUI Manager 212 can provide the update to the profile manager 204. The profile manager 204 can then store the update (e.g., updated service) in the vehicle profile 402 as the service setting 408. For example, the update includes an additional add-on service such as a tire shine, and the profile manager 204 includes the update in the service setting 408.

[0136] In some implementations, the profile manager 204 includes and tracks a discrepancy counter associated with each of the vehicle profiles 402. For example, after detecting the discrepancy 422, the camera manager 206 adds to the discrepancy counter maintained in the profile manager 204. The discrepancy counter can represent a number of times that the discrepancy 422 was detected for the license plate data 404 (e.g., license plate 132) associated with the vehicle profile 402. The profile manager 204 can maintain the discrepancy counter and compare a value of the discrepancy counter to a discrepancy threshold. Responsive to the value being below the discrepancy threshold, the profile manager 204 continues to maintain the discrepancy counter. Responsive to the value being at or above the discrepancy threshold, the profile manager 204 can generate an alert for at least one of the operator device 150 or the admin device 162. The profile manager 204 can then mark (e.g., flag) the vehicle profile 402 associated with the value of the discrepancy counter being at or above the discrepancy threshold. Once marked, responsive to the profile manager 204 identifying the vehicle profile 402 based on the replacement character sequence 432 and determining that the vehicle profile 402 is marked, the profile manager 204 can transmit instructions to the data processing system 118 to not allow (e.g., not actuate the gates 160) the vehicle 130 into car wash vehicle queue. The profile manager 204 can generate an alert for at least one of the operator device 150 or the admin device 162 based on determining that the vehicle profile 402 is marked. The alert can indicate that the vehicle 130 in the region of interest 135 has a marked vehicle profile 402.-53-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[0137| In some implementations, the one or more processors can be configured to detect persistent optical character recognition (OCR) misreads of license plate sequences associated with a given vehicle over multiple visits to a service facility. The system can maintain, for each vehicle profile, a misread counter indicative of the number of times a particular variant of the license plate sequence has been detected during license plate image processing. For example, the misread counter can be incremented whenever the OCR output for the vehicle consistently substitutes a character, such as detecting a “5” instead of a “6,” or a “0” instead of an “O,” in the same plate position.|0138] Responsive to the misread counter for a detected variant sequence reaching or exceeding a predetermined threshold value (e.g., three occurrences, or three occurrences within ten visits), the one or more processors can determine that the detected variant sequence is a persistent misread and store the recurring misread sequence as alternate license plate information in association with the vehicle profile. This alternate sequence can be stored in addition to the actual license plate number, and can be indexed in the database as a secondary identifier for query purposes. In some embodiments, the misread sequence can replace the actual license plate number.[01391 During subsequent vehicle detection events, when the OCR output matches the stored alternate sequence, the system can preferentially use the stored alternate sequence in database queries to locate the vehicle profile. This approach can enable faster matching and reduced false negatives in scenarios where the alternate sequence reliably reflects the OCR output given the visual characteristics of the actual license plate, for example, plates using stylized font characters, plates subject to damage, or plates having color contrasts that cause persistent misinterpretation by OCR algorithms.

[0140] In one embodiment, the system comprises maintaining, for a vehicle profile, both an actual license plate number and a stored alternate license plate number determined based on repeated OCR misreads, detecting, using an image capture device and OCR processing, a license plate sequence matching the stored alternate license plate number, and executing, using the stored alternate license plate number, a database query to retrieve the vehicle profile and any associated service settings. In some embodiments, the system can authorize the vehicle based on the misread variant sequence matching the alternate license plate number stored in the database.-54-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[01411 In some implementations, the one or more processors can determine a jurisdiction of issuance for a detected license plate and select, based on the jurisdiction, a character schema indicating the permitted set of characters to include in a license plate query. Jurisdiction determination can be based on OCR recognition of a plate region indicator, state name, province abbreviation, or unique design elements captured in the plate image. In some cases, the jurisdiction information can be retrieved from prior stored vehicle profile data if the vehicle has been previously serviced.

[0142] Certain jurisdictions issue license plates containing special characters, such as “&,” “#,” “$,” “%,” or other non-alphanumeric symbols, in addition to letters and numbers. When the one or more processors determine that a jurisdiction permits such characters, the system can access a stored schema definition specifying whether those special characters should be retained, normalized, or removed in the context of database searching.

[0143] In some embodiments, if the OCR output includes special characters, the one or more processors can filter the OCR output to remove the non-permitted characters before executing a database search. For instance, if a license plate number is “A1B&C4”, the one or more processors may map the license plate query to “A1BC4” skipping the & between the B and C in the actual license plate number. This is because, in such configurations, the matching algorithm for associating recognized license plate numbers with records in the database is configured to operate only on characters permitted by the schema. In other embodiments, the one or more processors can perform a transliteration or mapping operation that replaces recognized symbols with predefined equivalents — for example, replacingwith the letters “AND” — when allowed by the jurisdiction schema.

[0144] This adaptation can improve matching accuracy by ensuring that the query format aligns with the jurisdiction’s plate records, which may not store non-alphanumeric data, or may store it in a normalized textual form. The schema selection and transformation can be performed dynamically at runtime based on the jurisdiction determined for each captured plate image, allowing the same OCR pipeline to service plates from multiple regions with varying rules.

[0145] In one embodiment, the system comprises: determining, from license plate information, a jurisdiction of issuance; selecting a schema of permitted characters based on the jurisdiction; removing or replacing any non-permitted special characters from a-55-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) recognized license plate sequence; and executing a database query for the vehicle profile using the processed license plate sequence.

[0146] Data processing system 118 can include the functionality for utilizing QR codes 166 to allow for vehicle identification, verification, and user selection and customization of vehicle services. For example, upon driving up to a lane 134 or a gate 160 of a facility 100, a user (e.g., a driver) can scan the QR code 166 using their smartphone. The QR code 166 can be positioned at any location at the facility 100, including on, adjacent to, or along a lane 134, a gate 160, entrance to a tunnel 140 or car wash tunnel system 105. Upon scanning, the QR code 166 can direct the smartphone of the user to a webpage where the user can select from a variety of car wash services of the facility 100, including a basic wash, a premium wash, or a special polishing service. The user can also choose to upgrade their service type from a onetime wash to a monthly or annual subscription. The webpage or the application provided via the QR code 166 can allow the user to configure specific preferences associated with the vehicle profile 402 or vehicle data or information 412, such as opting for a tire shine or an underbody wash. Once the user has made their selections, the data processing system 118 can process the request and update the user's profile with the chosen services, ensuring that the car wash tunnel system 105 is prepared to provide the selected services when the vehicle enters the tunnel 140.|0147J In some implementations, the one or more processors can determine an expected license plate format or pattern based on the jurisdiction of issuance. The system can identify the jurisdiction from at least one of: a plate region indicator in the license plate information 801, textual content identifying a geographic area in the license plate image, design elements recognized in the one or more images 416, or jurisdiction data stored in the vehicle profile 402. Each jurisdiction can have a defined template arrangement of characters or graphical features, such as a fixed sequence (e.g., three letters, a hyphen, then four digits, “AAA-1111”), or distinctive shapes, colors, or icons used in that region’s plate design.

[0148] In some implementations, the system can distinguish between non-custom license plates that conform to a jurisdiction’s standard format and custom or vanity plates that do not follow that format. For non-custom plates, the license plate data manager 426 can use the jurisdiction’s predefined character arrangement — for example, three alphabetical characters followed by a hyphen and four numerical characters in a North Carolina plate — to narrow positional searches and increase match weights for candidates conforming to the known-56-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) pattern. This use of a predictable format increases recognition accuracy because each position’s expected character type is known in advance. For custom plates, which may deviate from the standard sequence or include atypical combinations of letters, numbers, or symbols, the system can apply neutral or uniform character weights across positions, avoiding false weighting assumptions based on patterns that do not apply.[01491 Within a single license plate, all characters can include the same font and styling. However, in specific jurisdictions, certain characters can be statistically more likely to be misread during optical character recognition due to the particular design features, spacing, or visual presentation used in that jurisdiction’s plates. The license plate data manager 426 can adjust match weights during positional searches and candidate ranking based on these jurisdiction-specific misread probabilities. Characters with lower misread likelihood for that jurisdiction can be assigned higher match weights, increasing their influence in the final score, while characters with higher misread likelihood receive reduced weights or penalty values to limit their impact. For example, if historical data shows that in a given state the letter “B” is frequently misread as the numeral “8” in OCR output above a defined threshold probability, the system can lower the weight assigned to “B” compared to other letters in that jurisdiction, to improve the accuracy of the recognition of characters.

[0150] In some implementations, the weighting adjustments can be further refined according to the specific positions of characters within the jurisdiction’s expected format. Where historical recognition data indicates higher misread rates for certain character combinations at defined positions, the license plate data manager 426 can modify the match scoring to account for this position-specific behavior. For example, in a jurisdiction whose plate design causes the numeral “8” to be misread as the letter “B” when appearing in the second position, the weighting engine can apply a penalty to mismatches involving these characters at that position, while increasing the score when OCR correctly distinguishes them. Likewise, for a jurisdiction in which the first three positions are alphabetic, those positions can be given greater weight than trailing numeric positions that have lower OCR confidence levels. Similarly, for a jurisdiction in which high contrast color schemes are applied between the background and the characters, certain characters having higher OCR confidence levels may be given a greater weight than other characters having lower OCR confidence levels. These adjustments, which can be implemented as multiplicative or additive factors in the metadata-57-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) ranking step, allow correct recognition of high-weight positions to outweigh errors in low-weight positions, thereby improving match accuracy and reducing false identifications.[01511 Once the jurisdiction is determined, the system can select and apply one or more jurisdiction-specific character replacement schema rules tailored to the visual and structural attributes of that jurisdiction’s plates. The license plate data manager 426 can maintain a plurality of such schemas, each associated with a distinct state, province, or region. A schema can specify expected substitutions for common misreads, positional errors, or graphical element interpretations observed during OCR processing of that jurisdiction’s plates. These rules can address consistent OCR challenges caused by factors such as the jurisdiction’s chosen font style, embossing depth, letter-number spacing, kerning (character spacing adjustments), or decorative design features.[0152| For example, a first jurisdiction may use a serif font where the numeral “1” is frequently mistaken for a capital letter “I,” while another may use a sans-serif font that can cause the numeral “0” to be misinterpreted as the letter “D.” Variations in fill color and background — such as red characters on a white background or black characters on a yellow background — can also influence OCR accuracy, sometimes producing recurring misreads such as “8” being interpreted as “B,” or “S” interpreted as “5.” For each jurisdiction, the license plate data manager 426 can store substitution rules that define the character replacements to be made in specific positions or contexts before matching is performed in the vehicle database. The application of these jurisdiction-specific substitutions at the preprocessing stage further reduces the likelihood of recognition errors.[0153| In some implementations, jurisdiction-specific schemas can also incorporate handling instructions for non-alphanumeric symbols found on specialty or commemorative plates issued in that jurisdiction. These symbols can include icons, logos, stars, dashes, separator graphics, or stylized emblems placed between groups of characters. For example, if a decorative separator appears between the alphabetic and numeric sections of a plate, the schema can direct the OCR pipeline to disregard the separator or replace it with a neutral placeholder character when generating the replacement character sequence 432.

[0154] By applying these jurisdiction-specific rules that encompass both character misread corrections and symbol handling, prior to executing vehicle profile 402 queries, the system can significantly lower misidentification rates, improve search speed, and allow for consistent-58-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) recognition performance for plates featuring distinctive regional design elements. This approach enables more accurate matching even when plate images vary in quality or when captured under challenging environmental conditions, thereby improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the automated vehicle recognition system.

[0155] The QR code 166 can be used in conjunction with a license plate processor 202 to enhance security and personalization of services. For instance, when the user scans the QR code 166, the data processing system 118 can verify the user's identity by matching the data (e.g., identifier) of the smartphone that scanned the QR code with the license plate data captured by the license plate processor 202. The identifier can include, for example, the phone's unique device ID, the user's account information, or a session token generated by the application. This verification process can validate the smartphone with the recognized license plate data to ensure that the services are provided to the correct vehicle and user. For instance, if the license plate processor 202 recognizes the license plate of the vehicle and matches it with the phone identifier, the data processing system 118 can grant access to the user's profile or account, allowing them to manage their services and preferences. This feature can provide an additional layer of security and personalization, ensuring that the services are tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the user.|0156] For example, the feature can be implemented by positioning a QR code 166 next to a gate 160, where a user can scan the QR code 166 with their smartphone. For example, the feature can be implemented by positioning a QR code 166 next to a gate 160, where a user can scan the QR code 166 using their smartphone. The data processing system 118 can then allow the user to continue following the prompts from the link provided via the QR code to authenticate the user. Once authenticated, the smartphone of the user can be assigned an identifier for the smartphone. This identifier can be used to verify the user's identity. For instance, the system can match the phone identifier received via the smartphone using the QR code 166 with the license plate data captured by the license plate processor 202. Upon successful verification, the data processing system 118 can grant access to the user's profile, allowing them to select and configure car wash services, change their service type, and update their preferences. The car wash tunnel system 105 can then be prepared to provide the selected services when the vehicle enters the tunnel, ensuring a personalized and efficient car wash experience.-59-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[0157| Data processing system 118 can be configured to utilize Bluetooth beacons, other wireless beacons, or transponder devices to identify users and vehicles within the facility 100. Car beacons can be installed in vehicles and can transmit a unique identifier (e.g., unique vehicle identifier) that can be detected by the facility's beacon receivers or reader devices. When a vehicle equipped with a car beacon or transponder device enters the facility 100 (e.g., premises or a car wash building), the beacon receiver or reader device can capture the unique identifier and transmit it to the data processing system 118. The data processing system 118 can then match the unique identifier with the vehicle profile 402 or vehicle data 812 stored in the system, allowing for seamless identification and verification of the vehicle. In response to the identification and verification, the system can allow the user to access vehicle data or client account and make changes, such as service configures or service selections for the vehicle. This can allow the system to provide personalized services and streamline the user experience by automatically recognizing the vehicle and its associated preferences.|0158] The transponder devices can include at least one radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag which includes the unique identifier. The reader device can emit radio signals, and the RFID tag can receive the radio signals and return the unique identifier. The reader device can capture the unique identifier and transmit the unique identifier to the data processing system to identify and verify the vehicle. As with other transponder device examples, the RFID tags can be utilized to uniquely identify a user or the vehicle and can be used in combination with other techniques (e.g., license plate recognition or QR code scanning) to validate identification of the user and provide access to user data and service control functionalities.

[0159] For instance, phone beacons, transponders or RFID tags can be used to identify users based on the unique identifier or signal transmitted by their smartphones. For instance, a phone beacon can be any wireless device that transmits a unique identifier from a smartphone, allowing the data processing system 118 to detect and identify the user based on the transmitted identifier. When a user with a phone beacon-enabled smartphone, or an RFID tag, enters the facility, the beacon receiver or reader device can detect the unique identifier and send it to the data processing system 118. The data processing system 118 can match the unique identifier with the user's profile or account information, allowing for personalized service customization and verification. For example, the system can grant access to the user's profile, enabling them to select and configure car wash services, change their service type,-60-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) and update their preferences. This integration of phone beacons can improve security and personalization, providing for services that the users can tailor to their specific needs and preferences.

[0160] For example, the feature can be implemented by installing car beacons or transponder devices in vehicles and configuring the data processing system 118 to detect the unique identifier transmitted by the car beacon or transponder device (e.g., RFID tag) when the vehicle enters the facility. The beacon receiver or reader device can capture the unique identifier and transmit it to the data processing system 118, which can then match the identifier with the vehicle profile 402 or vehicle data 812. Upon successful identification, the data processing system 118 can grant access to the user's profile, allowing them to select and configure car wash services, change their service type, and update their preferences. The car wash tunnel system 105 can then be prepared to provide the selected services when the vehicle enters the tunnel, ensuring a personalized and efficient car wash experience.

[0161] The car beacon or transponder devices (e.g., RFID tags) can be used in conjunction with a license plate processor 202 or QR codes 166 to enhance security and personalization of services. For instance, when a radio signal (e.g., beacon signal) from a car beacon or transponder device indicates or identifies a particular vehicle or a user associated with a vehicle, the data processing system 118 can verify or validate the user's identity by matching the data of the radio signal with a license plate data determined by a license plate processor 202 or a scanned the QR code. The data of the radio or beacon signal can include signal information or code uniquely identifying a vehicle or user of the vehicle, which can be matched with QR code data or license plate data to validate or verify the identification. This verification process can improve the security of the system and ensure that the services are provided to the correct vehicle and user. For instance, if the license plate processor 202 recognizes the license plate of the vehicle and matches it with the beacon signal, the data processing system 118 can grant access to the user's profile or account, allowing them to manage their services and preferences.

[0162] Upon identifying vehicle characteristics 418, the camera manager 206 can compare the vehicle characteristic 418 to one or more characteristics of the vehicle 130 (e.g., vehicle characteristics 418) determined from prior captured images. The log manager 214 can maintain (e.g., include) the image log 420 (e.g., image database) of vehicles 130 which can include one or more prior captured images (e.g., images 416) indexed according to the license-61-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) plate data 404. For example, the prior captured images are categorized and associated with license plate data 404 of each of the vehicle profiles 402. The camera manger 206 can compare the vehicle characteristic 418 using the ML Model 222, and determine, for example, a difference or similarity value between the vehicle characteristic 418 and the characteristics in the prior captured images. The camera manager 206 can extract the prior captured images from the image log 420 to compare the vehicle characteristic 418. In some implementations, the prior captured images are stored in the vehicle profiles 402 as a type of information 412. For example, each of the vehicle profiles 402 can include the image log 420.10163] A log manager 214 can include any number of image logs 420, which can include any collection of images of vehicles captured over time. A log manager 214 can maintain images of each vehicle associated with each of the vehicle profiles 402 that may be captured over time. For instance, a log manager 214 can maintain a log of images of a vehicle 130 associated with a vehicle profile 402 captured during each of the visits of the vehicle to the facility 100. The images of the vehicle from the image log 420 can be stored within or associated with the vehicle profile 402 and can be used for a quick lookup of the vehicle 130. For instance, when a vehicle 130 enters a facility 100, the camera manager 206 can capture a recent image of the vehicle 130, which can be used by the license plate data manager 426 for detecting the license plate (e.g., via character replacement schema 428 and the replacement character sequence 432) and comparing vehicle characteristics 418 from the recent image (e.g., using machine learning) and comparing the recent characteristics with the previously stored characteristics of the vehicle profile 402. The log manager 214 can facilitate quick lookups or verification of the vehicle 130 identity using image logs 420 for comparison of the vehicle data with the data stored in the vehicle profile 402.101 4] Based on the comparison between the vehicle characteristics 418 and of prior captured images of the vehicle 130, the camera manager 206 can determine (e.g., detect) a discrepancy 422 (e.g., difference, error). For example, the camera manager 206 compares the one or more images 416 of the vehicle 130 with the prior captured images of the vehicle 130 to determine the discrepancy 422. As another example, the camera manager 206 can include the ML Model 222 which can receive the images 416 and the prior captured images, and determine the discrepancy 422 as an output. The camera manager 206 can determine the vehicle characteristics 418 for the images 416 and the prior captured images, and then determine a difference between the vehicle characteristics 418 of the images 416 and the prior captured-62-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) images. The camera manager 206 can compare the determined difference to a threshold and responsive to the difference exceeding a threshold, the camera manager 206 can identify, determine or detect the discrepancy 422. In some implementations, the vehicle characteristic 418 is stored in the image log 420, and each of the prior captured images has a respective vehicle characteristic 418. For example, the camera manager 206 determines the vehicle characteristics 418 as the images 416 are received, and stores both the vehicle characteristic 418 and the image 416 into the image log 420. In some embodiments, the vehicle profile of a vehicle can include one or more vehicle characteristics 418, including car brand, car type, car model, year, color, number of doors, and any accessories, add-ons, or modifications to the vehicle 130. The vehicle profile can also store one or more visual deformities to the vehicle, for instance, scratch of driver door, paint discoloration on roof, etc. In some such embodiments, the camera manager 206 can determine the discrepancy 422 by comparing characteristics 418 with the information stored in the vehicle profile instead of comparing it to previously stored or captured images of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the camera manager 206 can determine the discrepancy 422 by comparing characteristics 418 with the information stored in the vehicle profile and to previously stored or captured images of the vehicle.|0165] In response to detecting the discrepancy 422, the camera manager 206 can detect (e.g., determine or identify) a fraudulent activity (e.g., false, deceiving activity). The fraudulent activity can include, for example, multiple vehicles 130 (e.g., a car, a van, a motorcycle) using a same license plate (e.g., license plate 132) to receive services 410 from the service facility 100. The fraudulent activity can be due to the license plate 132 being meant for only a single vehicle 130, thereby rendering the remaining vehicles using the same license plate 132 fraudulently using the services. The detected or determined discrepancy 422 can include an indication of the fraudulent activity, such as a degree of difference between the vehicle characteristics 418 of the images 416 and the prior captured images. For example, the discrepancy 422 can include indications of an amount (e.g., value, degree) of difference between the color, size, features, etc. of the vehicle characteristics 418 of the images 416 compared to the prior captured images. As such, the camera manager 206 can determine the fraudulent activity by comparing the amount of difference included in the discrepancy 422 to one or more thresholds. For example, the camera manager 206 can store one or more fraudulent activities corresponding to one or more thresholds related to the amount of-63-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) threshold. The camera manager 206 can then determine the fraudulent activity based on comparing the amount of difference to the one or more thresholds.

[0166] The camera manager 206 can determine the fraudulent activity using the ML Model 222. For instance, one or more ML Models 222 can receive as inputs one or more images of capturing one or more vehicle features (e.g., vehicle color or shape) and a license plate. The one or more ML Models 222 can determine that the vehicle features do not match the vehicle license plate associated with a vehicle profile 402. The one or more ML Models 222 can determine, in response to this determination, that a fraudulent transaction or action has occurred or is being attempted and provide output, such as an alert or an indication of the fraudulent action (e.g., on one or more GUIs 250 at operator devices 150).

[0167] Responsive to determining the fraudulent activity (e.g., multiple vehicles 130 using the same license plate 132), the camera manager 206 can transmit an instruction to the profile manager 204 to update the information 412 on the vehicle profile 402. The update to the information 412 can include an indication of the fraudulent activity or discrepancy 422. The update can include an indication to not allow (e.g., not actuate the gates 160 for) the vehicles 130 with the same license plate 132 into the tunnel 140. In some implementations, the update includes an amount of time (e.g., time interval) for which the vehicle 130 with the same license plate 132 is not allowed into the tunnel 140. For example, responsive to determining the discrepancy 422, the camera manager 206 sets and transmits to the profile manager 204 an amount of time that the vehicle 130 will not be provided with services from the service facility 100.[0168| The profile manager 204 can be configured to prepopulate orders (e.g., car wash type 406 or service settings 408) based on vehicle identification. For instance, the profile manager 204 and the license plate data manager 426 can utilize the comparison of the replacement character sequence 432 and the license plate data 404 to automate car wash type 406 selection or automate service setting 408 instructions for the car wash tunnel system 105. For example, a profile manager 204 can store prior user selections of services provided in the form of preferred car wash type 406. In response to identifying the vehicle 130 and identifying or selecting the vehicle profile 402, the profile manager 204 can prepopulate the selection of the car wash type 406 (e.g., type of service to provide), automatically generating instructions for the service setting 408 to be used by the car wash tunnel system 105 in providing the desired service.-64-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[0169| The GUI Manager 212 can generate and provide various information for display on devices. For example, the GUI Manager 212 can generate a prompt 414. The prompt 414 can be associated with at least one of the car wash type 406, the service setting 408, and / or the service 410 stored in the vehicle profiles 402. Following determination of the service 410 to be provided to the vehicle 130 based on the vehicle profile 402, the profile manager 204 can instruct the GUI Manager 212 to provide the prompt 414 for display on a device (e.g., operator device 150, admin device 162). The prompt 414 can indicate the service 410 to be provided to the vehicle 130. In some implementations, the prompt 414 indicates a time until the service 410 is to be provided to the vehicle 130. For example, the profile manager 204 can receive a length of time left for a preceding vehicle in the car wash tunnel system 105, and include the length of time in the prompt 414.

[0170] In response to detecting the discrepancy 422 and the fraudulent activity, the camera manager 206 can transmit an instruction to the GUI Manager 212 to generate an alert based on the discrepancy 422 and the fraudulent activity. The GUI Manager 212 can transmit the alert for display on a device (e.g., the operator device 150, the admin device 162) to indicate (e.g., notify of) the fraudulent activity. In some implementations, the alert can include a text string related to the determined fraudulent activity.

[0171] FIG. 5 is an example method 500 for implementing at least one of the systems 200, 300, or 400 as described above. For instance, the example method 500 can be implemented using one or more processors (e.g., 310) executing instructions or data stored in one or more memories (e.g., 315, 320 or 325) of a computing device or an environment. The method 500 can include acts or operations indicated by blocks 502-512, which can be performed in any order or out of order illustrated in FIG. 5. For instance, depending on implementation, any of the acts corresponding to blocks 502-512 can be performed multiple times, omitted or performed in any order.

[0172] At block 502, the method 500 can include maintaining a plurality of vehicle profiles (e.g., vehicle profiles 402). The plurality of vehicle profiles can be maintained for a plurality of vehicles (e.g., vehicle 130). Each vehicle profile of the plurality of vehicle profiles can include license plate information (e.g., license plate data 404) of a respective vehicle of the plurality of vehicles. Each vehicle profile of the plurality of vehicle profiles can include additional vehicle information, such as a make, model, and type of the vehicle. In some-65-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) implementations, a service (e.g., car wash type, car wash service), can be stored in each vehicle profile.

[0173] At block 504, the method 500 can include capturing one or more images of at least a portion of a vehicle. The at least a portion of the vehicle can be positioned within a region of interest (e.g., region of interest 135) of a service facility (e.g., service facility 100). One or more cameras can capture the images, such as gate cameras or tunnel cameras positioned at various regions of interest or tunnel entrance. The images can be stored in an image log. The images can be captured by the cameras responsive to the vehicle entering the region of interest or field of view of a tunnel camera at the tunnel entrance. For example, responsive to no vehicle being within the region of interest the cameras may not capture images.

[0174] At block 506, the method 500 can include identifying a first sequence of characters (e.g., original character sequence 424) of a license plate (e.g., license plate 132) of the vehicle. The data processing system can identify a first sequence of characters from the images of the vehicle. An image recognition model, such as OCR, can be used to identify and extract the first sequence of characters. The data processing system can identify the sequence of characters of the license plate using, for example, one or more ML models trained to recognize characters or identify the license plate original character sequence from the images.[01751 For example, the method can include identifying a characteristic of the vehicle based on the images input into one or more ML models trained to identify vehicle characteristics from the images of the vehicle. The characteristic can include, for example, a width, height, or color of the vehicle, as well as shape of the vehicle or a portion of the vehicle, configurations added to the vehicle (e.g., roof rack or spoiler) or any other features that can distinguish one vehicle from another. In some implementations, the vehicle profile includes or stores various characteristics of the vehicle. The characteristics of the vehicles can include characteristics identified from prior captured images, which can be stored in the image log. Upon identifying the characteristic of the vehicles from the images, the data processing system can store the characteristic in the vehicle profile.[O176| At block 508, the method 500 can include determining one or more characters of the first sequence that satisfy a character replacement schema (e.g., character replacement schema 428). The one or more characters that satisfy the character replacement schema can be determined using a lookup table. For example, the data processing system can compare-66-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) one or more characters of the first sequence with one or more replacement characters (e.g., characters that satisfy the character replacement schema) to the lookup table. The lookup table can relate the one or more characters of the first sequence with the one or more corresponding replacement characters. The lookup table can include one or more representative character pairs which can relate at least one of: a character “1” and a character “I”, a character “2” and a character “Z”, a character “5” and a character “S”, a character “0” and a character “O”, or a character “A” and a character. Using the comparison, the data processing system can match the one or more characters of the first sequence with the one or more corresponding replacement characters. Based on the match, the one or more characters of the first sequence that satisfy the character replacement schema can be determined.[O177| The data processing system can utilize one or more ML models to detect, identify or determine one or more characters of the first sequence that satisfy a character replacement schema. For instance, a license plate processor or a license plate data manager can utilize one or more ML models trained to detect and identify original character sequences that are subject to the character replacement schema. The one or more ML models can detect, within the original character sequence, one or more characters that are subject to the character replacement schema (e.g., characters to be replaced in the sequence), such as character: “O” or “0”, character “1” or “I” or character “2” or “Z”.10178] In some implementations, based on the comparison of the characteristics of the vehicle between the images and prior captured images, the data processing system can detect a discrepancy. The discrepancy can indicate a difference between the characteristics of the images and the prior captured images. For example, the characteristic of the vehicle of the images can include that the vehicle is a blue color while the characteristic of the vehicle of the prior captured images indicate that the vehicle is white. For example, a camera manager can utilize one or more ML models to detect vehicle characteristics (e.g., vehicle shape, color, customized additions) or any prior damage to the vehicle. The ML models can be trained to compare current images from the cameras on the facility against other images of prior vehicle visits (e.g., on prior dates). The one or more ML models can be trained to compare vehicle characteristics of the vehicle having the same license plate between the current visit and prior visits and identify any changes in the characteristics (e.g., changes in the color, a recently installed or removed roof rack or a damage to the vehicle that was not present during the prior vehicle visit).-67-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[0179| At block 510, the method 500 can include generating a second sequence of characters (e.g., replacement character sequence 432). The second sequence of characters can be generated by replacing the one or more characters that satisfy the character replacement schema with one or more corresponding replacement characters in the first sequence of characters. Using a lookup table, the data processing system can select one or more representative character pairs that correspond to the one or more characters of the first sequence. The lookup table can relate characters of license plates with replacement characters for the license plates. For example, the lookup table can include the one or more representative character pairs which relate at least one of: a character “1” and a character “I”, a character “2” and a character “Z”, a character “5” and a character “S”, a character “0” and a character “O”, or a character “A” and a character “4”. Responsive to the selection, the second sequence of characters can be generated. For example, the second sequence of characters can be the first sequence of characters with replacement characters based on the lookup table.

[0180] At block 512, the method 500 can include identifying a vehicle profile (e.g., the vehicle profile 402) using the second sequence of characters. The data processing system can identify the vehicle profile from a plurality of vehicle profiles maintained in a database, and the vehicle profile can be identified based on executing a query (e.g., 434) using the generated second sequence of characters (e.g., the replacement character sequence). The vehicle profile can be associated with the vehicle positioned within the region of interest. In some implementations, in response to the discrepancy being identified, the method can include detecting a fraudulent activity (e.g., a mismatch between characteristics of a vehicle and license plate data of the vehicle). For example, one or more ML models can detect that a difference between the vehicle characteristics for the same license plate between two different events (e.g., current event a prior event) is greater than a predetermined threshold for the characteristic difference. In response to the vehicle characteristics of the vehicles associated with the same license plate data being greater than a threshold, the one or more ML models can determine a discrepancy.

[0181] In response to a detected discrepancy, the data processing system can generate an alert for display or sounding on a device, such as an operator device, to indicate the fraudulent activity following identification of the vehicle profile. Based on the discrepancy, the method can include determining that multiple vehicles have used the license plate for services of the-68-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) service facility. For example, the vehicle profile includes a discrepancy counter which indicates a number of times a discrepancy has been detected for a respective vehicle. Information on the vehicle can then be updated responsive to the determination that the multiple vehicles have used the license plate. The information can include the discrepancy counter and can include an indication to not allow the vehicle into a car wash tunnel system.[01821 In some implementations, the data processing system can maintain an image log of the vehicle. The image log can include one or more prior captured images indexed according to the license plate information. The image log can be included in each vehicle profile. The one or more images of the vehicle can be compared with the one or more prior captured images to detect discrepancies in vehicle characteristics. In some implementations, based on the vehicle profile, a service setting for the vehicle can be identified. The service setting can refer to a car wash type, a type of service, or a number of services, among others, and can be stored in each vehicle profile. Based on the service setting, the data processing system can generate a service to be provided to the vehicle. The service can be transmitted to a car wash controller to provide the service to the vehicle.

[0183] At block 514, the method 500 can include transmitting data included in the vehicle profile based on identifying the vehicle profile to a device (e.g., operator device 150, admin device 162). The data transmitted to the device can be data for presentation at the device. The device can be at least one of an operator device, an administrator device, or a point of sale device of a third party server. To transmit the data, the method 500 can include transmitting instructions to a car wash controller to cause the service facility to provide a car wash type corresponding to the vehicle profile of the vehicle. A setting, such as the service setting, can be retrieved from the vehicle profile for the car wash routine of a vehicle service at the service facility. Based on the setting, the data processing system can actuate a component controlling access to the service facility, such as a gate, to initiate the car wash routine. A prompt for the service to be provided can be provided for display on a device, such as the operator device. Responsive to the prompt, an update can be received to the service to be provided. The update can be provided by a driver. Responsive to receiving the updated service, the data processing system can store the update the vehicle profile as the service setting.

[0184] Referring now to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 depicts an example portion 600 of the service facility 100 which can include the gates 160, the region of interest 135, the lane 134, and the gate camera 120. The example portion 600 can include one or more loops which can detect a-69-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) presence of the vehicle 130. The gates 160 can include a gate barrier arm and a housing. The gate camera 120 can be mounted onto a pole and face a direction of the gate 160.

[0185] Referring now to FIGS. 7A-7C, implementations of screenshots of one or more user interfaces of one or more applications for providing or implementing various features of the automated operation platform for a vehicle service facility are illustrated. Specifically, the screenshots of FIGS. 7A-7C illustrate an example user profile for recording and tracking a make, model, and license plate of the car, as well as times at which the user has had their car washed. The one or more applications may track changes between the make, model, and license plate of the car to determine whether a user may have switched license plates to wash their car more often than their subscription (e.g., service setting) allows. For example, responsive to determining that the license plate has switched more than twice in a span of one month, the application may generate a notification to the car operator, and not allow the car to enter the car wash tunnel (e.g., by not opening the gate).

[0186] A screenshot 700 can include an indication of the discrepancy 422 on the GUI 250. For example, upon detecting the discrepancy 422, the camera manager 206 transmits the discrepancy 422 to the GUI Manager 212. The GUI Manager 212 can generate a node based on the discrepancy 422 to notify the operator of at least one operator device 150. A screenshot 720 can include information on a number of washes the vehicle 130 for which the discrepancy 422 was detected has received along with a date and time of each wash. A screenshot 730 can include the vehicle profile 402 including at least the license plate data 404 and the information 412.C. Systems and Methods for Automated Car Wash Facility Throughput Control[0187| When a vehicle 130 enters a region of interest 135 within a proximity of a gate 160 in a lane 134 of a multi-lane facility 100, the technical solutions can utilize a gate camera 120 to capture one or more images or video streams of the vehicle 130. Once captured, a queue management system can analyze the visual data to extract vehicle information, such as a make, model, type, and license plate number of the vehicle 130. Once the data is collected, the queue management system can update a system queue to include the vehicle 130, and generate a first data object for display on an operator device. The data can indicate a status of the lane 134, such as position, presence, absence or operation of the vehicle 130 in the lane 134. Without the queue management system, an operator may need to manually input the-70-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) vehicle information, update the system queue, and send the vehicle 130 to a car wash tunnel controller for services to be provided to the vehicle 130. Such cases may involve service delays, disruptions, and the car wash tunnel system 105 not actuating the gate 160, thereby not allowing the vehicle 130 into the tunnel to receive car wash services. Moreover, without the queue management system, the operator may need to be stationary to monitor and identify issues with vehicles at the service facility, leading to inefficient operations and resource management of the service facility 100.

[0188] To overcome this challenge, the technical solutions can detect and update a system queue, thereby improving the efficiency of the car wash tunnel system. In particular, the technical solutions can provide a queue manager to maintain a queue of vehicles being serviced by a facility, as well as poll a car wash tunnel system controller to determine a status of a tunnel queue. Based on the status, the queue manager can transmit instructions to update the tunnel queue with vehicle information, thereby enabling continuous, automatic updates to the tunnel queue and minimizing service disruptions of the car wash tunnel system. In conjunction, the technical solutions can provide a data object generator to generate objects for display on a mobile application of the operator device, representing different vehicles in different lanes. The mobile application can allow an operator to control the traffic flow within the car wash tunnel system, track the vehicles in each of the lanes, and monitor services to be provided to each of the vehicles. The mobile application can allow the operator to efficiently identify vehicles in need of assistance and provide assistance to the vehicles.[01891 Moreover, as different vehicles utilize different lanes of a multi-lane facility to seek different services from the facility, it can be challenging for operators to timely and efficiently keep track of statuses of the vehicles at each of the lanes and provide service. As different vehicles may face different issues at different lanes in the course of seeking services, it can be a challenge for the operators to know the status of the vehicles at each of the lanes in real time. For example, a vehicle in one lane may encounter an issue with a transaction process regarding a particular selected service, and may be waiting for operator assistance, while another vehicle in a different lane may be undergoing a different stage of service (e.g., selecting a type of car wash to order) and may not be seeking operator assistance. In such scenarios, it may be challenging for operators of the facility to know which vehicle operators at which lanes are encountering issues and to which lanes to provide operator assistance.-71-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)Delays created by such challenges can lead to wasted system energy and resources as well as adversely impact the user experience.

[0190] The technical solutions of this disclosure can overcome such challenges by providing a mobile application with a user interface presenting the facility operators with a real time multi-lane status visibility. The user interface of the application can provide a representation of statuses of multiple lanes of the facility based on the data corresponding to the vehicles identified at the respective lanes. The system can generate, based on the data, data objects for different portions of the user interface to represent the updated status of the lanes for the user interface. The system can make determinations when vehicle presence at the lanes change (e.g., when one vehicle moves towards the facility and the lane is occupied by a next vehicle). The system can update the data objects for different portions of the user interface, thereby efficiently and reliably updating the lane statuses (e.g., informing the operators of any issues faced by the vehicle operators seeking operator assistance) at any given lane. The user interface can allow the operators of the application to take action, such as control (e.g., open or close) facility features such as gates, allowing for more efficient movement of the vehicles. In doing so, the technical solutions can facilitate conserving energy and resources of the facility system, improving both the system energy and resource efficiency and the user experience. The application can further integrate with the queue system to allow for monitoring and updating of the facility system queue, via the application.

[0191] FIG. 8 illustrates an example system 800 for implementing the technical solutions of the facility system 100 for tracking vehicles and updating a facility system queue and providing an application user interface for multi-lane status monitoring. The example system 800 can include a system for implementing automated vehicle traffic flow management features for use at service facilities, such as a car wash. The automated vehicle traffic flow management features can include, for example, queue systems for providing an automated car wash facility throughput control. The automated vehicle traffic flow management features can include graphical user interface (GUI) systems for providing facility operators with updates on statuses and issues of various vehicles at different facility lanes and various lane points, such as lane gates.

[0192] The example system 800 for providing automated vehicle traffic flow management features can include one or more data processing systems 118, one or more operator devices 150, one or more third party servers 190, and one or more car wash tunnel systems 105 which-72-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) can be integrated using any combination of one or more instances of the system 200 of FIG. 2 or the system 300 of FIG. 3, in the context of a facility 100 of FIG. 1. At least one of the data processing system 118, the operator device 150, or the third part server 190 can use one or more ML Models 222 to perform one or more operations of the data processing system 118.[01931 The data processing system 118 can include one or more license plate processors 202 for capturing and processing License plate information 801, such as a license plate number of vehicle license plates 132. The data processing system 118 can include one or more profile managers 204 which can include one or more databases storing one or more vehicle profiles 402 for one or more vehicles 130. Each vehicle profile 402 can include various vehicle data, such as field value pairs 804 (e.g., make and model of vehicle, license plate and license plate number of vehicle). The one or more databases can store one or more entity profiles 806 for one or more vehicles 130. The one or more entity profiles 806 can include various driver data, such as payment information and name. The data processing system 118 can include one or more camera managers 206 communicatively coupled to at least the one or more gate cameras 120. The camera manager 206 can capture and determine one or more images 416 (e.g., images of the vehicle 130). The data processing system 118 can include one or more car wash service managers 208 providing services (e.g., car washes) to the vehicle 130. The data processing system 118 can include one or more queue managers 210 to manage and monitor queues of the facility 100. The queue manager 210 can include a system queue 810 (e.g., queue of vehicles 130), and the system queue 810 can include various vehicle information, such as vehicle data 812 (e.g., vehicle type, license plate information). The queue manager 210 can include polling instructions 814 (e.g., to transmit to the car wash controller 104) and status data 816 (e.g., status of a queue stored in the car wash controller 104). The data processing system 118 can include one or more GUI Managers 212 to generate GUIs for display on a device. The GUI Manager 212 can include various information, such as data 818 (e.g., vehicle data), and one or more instructions 820 (e.g., regarding presentation of the data 818 on the device). The data processing system 118 can include one or more log managers 214 for storing logs (e.g., databases) associated with various information, such as the vehicle profile 402 and the entity profile 806. The log manager 214 can log vehicle visits to the facility, maintain a series of videos or images of the vehicles 130 utilized during the visits and provide data on the vehicle over time.-73-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[0194| The operator devices 150 can include one or more applications 152. The one or more applications 152 can include one or more GUIs 250 including one or more portions 822 (e.g., portions of the GUI 250). The operator devices 150 can include one or more data object generators 824 to generate data objects for display on at least the GUI 250. The data object generator 824 can receive data 818 and instruction 820 from the GUI Manager 212. The data object generator 824 can include one or more data objects 826. The one or more data objects 826 can include various information, such as one or more images 416 (e.g., images of the vehicle 130), one or more vehicle data 812 (e.g., license plate information), and one or more indications 832 (e.g., to indicate whether a lane of the facility 100 is occupied or empty). The third party servers 190 can include one or more operation functions 260 to perform operations related to at least the entity profile 806. For example, the operation function 260 can include a point of sale transaction, such as an operation for processing a credit card transaction or triggering a billing action of an account associated with the vehicle. The car wash tunnel system 105 can include one or more car wash controllers 104. The car wash controller 104 can include various vehicle information, such as one or more tunnel queues 834 (e.g., queue including one vehicle), vehicle data 812 (e.g., type of vehicle, service to be provided to vehicle), and one or more statuses 838 (e.g., status of the tunnel queue 834).10195] The license plate processor 202 can process and determine License plate information 801. The License plate information 801 can include a license plate number (e.g., sequence of characters) and registration of the license plate 132 of the vehicle 130. The license plate processor 202 can receive the images 416 from the camera manager 206 to process and determine the License plate information 801. For example, the license plate processor 202 can include one or more ML Models 222, such as an optical character recognition (OCR) model, and input the images 416 into the ML Model 222. The ML Model 222 can output the License plate information 801. The license plate processor 202 can transform the license plate information on the license plate 132 in the image 416 into computer-readable License plate information 801.101 6] In some implementations, the license plate processor 202 can process and encode the images 416 to determine the License plate information 801. For example, the ML Model 222 can include a character replacement schema, and can determine the License plate information 801 by receiving the images 416, and replacing characters on the license plate 132. Replacing the characters can improve a recognition capability of the license plate processor 202 in-74-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) scenarios where the License plate information 801 is hard to detect, for example, when the license plate 132 is dirty or deformed. The ML Model 222 can accommodate inconsistencies of the license plate 132 and determine the License plate information 801 using the character replacement schema. For example, the ML Model 222 replaces “O” with “0.” As such, the License plate information 801 can be different than a license plate number of the license plate 132 and instead, can be an alternative license plate number for the vehicle 130.[0197| In some implementation, instead of, or in conjunction with, generating the replacement character sequence 432, the license plate data manager 426 can utilize information stored in the vehicle profile 402 to identify a vehicle 130 (e.g., within the region of interest 135). For example, the license plate data manager 426 can receive the original character sequence 424 from the license plate processor 202, and compare the original character sequence 424 to the License plate information 801 stored in the vehicle profiles 402. Upon determining that the original character sequence 424 is different from each license plate number (e.g., license plate character sequence) in the License plate information 801, the license plate data manager 426 can shorten the original character sequence 424. For example, a last character in the original character sequence 424 can be removed such that a length of the original character sequence 424 is adjusted from 6 characters to 5 characters. The license plate data manager 426 can compare the shortened original character sequence 424 with the License plate information 801. The license plate data manager 426 can include and utilize a character sequence length threshold. The character sequence length threshold can indicate a minimum length of the shortened original character sequence 424, such as 4. For example, if the license plate data manager 426 shortens the shortened original character sequence 424 to 4 and the shortened original character sequence 424 remains different from the License plate information 801, the license plate data manager 426 compares the original character sequence 424 to the character replacement schema 428 to identify the vehicle 130.[0198| In some implementations, the original character sequence 424 matches the license plate number in one vehicle profile 402. In such cases, the license plate data manager 426 can determine that the one vehicle profile 402 corresponds to the vehicle 130. For instance, license plate recognition system can utilize a positional search methodology. This can include configuring a positional search with a minimum starting sequence, such as four characters, to improve the accuracy of license plate matches. For instance, when a camera scans a plate with the value "ABC 123," the system can first check the database for an exact match. If no exact-75-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) match is found, the system can perform positional searches by progressively reducing the number of characters, starting with "ABC12", then “BC12” and so on. This reduction of characters can allow the system to identify potential matches even when the exact plate number is not available, thereby increasing the recognition and decreasing the chance of false negatives.

[0199] The positional searching can incorporate utilization, processing and evaluation of metadata to further refine the search results and improve the reliability of the recognitions. Metadata utilized can include, for example, plate region, vehicle color, make, model, and type, each of which can be considered during the search process and determining of the vehicle identity. For example, if the initial search for "ABC 123" returns no results, the system can perform a positional search for "ABC 12," which may yield several results. These results can be ranked based on the metadata, with higher weight given to matches in the plate region, followed by vehicle color, make, and type. This ranking technique can allow for the most relevant matches to be prioritized, improving the overall accuracy and reliability of the license plate recognition system.

[0200] For example, a camera can scan a plate with the value "ABC 123" in the region VA, and the vehicle can be a white Chevrolet Silverado pickup. The system can perform a search for license plate data using the initial search for "ABC 123 ", resulting in no results. In response to receiving no results, the data processing system can then proceed to implement a positional search using a portion of the license plate (e.g., subset of the characters) as the input. In such a step, the data processing system can determine that for "ABC 12" there may be several matches, including "ABC12E", "ABC125", and "ABC122” of the same state or country. The data processing system can then have each of these matches ranked based on the metadata corresponding to the vehicle data of each of these license plates. For instance, "ABC12E" can receive the highest score due to matching the region (e.g., state), make, color, and vehicle type, thereby being identified as the most likely result. This refined search process can improve the system's ability to accurately recognize license plates, even in cases where the exact plate number is not available. In another example, upon determining that the shortened original character sequence 424 is the same as at least one license plate number in the License plate information 801, the license plate data manager 426 receives the vehicle characteristic 418 from the camera manager 206 based on the images 416. The vehicle characteristic 418 can include at least one of a region of the license plate 132 (e.g., state), color, make, model,-76-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) or type (e.g., metadata) of the vehicle 130. Once received, the license plate data manager 426 can compare the vehicle characteristic 418 to at least one of the License plate information 801 and the vehicle data 812 stored in the vehicle profiles 402. For example, the license plate data manager 426 compares the region of the license plate 132 of the vehicle 130 in the images 416 to regions in the License plate information 801 to identify the vehicle profile 402 associated with the vehicle 130. The license plate data manager 426 compares the vehicle characteristic 418 to data stored in the vehicle profiles 402 with the vehicle profiles 402 matching the shortened original character sequence 424. The license plate data manager 426 can include weights with the vehicle characteristic 418 for comparing the vehicle 130 to the vehicle profiles 402. For example, a weight of the region of the license plate 132 can be higher than a weight of the color, make, model, or type. The license plate data manager 426 identifies a match percentage between the vehicle characteristic 418 and the vehicle profiles 402, and determines the vehicle profile 402 corresponding to the vehicle 130 based on a highest match percentage. For example, the license plate data manager 426 determines a difference between each of the region, make, model, color, and type of the vehicle 130 with the region, make, model, color, and type of vehicle stored in each of the vehicle profiles 402, weighs the differences, and determines the match percentage for each of the vehicle profiles 402 with the vehicle 130 based on the weighted difference.

[0201] The profile manager 204 can store and provide various vehicle profiles 402. A vehicle profile 402 can include various vehicle data. For example, the vehicle profile 402 can include field value pairs 804. The field value pairs 804 can relate (e.g., correlate) various vehicle data related to the vehicle 130. For example, the field value pairs 804 include at least one of the license plate 132 and a series of characters of the license plate 132 of the vehicle 130 (e.g., License plate information 801), a vehicle type (e.g., sedan, truck) and a make and model information of the vehicle 130, a vehicle color information (e.g., gray) and a name of a color of the vehicle 130 (e.g., specific color of the make of the vehicle 130). In some implementations, the vehicle profile 402 can include the various vehicle data, and the various vehicle data is tagged (e.g., marked, associated) to form (e.g., indicate) the field value pairs 804. The profile manager 204 can detect and extract vehicle profiles 402 based on the License plate information 801 provided by the license plate processor 202. For example, the profile manager 204 can match the License plate information 801 to at least one field value pair 804.-77-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[02021 The profile manager 204 can store and provide various entity profiles 806. An entity profile 806 can include various driver data. For example, the entity profile 806 can include a name, address, payment information, and subscription information of the driver of the vehicle 130. The subscription information can include a car wash type, a total number of car washes, and a number of remaining car washes. The subscription information can include a time interval between car washes, and a time duration to receive the number of remaining car washes. For example, the subscription information can indicate a time limit for which the total number of car washes can be received. Each entity profile 806 can be associated with (e.g., corresponds to) at least one vehicle profile 402. For example, the name of the driver is included in both the entity profile 806 and the vehicle profile 402, and is used to associate the entity profile 806 and the vehicle profile 402. In some implementations, the entity profile 806 includes one or more vehicle profiles 402. For example, one entity profile 806 can be associated with three vehicle profiles 402 (e.g., driver has a subscription for three vehicles 130).

[0203] The camera manager 206 can capture and store various images 416. The camera manager 206 can be communicatively coupled with at least one image capture device, such as the gate cameras 120 and the tunnel camera 122. The tunnel camera 122 can be positioned at an entrance of the tunnel 140. The camera manager 206 can monitor the entrance of the tunnel 140 using the tunnel camera 122, and can instruct the tunnel camera 122 to capture the images 416 of the vehicle 130 upon detection of the vehicle 130 at the entrance of the tunnel 140. The camera manager 206 can then receive and store the images 416. The camera manager 206 can receive the images 416 from at least one of the gate cameras 120 or the tunnel camera 122. In some implementations, the camera manager 206 can continually receive images 416 from the tunnel camera 122. The camera manager 206 can receive and store images 416 from the gate cameras 120 of vehicle 130 in at least one lane 134. The camera manager 206 can receive and store images 416 of the gate cameras 120 of the vehicle 130 in the region of interest 135.

[0204] Based on the images 416, the camera manager 206 can identify various vehicle information. For example, the camera manager 206 can identify one or more features of the vehicle 130 from the images 416. The features of the vehicle 130 can include elements on a roof of the vehicle 130 (e.g., roof rack), a tire type, height, width, or color of the vehicle 130, among others. The camera manager 206 can include the ML Model 222 to identify the-78-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) features. For example, the camera manager 206 can input the images 416 into the ML Model 222, which can be an object detection model, and the ML Model 222 can output the features. The camera manager 206 can store the features of the vehicle 130 in a log of the log manager 214 and / or in a respective vehicle profile 402. For example, the camera manager 206 can provide the images 416 to the license plate processor 202. Upon extraction of the License plate information 801, the profile manager 204 can provide a matching vehicle profile 402, and the camera manager 206 can provide the features to the profile manager 204 to store in the matching vehicle profile 402.10205] The car wash service manager 208 can identify and transmit instructions to the car wash controller 104 to provide services to the vehicle 130. For example, the vehicle data 812 of the tunnel queue 834 and the vehicle data 812 of the system queue 810 can include information identifying a service (e.g., information associated with a car wash service) to be provided to at least one vehicle 130 by the car wash tunnel system 105. The service can include a car wash type, a car wash routine, etc. For example, the service can be a “platinum car wash,” which can include an underbody wash, a tire shine, and wax services. The service can indicate a service setting, such as a temperature and duration of the service. The car wash controller 104 can be configured to control one or more components of the car wash tunnel system 105 according to the service. For example, responsive to the service including the underbody wash, the car wash service manager 208 can transmit instructions to the car wash controller 104 to actuate the service equipment 110 configured to provide the underbody wash to the vehicle 130.

[0206] In some implementations, the camera manager 206 provides features of the vehicle 130 to the car wash service manager 208. In some implementations, the car wash service manager 208 extracts the features of the vehicle 130 from a respective vehicle profile 402. Based on the features, the car wash service manager 208 can instruct the car wash controller 104 to actuate a subset of components (e.g., service equipment 110) of the car wash tunnel system 105. For example, responsive to the features of the vehicle 130 including a roof rack, the car wash service manager 208 can instruct the car wash controller 104 to not actuate brush rollers (e.g., of the service equipment 110) for a roof of the vehicle 130. As another example, based on a height and width of the vehicle 130, the car wash service manager 208 can instruct the car wash controller 104 to deploy a subset of the service equipment 110 configured for the height and width of the vehicle 130. The car wash service manager 208 can include the-79-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)ML Model 222 to determine which subset of components to actuate based on the features of the vehicle 130.

[0207] The queue manager 210 can monitor, store, and update various queues of vehicles 130. For example, the queue manager 210 maintains a system queue 810. The system queue 810 can include various vehicle data 812, such as vehicle data 812 of a first vehicle 130 and a second vehicle 130. The vehicle data 812 can include a service to be provided, License plate information 801, a type, make, model, or features of the first vehicle 130 and the second vehicle 130, among others. The queue manager 210 can receive the vehicle data 812 from the profile manager 204 upon identification of the vehicle profile 402 based on the License plate information 801 from the images 416. The system queue 810 can maintain an order of the vehicles 130. For example, the second vehicle 130 is behind the first vehicle 130, and receives services in the tunnel 140 after the first vehicle 130. In some implementations, the queue manager 210 can receive the images 416 from the camera manager 206, and update the order of the system queue 810 using the one or more images 416. For example, the images 416 can show that the second vehicle 130 is in front of the first vehicle 130, and the queue manager 210 can update the order of the system queue 810 accordingly.

[0208] The queue manager 210 can include the ML Model 222 which can determine discrepancies between the system queue 810 and the one or more images 416, and update the order of the system queue 810. The queue manager 210 can update the order of the system queue 810 based on images 416 received from the tunnel camera 122. The images 416 can indicate a queue of vehicles 130 between the tunnel 140 and the gates 160. The queue manager 210 can update the system queue 810 according to the images 416 to ensure each vehicle 130 receives the service indicated in a respective vehicle profile 402. For example, the queue manager 210 can determine that License plate information 801 of a first vehicle 130 in the system queue 810 at a first position matches License plate information 801 of a second vehicle 130 in the queue of vehicles 130 at a second position between the tunnel 140 and the gates 160. The queue manager 210 can then update the system queue 810 to have the first vehicle 130 at a second position of the system queue 810.

[0209] The queue manager 210 can include polling instructions 814. The queue manager 210 can be communicatively coupled to the car wash controller 104, and transmit polling instructions 814 to the car wash controller 104. The polling instructions 814 can include one or more requests for the car wash tunnel system 105 to provide to the data processing system-80-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)118 the latest or the most recently updated status or a state of a vehicle 130 at the tunnel queue 834. For instance, the polling instruction 814 can request information on whether the vehicle 130 at the tunnel queue 834 has left the queue and entered the tunnel or is still waiting to enter the tunnel. Queue manager 210 can send the polling instructions 814 in order to provide a vehicle data 812 about a next vehicle to enter the tunnel queue 834 from the system queue 810 that maintains information about a plurality of vehicles about to enter the tunnel queue 834.

[0210] The polling instructions 814 can include instructions to add information about a vehicle 130 into the tunnel queue 834 maintained by the car wash controller 104. The information can include the vehicle data 812 from the system queue 810 on a vehicle 130, such as a vehicle at the tunnel queue 834 or a vehicle about to enter the tunnel queue 834. In some implementations, the tunnel queue 834 is configured to hold vehicle data 812 for only a single vehicle 130. For example, the tunnel queue 834 only maintains the information about the single vehicle 130 in the tunnel queue 834. The vehicle data 812 can include vehicle data 812 for a single vehicle 130 provided by the queue manager 210. Once the vehicle 130 is permitted to enter the tunnel 140, the car wash controller 104 can erase (e.g., remove) the vehicle data 812 from the tunnel queue 834, and can repopulate the tunnel queue 834 with the vehicle data 812 upon receival of a subsequent vehicle data 812 from the queue manager 210. The vehicle data 812 can be equivalent to the vehicle data 812 transmitted by the queue manager 210, and can be continually refreshed (e.g., changed) as vehicles 130 enter the tunnel 140, and the queue manager 210 sends additional vehicle data 812 to the car wash controller 104.

[0211] In some implementations, the instructions to add information about the vehicle 130 can include an enter queue command provided over a serial connection. For example, the queue manager 210 (e.g., the data processing system 118) can be connected to the car wash controller 104 via at least one cable, and transmit the polling instructions 814 through the cable. The enter queue command can indicate to the car wash controller 104 to input (e.g., enter) the vehicle data 812 into the tunnel queue 834. As another example, the data processing system 118 is communicatively coupled to the car wash controller 104. In these cases, at least one of the car wash controller 104 or the queue manager 210 can include a virtual serial port to provide the instructions over the serial connection.-81-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[02121 Responsive to receiving the polling instructions 814, the car wash controller 104 can update the status 838 of the tunnel queue 834. The status 838 can indicate whether the tunnel queue 834 can receive additional instructions (e.g., empty, available), or whether the tunnel queue 834 is at capacity (e.g., full, unavailable). For example, responsive to receiving the polling instructions 814 and the tunnel queue 834 including the vehicle data 812, the status 838 is updated to full. Responsive to sending the vehicle 130 into the tunnel 140, the status 838 can be updated to empty. Responsive to transmitting the polling instructions 814 to add information about the vehicle 130, the car wash controller 104 can update the system queue 810. For example, the second vehicle 130 is moved to a first spot in the system queue 810 (e.g., first spot previously occupied by the first vehicle 130).[02131 Once the vehicle 130 is in the tunnel queue 834, the car wash controller 104 can permit the vehicle 130 into the tunnel 140. For example, the car wash controller 104 actuates the gate 160, and initiates the service equipment 110 to provide the car wash to the vehicle 130 in the tunnel 140. The car wash controller 104 can permit entry of the vehicle 130 into the tunnel 140. The car wash controller 104 can provide the car wash service to the vehicle 130 based on at least the vehicle data 812. Once the vehicle 130 is permitted into the tunnel 140, the queue manager 210 can update the status 838 to be empty. At this time, the tunnel queue 834 can be empty (e.g., not include the vehicle data 812).|0214J The queue manager 210 can poll (e.g., survey, examine) the car wash controller 104 to determine a change in the status 838 of the tunnel queue 834. The polling can include sending requests for most recently updated status of a vehicle in a tunnel queue (e.g., whether a vehicle is waiting to be released, moved or allowed to move into the tunnel or is waiting for approval). The queue manager 210 can receive the status 838, and can compare the status 838 with a previously received status 838 to determine the change in the status 838. The change in the status 838 can indicate that the tunnel queue 834 is either available or unavailable. For example, the queue manager 210 can determine that the status 838 has changed from unavailable to available, and the change in the status 838 can be indicated as positive. The polling of the car wash controller 104 can be implemented over a serial connection. For example, using the same cable used to transmit the polling instructions 814, the queue manager 210 can poll the car wash controller 104 to determine the status 838. Polling the car wash controller 104 to determine the status 838 can be included in the polling instructions 814. The polling instructions 814 can include a sequence (e.g., plurality) of requests for the-82-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) status 838 of the tunnel queue 834. The sequence of requests can be continuously transmitted over the serial connection. The sequence of requests can be transmitted according to a predefined time period (e.g., duration). For example, the queue manager 210 can transmit the sequence of requests at time intervals according to the predefined time period. As another example, the queue manager 210 can transmit the sequence of requests for a predefined time period at predefined time intervals.

[0215] In some implementations, to poll the car wash controller 104, the queue manager 210 emulates (e.g., imitates, copies) a keypad of the car wash controller 104 to transmit a command for polling. For example, the queue manager 210 can mimic behavior of a physical keypad of the car wash controller 104 through any combination of hardware or software, and can include key pressing, such as using a microcontroller to send signals mimicking keypad presses. The queue manager 210 can transmit the command using the sequence of requests to refresh and determine the status 838 of the tunnel queue 834. In some implementations, the queue manager 210 polls the car wash controller 104 responsive to receiving a signal from, for example, the GUI Manager 212. The signal can be generated by the GUI Manager 212 in response to a selection on the GUI 250. For example, the GUI 250 can include a portion 822 that includes, for example, a button enabling a user (e.g., operator) of the operator device 150 to determine the status 838. Responsive to the user interacting with (e.g., selecting, touching) the portion 822, the GUI Manager 212 generates a signal and transmits the signal to the queue manager 210 to poll the car wash controller 104 to determine the status 838. Once the status 838 is determined, the car wash controller 104 can transmit the status 838 to the GUI Manager 212 for display on the GUI 250.

[0216] After determining the change in the status 838, the queue manager 210 can determine that the tunnel queue 834 is available or unavailable (e.g., empty) to receive a next vehicle 130 (e.g., the second vehicle 130). Responsive to determining that the tunnel queue 834 is unavailable, the queue manager 210 can continue to poll the car wash controller 104 to determine the change in the status 838. Responsive to determining that the tunnel queue 834 is available, the queue manager 210 can transmit another instruction (e.g., second instruction) to the car wash controller 104 to add information (e.g., vehicle data 812) about the second vehicle 130 (e.g., the next vehicle 130 in the system queue 810 according to the order). The car wash controller 104 can receive the vehicle data 812 of the second vehicle 130, and add the vehicle data 812 to the tunnel queue 834 as the vehicle data 812. Upon the addition of the-83-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) vehicle data 812 to the tunnel queue 834, the car wash controller 104 can permit the vehicle 130 to enter the tunnel 140, and provide the service to the vehicle 130 according to the vehicle data 812.

[0217] In some implementations, the queue manager 210 receives a wireless signal from the operator device 150 (e.g., a smartphone executing an application 152 with a GUI 250). The signal can be a signal generated in response to an interaction of an operator with an active element (e.g., a menu selection or a button) of the GUI 250. The signal can be configured (e.g., via computer code or commands) to cause or issue an instruction, such as an instruction to control (e.g., operate) a gate 160, an instruction to update a tunnel queue 834, or an instruction to send an alert to other operator devices 150 that the operator of the transmitting operator device 150 has selected to service a vehicle 130 at a particular lane. The queue manager 210 can be communicatively coupled to the operator device 150. Responsive to receiving the wireless signal, the queue manager 210 can transmit the instruction (e.g., second instruction) instructing the car wash controller 104 to add the vehicle data 812 regarding the next vehicle 130 in the system queue 810. The wireless signal can be generated by the GUI Manager 212 responsive to a user interaction with the GUI 250 (e.g., an operator selection of a portion 822 of a GUI 250). For example, the operator can determine a time at which to send the next vehicle 130 into the tunnel 140, and can delay the transmission of the vehicle data 812 to the car wash controller 104. The operator can dictate when to send the next vehicle 130 into the tunnel 140.[0218| In some implementations, the car wash controller 104 does not allow vehicles 130 into the tunnel 140 unless the vehicle data 812 relating to the vehicle 130 is transmitted and input into the tunnel queue 834. Responsive to detecting the vehicle data 812 in the tunnel queue 834, the car wash controller 104 allows vehicles 130 into the tunnel 140. Thus, the queue manager 210 continually polls the car wash controller 104, and transmits instructions to add information (e.g., vehicle data 812) for a next vehicle in the system queue 810. The system queue 810 can store vehicle data 812 for multiple vehicles 130 while the tunnel queue 834 can only store vehicle data 812 for a singular vehicle 130.

[0219] After the second vehicle 130 enters the tunnel 140, the queue manager 210 can determine that the second vehicle 130 is not in the tunnel queue 834 by polling the car wash controller 104. The queue manager 210 can determine that the second vehicle 130 is not in the tunnel queue 834 based on the change in the status 838. The queue manager 210 can-84-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) determine that the second vehicle 130 is not in the tunnel queue 834 by determining that the tunnel queue 834 is empty (e.g., does not include the vehicle data 812). Responsive to determining that the second vehicle 130 is not in the tunnel queue 834, the queue manager 210 can transmit an instruction to the car wash service manager 208 to validate that the car wash service provided to the second vehicle 130 was the car wash service identified in the vehicle data 812 (e.g., information) of the second vehicle 130 provided to the car wash controller 104. For example, the queue manager 210 can retain the vehicle data 812 of the second vehicle 130, and can receive information from the car wash service manager 208 to validate the car wash service provided to the second vehicle 130. The information received from the car wash service manager 208 can include the service, such as the car wash type and service settings, provided to the vehicle 130. The queue manager 210 can compare the information with the vehicle data 812. After determining that the car wash service information and the vehicle data 812 related to the car wash service match, the queue manager 210 can remove the vehicle data 812 of the second vehicle 130 from the system queue 810 and transmit an instruction to the third part server 190. After determining that the car wash service information and the vehicle data 812 related to the car wash service do not match, the queue manager 210 can generate an alert to the operator device 150 indicating an error in the provision of the car wash service to the vehicle 130.

[0220] Responsive to determining that the second vehicle 130 is not in the second lane 134, the queue manager 210 can request information of a next vehicle 130 in the second lane 134. For example, the queue manager 210 can send a request to the camera manager 206 for the images 416 of the second lane 134. The queue manager 210 can continually receive the images 416 from the camera manager 206, and detect the next vehicle 130 from the images 416. The license plate processor 202 can receive the images 416 in parallel, and determine the License plate information 801, and the profile manager 204 can determine the vehicle profile 402 based on at least the License plate information 801. The queue manager 210 can place the next vehicle 130 in the system queue 810 responsive to receiving at least the License plate information 801.

[0221] The instruction to the third party server 190 can cause the third party server 190 to perform one or more operations (e.g., operation functions 260). The operation function 260 can use data of the entity profile 806 associated with the vehicle 130. The operation function 260 can include at least one of a point of sale transaction implemented used a third party-85-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) system to an update to a log associated with at least one of the entity profile 806 or the vehicle profile 402 of the vehicle 130. For example, the third party server 190 can request payment from the driver of the vehicle 130 using the third party system based on the entity profile 806. In some implementations, the third party server 190 executes the payment based on payment information stored in the entity profile. As another example, the third party server 190 can update the log associated with at least one of the vehicle profile 402 or the entity profile 806 of the vehicle 130. The log can indicate the subscription of the vehicle 130, and the update can include recording the service provide to the vehicle 130, and, in some implementations, a number of services left in the subscription. In some implementations, the update indicates a time interval until the vehicle 130 can receive another service.[02221 The GUI Manager 212 can provide various information to the operator device 150 for display on the operator device 150. For example, the GUI Manager 212 can provide data 818 to each operator device 150 of a plurality of operator devices 150. The data 818 (e.g., first data) can correspond to a first vehicle 130 in a first lane 134 of a plurality of lanes 134 of the facility 100. The GUI Manager 212 can generate and provide the data 818 to the operator device 150 responsive to detecting the first vehicle 130 in the first lane 134. The first vehicle 130 may be detected by the camera manager 206 via the images 416. The data 818 can include vehicle data 812. The vehicle data 812 can include a status of the lane 134 (e.g., number of vehicles 130 in the lane 134), entity data associated with the entity profile 806 of the vehicle 130, and vehicle data associated with the vehicle profile 402 of the vehicle 130. The GUI Manager 212 can generate the data 818 following extraction of the License plate information 801 from the images 416 by the license plate processor 202. The profile manager 204 can provide at least a portion of the data 818 to the GUI Manager 212 based on determining a respective vehicle profile 402 and entity profile 806 based on the License plate information 801. For example, the profile manager 204 provides the entity data from the entity profile 806 and the vehicle data from the vehicle profile 402 of the vehicle 130 to the GUI Manager 212. The camera manager 206 can determine the status of the lane 134 based on the images 416, and provide the status to the GUI Manager 212. The GUI Manager 212 can collate the information provided by at least the profile manager 204 and the camera manager 206 into the data 818 for transmission to the operator devices 150.[02231 In some implementations, the data 818 includes an identifier for a portion 822 of the GUI 250. For example, the first data 818 includes an identifier for a first portion 822 of the-86-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)GUI 250. The portions 822 of the GUI 250 can be split by pixels. For example, each of the portions 822 can be a group of pixels of the GUI 250. Each portion 822 can represent a status or a state of any portion of a facility 100, such as a status of a particular lane 134 (e.g., a first lane 134A, a second lane 134B or any other lane 134 being occupied by a vehicle or unoccupied), a gate 160 being open or closed, a state of a transaction being executed using a point of sale terminal with a third part server 190, or a status of a conveyor system 116 at the tunnel 140. Each group of the pixels can be identified by an identifier. The GUI Manager 212 can generate the data 818 including the identifier to indicate to the application 152 which portion 822 of the GUI 250 to display the data object 826 on. In some implementations, the GUI Manager 212 constructs (e.g., generates) the data 818 using the field value pairs 804. For example, the GUI Manager 212 receives the field value pairs 804 from the profile manager 204 based on the License plate information 801 of the vehicle 130. The GUI Manager 212 can include one or more of the field value pairs 804 in the data 818, such as the vehicle color information and the name of the color of the vehicle 130.

[0224] The transmission of the data 818 to the operator device 150 can cause the application 152 to present a data object 826 (e.g., first data object). The GUI Manager 212 can transmit the data 818 to the data object generator 824. The data object generator 824 can generate the data object 826 using the data 818. The data object 826 can include one or more images 416 of the vehicle 130 and vehicle data 812. The vehicle data 812 can include at least the License plate information 801 of the vehicle 130. The data object 826 can be presented on the GUI 250 on a specified portion 822 of the GUI 250. For example, the data object generator 824 generates a first data object 826 for a first vehicle 130 on a first portion 822 of the GUI 250. The first portion 822 of the GUI 250 can be associated with the first lane 134, and can indicate that the first vehicle 130 is in the first lane 134. The application 152 can present the data objects 826 of each vehicle 130 in each lane 134, and the portion 822 of the GUI 250 that the vehicle 130 can be presented on depends on the lane 134 the vehicle 130 is in as well as a position of the vehicle 130 in the lane 134 (e.g., order). The first data object 826 can include a first image 416 of the first vehicle 130 as well as a first License plate information 801 of the first vehicle 130.

[0225] In some implementations, the data objects 826 generated by the data object generator 824 are color coded (e.g., marked by a color, such as red). The color coding can correspond to, or be indicative of, a status of a lane 134 or vehicle at a gate 160. The status can indicate-87-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) whether a driver of the vehicle is seeking assistance or whether an operator should address the vehicle and offer assistance. The data object 826 indicative of a state of the vehicle or a lane can be updated to each of the operator devices 150. For instance, responsive to receiving an indication that an operator of a first operator device 150 of a plurality of operator devices 150 has selected a data object 826 indicative of the operator seeking to address a particular vehicle 130, the first operator device 150 can provide or trigger indications (e.g., data objects) to the remaining operator devices 150 of the plurality of operator devices 150. The indications can indicate to the remaining operator devices 150 that this lane is being addressed by the user or operator of the first operator device 150.

[0226] The data object generator 824 can color code the data objects 826 based on a status of an operation associated with the third party server 190. For example, the operation can be a point of sale transaction, and the status can include successful, in process, or failed. The data objects 826 can then be color coded based on the status, such as successful being green, in process being yellow, and failed being red. In some implementations, the status can be based on a number of car washes left in a subscription of the vehicle 130. For example, responsive to a number of car washes being above 0, the data object 826 can be color coded as green. Responsive to the number of car washes being equal to 0, the data object 826 can be color coded as red. Responsive to the number of car washes being at or below a threshold value greater than 0, the data object 826 can be color coded as yellow.

[0227] In some implementations, the GUI Manager 212 includes a data structure. The camera manager 206 and the license plate processor 202 can extract information from the images 416 of the first vehicle 130 in the first lane 134, and can provide the information to the GUI Manager 212. The information can include, for example, features of the vehicle 130 and the License plate information 801. Using the data structure, the GUI Manager 212 can identify information associated with the entity profile 806 of the first vehicle 130. The data structure can associate the information in the entity profile 806 and the data 818 for each vehicle 130 stored in the vehicle profiles 402. For example, the data structure includes entity data from the entity profile 806 and vehicle data from the vehicle profile 402, and associates the information based on the License plate information 801. The GUI Manager 212 can select the data 818 (e.g., first data 818) from the data structure based on the information associated with the entity profile 806. The GUI Manager 212 can select the data 818 based on the License plate information 801.-88-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[0228| Following selection of the data 818, the GUI Manager 212 can generate a data package. The data package can include the data 818 for transmission to each operator device 150 of the one or more operator devices 150. The data package can include one or more instructions 820 to cause each of the operator devices 150 to generate the data object 826 based on the data 818. The instructions 820 can include to generate the data object 826 by placing the information associated with the entity profile 806 into one or more sub-portions of the portion 822. For example, the GUI Manager 212 can include instructions 820 instructing the data object generator 824 to include entity data in the data object 826. The information associated with the entity profile 806 to be included in the data object 826 can include, for example, the subscription or name of the driver.[02291 The GUI Manager 212 can provide additional data 818 (e.g., second data 818) to each operator device 150. For example, the GUI Manager 212 can generate the second data 818 based on a second vehicle 130 in a second lane 134 of the facility 100. The second data 818 can correspond to the second vehicle 130. The GUI Manager 212 can generate the second data 818 responsive to the camera manager 206 detecting the vehicle 130 in the second lane 134. The second data 818 can include an indication of a second portion 822 of the GUI 250. The data object generator 824 can receive the second data 818, and generate a second data object 826 based on the second data 818. The second data object 826 can include the images 416 (e.g., second image 416) and the vehicle data 812 (e.g., second License plate information 801) of the second vehicle 130. The data object generator 824 can provide the second data object 826 to the application 152 for display on a second portion 822 of the GUI 250. The second portion 822 can be associated with the second lane 134, and can indicate that the second vehicle 130 is in the second lane 134. The second data object 826 can be presented concurrently with the first data object 826. For example, the second data object 826 is adjacent to the first data object 826 on the GUI 250, and are presented simultaneously.[02301 The GUI Manager 212 can extract data about the driver from the entity profile 806 associated with the driver of the vehicle 130. The data about the driver can be the entity data of the entity profile 806. Based on the data about the driver, the instructions 820 transmitted to the application 152 by the GUI Manager 212 can include a note. The note can include the data about the driver, and the instructions 820 can indicate to the application 152 to display the note in the second portion 822 of the GUI 250. The note can include a name, subscription, and other information included in the entity profile 806. The note can be included in the data-89-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)818, and can be transmitted to each of the operator devices 150 in the data package alongside the instructions 820.[02311 Data processing system 118 can include the functionality for utilizing QR codes 166 to allow for vehicle identification, verification, and user selection and customization of vehicle services. For example, upon driving up to a lane 134 or a gate 160 of a facility 100, a user (e.g., a driver) can scan the QR code 166 using their smartphone. The QR code 166 can be positioned at any location at the facility 100, including on, adjacent to, or along a lane 134, a gate 160, entrance to a tunnel 140 or car wash tunnel system 105. Upon scanning, the QR code 166 can direct the smartphone of the user to a webpage where the user can select from a variety of car wash services of the facility 100, including a basic wash, a premium wash, or a special polishing service. The user can also choose to upgrade their service type from a onetime wash to a monthly or annual subscription. The webpage or the application provided via the QR code 166 can allow the user to configure specific preferences associated with the vehicle profile 402 or vehicle data 812, such as opting for a tire shine or an underbody wash. Once the user has made their selections, the data processing system 118 can process the request and update the user's profile with the chosen services, ensuring that the car wash tunnel system 105 is prepared to provide the selected services when the vehicle enters the tunnel 140.|0232] The QR code 166 can be used in conjunction with a license plate processor 202 to enhance security and personalization of services. For instance, when the user scans the QR code 166, the data processing system 118 can verify the user's identity by matching the data (e.g., identifier) of the smartphone that scanned the QR code with the license plate data captured by the license plate processor 202. The identifier can include, for example, the phone's unique device ID, the user's account information, or a session token generated by the application. This verification process can validate the smartphone with the recognized license plate data to ensure that the services are provided to the correct vehicle and user. For instance, if the license plate processor 202 recognizes the license plate of the vehicle and matches it with the phone identifier, the data processing system 118 can grant access to the user's profile or account, allowing them to manage their services and preferences. This feature can provide an additional layer of security and personalization, ensuring that the services are tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the user.-90-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[02331 For example, the feature can be implemented by positioning a QR code 166 next to a gate 160, where a user can scan the QR code 166 with their smartphone. The data processing system 118 can then verify the user's identity by matching the phone identifier on the QR code 166 with the license plate data captured by the license plate processor 202. Upon successful verification, the data processing system 118 can grant access to the user's profile, allowing them to select and configure car wash services, change their service type, and update their preferences. The car wash tunnel system 105 can then be prepared to provide the selected services when the vehicle enters the tunnel, ensuring a personalized and efficient car wash experience.

[0234] Data processing system 118 can be configured to utilize Bluetooth beacons, other wireless beacons, or transponder devices to identify users and vehicles within the facility 100. Car beacons can be installed in vehicles and can transmit a unique identifier (e.g., unique vehicle identifier) that can be detected by the facility's beacon receivers or reader devices. When a vehicle equipped with a car beacon or transponder device enters the facility 100 (e.g., premises or a car wash building), the beacon receiver or reader device can capture the unique identifier and transmit it to the data processing system 118. The data processing system 118 can then match the unique identifier with the vehicle profile 402 or vehicle data 812 stored in the system, allowing for seamless identification and verification of the vehicle. In response to the identification and verification, the system can allow the user to access vehicle data or client account and make changes, such as service configures or service selections for the vehicle. This can allow the system to provide personalized services and streamline the user experience by automatically recognizing the vehicle and its associated preferences.

[0235] The transponder devices can include at least one radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag which includes the unique identifier. The reader device can emit radio signals, and the RFID tag can receive the radio signals and return the unique identifier. The reader device can capture the unique identifier and transmit the unique identifier to the data processing system to identify and verify the vehicle. As with other transponder device examples, the RFID tags can be utilized to uniquely identify a user or the vehicle and can be used in combination with other techniques (e.g., license plate recognition or QR code scanning) to validate identification of the user and provide access to user data and service control functionalities.-91-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)[02361 For instance, phone beacons, transponders or RFID tags can be used to identify users based on the unique identifier or signal transmitted by their smartphones. For instance, a phone beacon can be any wireless device that transmits a unique identifier from a smartphone, allowing the data processing system 118 to detect and identify the user based on the transmitted identifier. When a user with a phone beacon-enabled smartphone, or an RFID tag, enters the facility, the beacon receiver or reader device can detect the unique identifier and send it to the data processing system 118. The data processing system 118 can match the unique identifier with the user's profile or account information, allowing for personalized service customization and verification. For example, the system can grant access to the user's profile, enabling them to select and configure car wash services, change their service type, and update their preferences. This integration of phone beacons can improve security and personalization, providing for services that the users can tailor to their specific needs and preferences.10237] For example, the feature can be implemented by installing car beacons or transponder devices in vehicles and configuring the data processing system 118 to detect the unique identifier transmitted by the car beacon or transponder device (e.g., RFID tag) when the vehicle enters the facility. The beacon receiver or reader device can capture the unique identifier and transmit it to the data processing system 118, which can then match the identifier with the vehicle profile 402 or vehicle data 812. Upon successful identification, the data processing system 118 can grant access to the user's profile, allowing them to select and configure car wash services, change their service type, and update their preferences. The car wash tunnel system 105 can then be prepared to provide the selected services when the vehicle enters the tunnel, ensuring a personalized and efficient car wash experience.10238] The car beacon or transponder devices (e.g., RFID tags) can be used in conjunction with a license plate processor 202 or QR codes 166 to enhance security and personalization of services. For instance, when a radio signal (e.g., beacon signal) from a car beacon or transponder device indicates or identifies a particular vehicle or a user associated with a vehicle, the data processing system 118 can verify or validate the user's identity by matching the data of the radio signal with a license plate data determined by a license plate processor 202 or a scanned the QR code. The data of the radio or beacon signal can include signal information or code uniquely identifying a vehicle or user of the vehicle, which can be matched with QR code data or license plate data to validate or verify the identification. This-92-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) verification process can improve the security of the system and ensure that the services are provided to the correct vehicle and user. For instance, if the license plate processor 202 recognizes the license plate of the vehicle and matches it with the beacon signal, the data processing system 118 can grant access to the user's profile or account, allowing them to manage their services and preferences.[02391 At least one of the third party server 190 or the car wash service manager 208 can identify an issue associated with the vehicle 130, such as the second vehicle 130. The issue can be related to (e.g., correspond to) at least one of a point of sale operation (e.g., operation function 260) or a selection of service to provide at the facility 100. For example, the issue can be identified in response to the point of sale operation failing. The issue can be identified responsive to a service not being available at the facility 100 or the car wash service provided to the vehicle 130 not being validated, among others. Responsive to identifying the issue, the GUI Manager 212 can transmit data 818 (e.g., fourth data 818) corresponding to the vehicle 130 to cause the application 152 to present another data object 826. The data object generator 824 can receive the data 818, and generate the data object 826 including a request to assist with the issue associated with the vehicle 130. The request can be viewed by at least one operator who can provide assistance to the vehicle 130. The data object 826 can be displayed on the second portion 822 of the GUI 250. For example, the request to assist with the issue can be located on top of or overlaid the data object 826 of the vehicle 130 on the GUI 250.

[0240] In some implementations, the GUI Manager 212 receives a response to the request to assist displayed on the GUI 250. The response can be received from at least one operator device 150 (e.g., first operator device) of the one or more operator devices 150. The response can indicate that the request has been received, that the issue is resolved, or that the issue is being resolved, among others. Responsive to receiving the response, the GUI Manager 212 can generate data 818 (e.g., fifth data 818) for the second portion 822 of the GUI 250 on at least a subset of the operator devices 150. The subset of the operator devices 150 can exclude the first operator device 150. The GUI Manager 212 can include the ML Model 222 to generate data 818 based on the response. For example, the ML Model 222 can be a natural language processor (NLP), and the ML Model 222 can generate the data 818 based on the response. The data object generator 824 can generate a data object 826 (e.g., fifth data object 826) using the data 818. The fifth data object 826 can include an indication 832 (e.g., notification, alert) that the issue associated with the vehicle 130 is being addressed. The-93-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) indication 832 can be a text string on the GUI 250 of the subset of the operator devices 150, and can indicate the first operator device 150 addressing the issue.[02411 Responsive to receiving the response to the request, the GUI Manager 212 can transmit the data 818 to the first operator device 150. The data object generator 824 of the first operator device 150 can generate a data object 826 (e.g., sixth data object 826). The data object 826 can include one or more windows to address the issue associated with the vehicle 130. The one or more windows can be presented on at least one portion 822 of the GUI 250 of the first operator device 150. The windows can include options for addressing the issue, such as retrying payment or refunding the driver, among others. The ML Model 222 can generate the windows and provide data relevant to the issue. The operator of the first operator device 150 can select at least one window to address the issue. In some implementations, the GUI Manager 212 receives an updated response to the request to assist from the first operator device 150. The updated response can be generated based on at least one of the selected window or an input by the operator. The input can include a method of how the operator addressed the issue. Responsive to receiving the updated response, the GUI Manager 212 can transmit data 818 (e.g., sixth data 818) to the subset of operator devices 150. The data object generator 824 can generate a data object 826 (e.g., sixth data object) using the data 818 including an indication 832 that the associated with the vehicle 130 is addressed. The data object 826 can be displayed at the portion 822 of the GUI 250 associated with the vehicle 130 having the issue to be addressed.[02421 Responsive to the GUI Manager 212 receiving an indication that the issue associated with the vehicle 130 is addressed, the GUI Manager 212 can transmit instructions (e.g., instruction 820) to the car wash controller 104. The indication can include the updated response. In some implementations, the ML Model 222 receives the indication as an input, and outputs the instructions. In some implementations, the indication is transmitted by at least one of the operator devices 150 indicating that the issue is addressed. The instructions 820 can include an instruction to actuate the gate 160. The car wash controller 104 can receive the instructions 820, and actuate the gate 160 to, for example, allow the vehicle 130 into the tunnel 140. The instructions 820 can include an instruction to control a car wash controller 104, operate service equipment 110, activate or control a conveyor system 116, control a gate camera 120 or a tunnel camera 122, send a request for assistance to operators via operator devices 150, update a status of such the request for assistance (e.g., that an operator has-94-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) indicated that she will address the issue), or any other instruction relating any other facility system component, operation or action.

[0243] The camera manager 206 can determine that the first vehicle 130 is not in the first lane 134. Responsive to determining that the first vehicle 130 is not in the first lane 134, the camera manager 206 can transmit an indication to the GUI Manager 212. Upon receipt of the indication, the GUI Manager 212 can transmit the instruction 820 to the operator device 150 to cause the application 152 to cease presentation of the data object 826 (e.g., first data object 826) associated with the first vehicle 130 on the first portion 822 of the GUI 250. Following ceasing of the presentation, the first portion 822 can be empty. Responsive to ceasing presentation of the data object 826, the GUI Manager 212 can transmit data 818 including placeholder data to each operator device 150. The application 152 can display the placeholder data on the first portion 822, and any portion 822 of the GUI 250 not including a data object 826. The placeholder data can include, for example, space for images 416 of a vehicle 130 and space for vehicle data 812. The data object generator 824 can generate a placeholder data object 826 using the placeholder data. The placeholder data object 826 can include an indication (e.g., indication 832) that the first lane 134 is empty (e.g., does not include any vehicles 130). The placeholder data object 826 can be generated and displayed for any lane 134 that is empty. Each lane 134 can correspond to a portion 822 of the GUI 250.|0244] Subsequent to the GUI Manager 212 transmitting the instruction 820 to cease presentation of the first data object 826, the camera manager 206 can determine that another vehicle 130 (e.g., a third vehicle 130) of the one or more vehicles 130 is in the first lane 134. The camera manager 206 can provide the images 416 to the license plate processor 202 to determine the License plate information 801 of the vehicle 130. The profile manager 204 can then determine the associated vehicle profile 402 and entity profile 806 based on at least the License plate information 801.

[0245] Responsive to detecting the third vehicle 130 in the first lane 134, the GUI Manager 212 can transmit to each operator device 150 data 818 (e.g., third data 818) corresponding to the third vehicle 130. The data object generator 824 can generate a data object 826 (e.g., third data object 826) using the data 818, and the application 152 can present the data object 826 in the first portion 822 of the GUI 250 associated with the first lane 134. The data object 826 can include at least the image 416 (e.g., third image 416) and License plate information 801 (e.g., third License plate information 801) of the vehicle 130. Each portion 822 of the GUI-95-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT)250 can be continuously updated by the GUI Manager 212 based on vehicles 130 entering and leaving the lanes 134.

[0246] FIG. 9 is an example method 900 for implementing at least one of the systems 200, 300, or 800 as described above. For instance, the example method 900 can be implemented using one or more processors (e.g., 310) executing instructions or data stored in one or more memories (e.g., 315, 320 or 325) of a computing device or an environment. The method 900 can include acts or operations indicated by blocks 902-910, which can be performed in any order or out of order illustrated in FIG. 9. For instance, depending on implementation, any of the acts corresponding to blocks 902-910 can be performed multiple times, omitted or performed in any order.

[0247] At block 902, the method 900 can include the data processing system maintaining a first queue of vehicles. The first queue can include a first vehicle and a second vehicle. The first queue can include any number of vehicles as reflected or present at the facility. The queue can include a line of vehicles formed in particular order and identified via the cameras of the system. The data processing system can utilize a queue manager to maintain the representation of the sequence or order of the vehicles in the first queue along with their respective data, services to be rendered or any other information for providing predetermined services to each of the vehicles in the queue.

[0248] The queue manager can generate the queue based on images from various cameras captured throughout the facility, such as facility lanes or tunnel entrance. For instance, one or more images of vehicles at an entrance of the car wash tunnel can be received and used to identify vehicles, retrieve their data and organize the queue of the system according to the order of vehicles reflected in the images. The one or more images can be captured by a tunnel camera. The one or more images can include images of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. An order of at least the first vehicle or the second vehicle in the first queue can be updated using the one or more images. The queue can include information (e.g., license plate data) identifying each of the vehicles and can identify the order or sequence of the vehicles based on their identifying information. The queue can identify the type of car wash to apply to each of the vehicles and any adjustments to car wash services.

[0249] At block 904, the method 900 can include the queue manager transmitting a first instruction to add information about a first vehicle to a second queue. The first instruction-96-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) can be transmitted from the queue manager of the data processing system to a controller of a car wash tunnel system maintaining the second queue. The first instruction can include to add information about the first vehicle from the first queue to be provided to the second queue. The first vehicle can be the vehicle that is next in line to enter the tunnel of the car wash system to receive car wash services. The queue manager can update a status of the second queue subsequent to the car wash tunnel system permitting the first vehicle to enter a car wash tunnel. The information can identify a service to be provided to at least one of the first vehicle or the second vehicle by the car wash tunnel system. The information can include various vehicle information, such as the license plate information, make, model, and features of the vehicle, such as dimensions.[02501 The controller can be configured to control one or more components of the car wash tunnel system, such as the Resource dispensers, according to the service. The controller can provide the service according to the information in the second queue. Based on the service identified in the information, the controller can control at least a subset of the one or more components to provide the service according to the information. For example, the information can include a car wash type associated with a car wash type database stored by the controller. The controller can extract the car wash type from the car wash type database according to the information and provide the vehicle with the car wash type.|0251] At block 906, the method 900 can include the queue manager of the data processing system polling the controller to determine a change in the status of the second queue. The queue manager can implement the polling over a serial connection. The second queue can be configured to hold data for only a single vehicle to be serviced by the car wash tunnel system. The polling can include a sequence of requests for the status of the second queue. The status can indicate whether the second queue is occupied or unoccupied. The sequence of requests can be transmitted according to a predefined time period. The polling can be implemented every one or more milliseconds, such as up to every 10 milliseconds, 20 milliseconds, 50 milliseconds, 100 milliseconds, 300 milliseconds or every second. In response to each of the requests or polls, the controller can transmit a response indicating the most up to date status of the second queue.

[0252] The queue manager polling the controller can include emulating a keypad of the controller to transmit a command for polling using a plurality of requests to refresh the status of the second queue. For example, the sequence of requests can be sent mimicking pressing-97-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) of button on a keypad to determine the status of the second queue. The queue manager can poll the controller responsive to a signal generated in response a selection on a graphical user interface of an operator device. For example, the operator can poll the controller based on interactions with the GUI of the operator device to determine the status of the second queue.

[0253] At block 908, the method 900 can include the data processing system determining that the second queue is available to receive a next vehicle. The second queue can be a queue of a car wash system. The second queue can be a single-vehicle queue of the car wash system for loading vehicle data about the vehicle, including data on service to provide to the vehicle, into the car wash system. The second queue can be determined to be available based on the change in the status (e.g., status that the car wash system is now available or capable to receive and service a next vehicle in the queue). For example, the status can indicate a presence or an absence of a vehicle in the second queue, such as that the second queue is empty and available to receive or service a next vehicle from the first queue. The change in the status can be a difference between the status at a first polling of the controller vs a second polling of the controller (e.g., first sequence of requests and second sequence of requests). The difference can indicate that the status has changed to being available compared to a first polling indicating the second queue was unavailable.

[0254] The queue manager can determine that the second queue is available in response to determining that the second queue is unoccupied. The queue manager can determine that the second queue is available to receive a next vehicle after the vehicle in the second queue has been sent into the car wash tunnel system. The sequence of requests can be continually sent to determine the status, and the change in status can be determined after the vehicle in the second queue has been sent into the car wash tunnel system.

[0255] At block 910, the method 900 can include the data processing system transmitting a second instruction to add information about a second vehicle to the second queue. The second instruction can be transmitted by the queue manager to the controller of the car wash system, responsive to the determination that the second queue is available or unoccupied (e.g., and ready to receive the next vehicle from the first queue). The second instruction can cause the car wash tunnel system to permit the second vehicle into the car wash tunnel. The information can identify a service to be provided to at least one of the first vehicle or the second vehicle by the car wash tunnel system. The controller can be configured to control one or more components of the car wash tunnel system according to the service. The second instruction-98-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) can be transmitted responsive to receiving a wireless signal from an operator device. Following the second vehicle entering the car wash tunnel, the second vehicle can be determined to not be in the second queue.

[0256] The car wash service identified by the information provided to the second vehicle can be validated in response to the second vehicle determined to not be in the second queue. A third party service can perform operations using data of an entity profile associated with the second vehicle in response to the validation. The one or more operations can include at least one of a point of sale transaction implemented using the third party system or an update to a log associated with at least one of the entity profile or a vehicle profile of the second vehicle. A camera manger can identify a feature of the second vehicle based on one or more images captured by one or more cameras of a facility including the car wash tunnel system. A subset of the components of the car wash system for providing a service to the second vehicle can be activated based on the vehicle feature. At least one of the first instruction or the second instruction can include an enter queue command provided over a serial connection.10257] FIG. 10 is an example method 1000 for implementing at least one of the systems 200, 300, or 800 as described above. For instance, the example method 100 can be implemented using one or more processors (e.g., 310) executing instructions or data stored in one or more memories (e.g., 315, 320 or 325) of a computing device or an environment. The method 1000 can include acts or operations indicated by blocks 602-610, which can be performed in any order or out of order illustrated in FIG. 10. For instance, depending on implementation, any of the acts corresponding to blocks 602-610 can be performed multiple times, omitted or performed in any order.

[0258] At block 1002, the method 1000 can include a data processing system providing first data corresponding to a first vehicle to cause a mobile application to present a first data object. The first data can be provided based on a first vehicle in a first lane of a plurality of lanes of a facility. A GUI manager of the data processing system can generate the first data object using the first data at a first portion of a GUI for displaying data of vehicles at the first lane. . The first data object can include a first image of the first vehicle and a first license plate information of the first vehicle. Each operator device of a plurality of operator devices can execute the mobile application. The first data can include at least one of a status of a lane (e.g., first lane), entity data associated with an entity profile, or vehicle data associated with-99-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) a vehicle profile linked to the entity profile. The first data object can be color coded based on a status of an operation associated with a third party server.[0259 A camera manager of the data processing system can extract information from one or more images of the first vehicle in the first lane. Information associated with an entity profile associated with the first vehicle can be identified using a data structure. The data processing system can select the first data based on the information associated with the entity profile and a data package can be generated including the first data for transmission to each operator device of the plurality of operator devices. The data package can include one or more instructions to cause each of the plurality of operator devices to generate the first data object by placing the information associated with the entity profile into one or more sub-portions of the first portion.[0260| In some implementations, the first data includes an identifier for the first portion of the GUI. One or more field value pairs can be extracted from a database. The one or more field value pairs can include at least one of a license plate and a series of characters of the license plate of the first vehicle, a vehicle type and a make and model information of the first vehicle, a vehicle color information and a name of a color of the first vehicle. The data processing system can construct he first data using the extracted one or more field value pairs. Responsive to provision of the first data, information associated with a car wash service can be identified to provide to the first vehicle in a tunnel of the facility.|026l[ At block 1004, the method 1000 can include the data processing system providing second data corresponding to a second vehicle to cause a mobile application to present a second data object. The second data can be provided based on a second vehicle in a second lane of a plurality of lanes of a facility. A GUI manager of the data processing system can generate the second data object using the second data at a second portion of a GUI for displaying data of vehicles at the second lane The second data object can be presented concurrently with the first data object. The second data object can include a second image of the second vehicle and a second license plate information of the second vehicle.[02621 The second data can include at least one of a status of a lane, entity data associated with an entity profile, or vehicle data associated with a vehicle profile linked to the entity profile. The second data object can include the second data color coded based on a status of an operation associated with a third party server. For example, the data processing system can-100-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) color code the second data object based on a number of car services remaining based on a subscription in at least one of the vehicle profile or the entity profile. The second data object can be color coded red responsive to no car services remaining and yellow responsive to the number of car services being at or below a threshold and above zero.

[0263] At block 1006, the method 1000 can include the data processing system transmitting an instruction to cause the mobile application to cease the presentation of the first data object at the first portion of the GUI responsive to determining that the first vehicle is not in the first lane to each operator device of the plurality of operator devices. Responsive to determining that the first vehicle is not in the first lane, the data processing system can transmit placeholder data to each operator device of the plurality of operator devices. The placeholder data can cause the mobile application to present at the first portion of the GUI a placeholder data object generated using the placeholder data.

[0264] The placeholder data object can include an indication that the first lane is empty. The data processing system can transmit the placeholder data to each operator device of the plurality of operator devices in response to ceasing the presentation of the first data object at the first portion of the GUI. Data about the driver can be extracted from an entity profile associated with a driver of the second vehicle. The data processing system can generate a note for display in the second portion of the GUI based on the data about the driver. The note can include, for example, a car wash service type, the number of car wash services remaining, etc.

[0265] In some implementations, the data processing system can identify an issue associated with the second vehicle. The issue can correspond to at least one of a point of sale operation or a selection of service to provide at the facility. Responsive to identifying the issue, a fourth data corresponding to the second vehicle can be transmitted to cause the mobile application to present a fourth data object at the second portion of the GUI. The fourth data object can be generated using the fourth data and can include a request to assist with the issue associated with the second vehicle. The data processing system can receive a response to the request to assist from a first operator device of the plurality of operator devices. Responsive to receiving the response, fifth data can be transmitted to cause the mobile application to present a fifth data object. The data processing system can generate the fifth data object using the fifth data and be presented at the second portion of the GUI of at least a subset of the plurality of-101-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) operator devices that excludes the first operator device. The fifth data object can include an indication that the issue associated with the second vehicle is being addressed.

[0266] In some implementations, in response to receiving the response, sixth data can be transmitted to cause the mobile application of the first operator device to present a sixth data object generated using the sixth data. The sixth data object can include one or more windows to address the issue associated with the second vehicle. The data processing system can receive an updated response to the request to assist from the first operator device subsequent to receiving the response to the request. Responsive to receiving the updated response, sixth data can be transmitted to cause the mobile application to present, at the second portion of the GUI of at least the subset of the plurality of operator devices, a sixth data object. The sixth data object can be generated using the sixth data. The sixth data object can include an indication that the issue associated with the second vehicle is addressed. Responsive to receiving an indication that the issue associated with the second vehicle is addressed, an instruction to actuate the gate can be transmitted to a controller for the gate of the second lane.

[0267] In some implementations, a queue of one or more vehicles for entering a tunnel of the facility can be identified. Following the instructions to actuate the gate, an entry corresponding to the second vehicle can be included into the queue of vehicles.

[0268] At block 1008, the method 1000 can include the data processing system determining, subsequent to the transmission of the instruction, that a third vehicle of the plurality of vehicles is in the first lane. The camera manager can determine that the third vehicle is in the first lane using the one or more images. The third vehicle can be located in a spot previously occupied by the first vehicle. The camera manager can identify the license plate information and the vehicle profile of the third vehicle responsive to determining that the third vehicles is in the first lane.10269] The data processing system can identify an entity profile linked to the vehicle, and the car wash service type and various vehicle data can be extracted for the third vehicle. At least one of the vehicle profile or the entity profile can identify the make and model of the vehicle and the number of remaining car wash services for the vehicle. Images of the first lane can be continually received to determine an additional vehicle (e.g., the third vehicle) in the first lane of the service facility.-102-4920-5190-9484.1Atty.

Systems and Methods for Automated Control of Actuation Components and Resources in Car Wash Facilities

[0285] When a vehicle 130 enters a region of interest 135 within a proximity of a gate 160, the technical solutions can utilize a gate camera 120 to capture one or more images or video streams of the vehicle. Once captured, the image data processing system can analyze this visual data to identify a license plate 132 to determine a license plate number. Vehicles 130 may have different features as well as different types of car wash service requests. Without identifying the features or the type of car wash service, the car wash tunnel system 105 may provide an incorrect service to the vehicle 130 and inadvertently actuate components that can damage parts of the vehicle 130. For example, without identifying features on a roof of the vehicle 130, the car wash tunnel system 105 may actuate overhead components that can damage at least one of the roof or features on the roof of the vehicle 130.

[0286] To overcome such challenges, the technical solutions of this disclosure can identify license plate information and features of the vehicle based on the one or more images captured by one or more cameras. For instance, images of a vehicle can be captured along the path of-106-4920-5190-9484.1Atty. Ref.: 138467-0120 (WASH-234PCT) different lanes or entrance to the car wash tunnel by one or more cameras. The images can be utilized to extract license plate information or vehicle features or characteristics (e.g., shape, size, color or vehicle type) to identify the vehicle. Once identified, the technical solutions can identify or select a vehicle profile associated with the license plate information or the vehicle features or characteristics, and determine the type of car wash service to provide to the vehicle. The technical solutions can selectively actuate one or more components of the car wash system within a car wash tunnel based on the features of the vehicle. For example, responsive to the roof of the vehicle 130 including a roof rack, the car wash tunnel system can actuate a subset of the system components configured to service the roof of the vehicle. In doing so, the technical solutions can utilize machine learning image recognition to accommodate various configurations and types of vehicles, minimizing the chance of...
