SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO PREVENT CARWASH COLLISIONS

Disclosed systems and methods prevent collisions in a carwash property. Disclosed systems and methods include software that brings together computer vision and machine learning algorithms to track the interaction of vehicles and equipment within the environment of a carwash to improve safety and optimize production. 1. A system comprisinga wash tunnel comprising a conveyor and wash equipment;at least one vision device comprising a field of view that includes at least a portion of the wash tunnel; a tracking system; and', 'a wash tunnel control system; and', 'wherein the tracking system communicates with the at least one vision device and the wash tunnel control system to control the conveyor based upon events observed in the field of view., 'a central controller comprising2.
