Welcome to the Aero Ranger FAQ – your go-to guide for understanding our AI enforcement platform. This page covers everything from ANPR to AIVF (AI Vehicle Fingerprint), parking management, compliance, ranger safety, and traffic-related solutions across Australia and New Zealand.
🚀 What is Aero Ranger?
Aero Ranger is an AI-powered vehicle enforcement platform built for councils and compliance officers. Our tools assist with parking enforcement, traffic monitoring, vehicle compliance, and ranger productivity – enabling faster decisions, better data, and more consistent compliance outcomes.

What is ANPR and how does it work?
ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) uses AI to automatically detect and read license plates from vehicles in real-time. With Aero Ranger, ANPR can trigger alerts for overstays, permit violations, stolen vehicles, and more.
See how ANPR compares to manual observation methods.
🔍 What is AIVF – AI Vehicle Fingerprint?
AIVF (AI Vehicle Fingerprint) is our next-generation vehicle recognition system. Instead of relying solely on plates, it identifies vehicles by their unique features – including make, model, colour, damage, decals, and more. This makes AIVF ideal for catching plate swapping, cloned regos, and unregistered vehicles.
Explore how AIVF works in live environments.
