An automated vehicle parking management system, including at least one image acquisition means configured to acquire a series of images over time of at least one parking bay having a designated parking rule; at least one sensor configured to detect presence of a vehicle parked in said at least one parking bay; a sensor module configured to derive arrival and departure triggers for the vehicle parked in the at least one parking bay from information from the at least one sensor indicative of the presence of said vehicle parked in said at least one parking bay; an image acquisition module configured to acquire a buffer of said images of the at least one parking bay upon receipt of said arrival trigger and/or said departure trigger from the sensor module for the vehicle parked in the at least one parking bay, whereby the buffer extends for an allocated series of said images acquired immediately before the arrival trigger and/or the departure trigger to a further allocated series of said images acquired immediately after the arrival trigger and/or the departure trigger, respectively; and a citation module configured to determine whether the vehicle parked in said at least one parking bay contravenes the designated parking rule based on the arrival and the departure triggers received from the sensor module, whereby a parking infringement notice can be issued to a registered owner of the vehicle based on a registration plate of the vehicle recognised from the buffer if the vehicle has been determined as contravening the designated parking rule.
