End-of-Ride Verification
End-of-ride verification is the check a shared micromobility operator runs when a rider ends a trip: the rider photographs the parked vehicle, and the photo is verified against the city's parking rules before the ride can close.
GPS alone can't prove compliant parking. Consumer GPS drifts several meters in a dense downtown — the difference between "in the corral" and "blocking a crosswalk" — and it can't tell whether a scooter is upright, inside a rack, or clear of the pedestrian path. End-of-ride verification moves the check to where the truth is: a photo of the actual parked vehicle.
The flow is simple from the rider's side: tap "End ride," photograph the parked vehicle, and get an instant verdict. Behind it, the image is evaluated against a policy-as-code rule set for that specific city — sidewalk vs. road vs. bike-rack vs. corral. A pass ends the ride; a fail asks for a better photo or flags the vehicle for relocation. If the image is too blurry to judge, the rider is asked to retake it.
Because the check runs on-device with sub-200ms latency, it completes even in connectivity dead zones, with the result syncing once the phone reconnects. This is the core of VerifyAI's micromobility parking verification — and the same end-of-ride pattern applies to docked and dockless bike-share.

Policy-as-code is the practice of expressing a verification rule set — the categories, the per-criterion checks, the severity, and what gates a pass or fail — as plain, editable, version-controlled configuration rather than hard-coded or opaque model behavior.
On-Device InferenceOn-device inference is running an AI model directly on the user's device — the phone — rather than sending the image to a server for analysis. It enables fast, offline-capable verification with better data privacy.
Photo Verification APIA photo verification API is a service that accepts an image plus a policy and returns a structured verdict — typically pass/fail with the reasons and a category — confirming that the photo shows a real-world condition or that it meets a defined rule.
