Abstract
A method for idling vehicle detection comprises shining a light source on an exterior surface of a vehicle with an illumination module, collecting light reflected from the exterior surface of the vehicle with a capture module, and processing the collected light reflected from the exterior surface of the vehicle surface with a processing module wherein the processing model determines if the vehicle's engine is running or if the vehicle's engine is not running.
