Realtime insights for enforcement, security and business intelligence.
4.3 min read
Devising a strategic parking operation plan starts with understanding where, when, and for how long customers park at your facility. Advancements in today’s parking and mobility solutions allow you to do just that, with smart technologies like license plate recognition (LPR) that go the extra mile to create a seamless experience for both you and your customers. License plate recognition technology is a versatile technology that offers unlimited possibilities and unmatched frictionless experiences for facility owners, operators, monthly and transient visitors alike. But that’s not all. It serves as the brains behind your parking operation, providing real-time insights for enforcement, security and business intelligence. Here’s how.
Smart Access Control
License plate recognition systems provide added security and access control. It can also be programmed to understand various lists such as blocklists, notification lists, and access lists with different parameters that will either admit, notify, or prevent a vehicle from entering your facility.
Block Lists
Just as it sounds, those on a blocklist are prevented from entering or exiting a facility. This typically includes anyone who has caused disturbances in the past and is now unable to enter the property. The license plate recognition software will read the license plate number and notify the customers their vehicle is not permitted on the property.
Notification Lists
A notification or be on the lookout (BOLO) list is programmed to send alerts to the property manager or owner, notifying them when a specific vehicle enters or exits the facility. This type of list is commonly used to replace a block list, allowing you to track who enters and exits your lot at all times.
Access Lists
Access lists comprise customer licence plates that are preprogrammed to enter or exit the facility. This includes but is not limited to staff, VIP customers and monthly pass holders. Those who are on an access list for a specific facility do not require a ticket to enter. The license plate recognition software will automatically read the license plate number and admit the vehicle.
Automatic Enforcement
License plate recognition’s enforcement technology does all the heavy lifting. Patrol officers are no longer required to manually check each license plate against a database of authorized parkers for special permit rules or photograph each infraction for future reference if the violation notices are disputed or validations are administered.
Real-Time Business Intelligence
License plate recognition technology allows you to make strategic decisions with a good understanding of where, when and for how long customers are parking in your facility. This can include anything from the frequency of visits, peaks days and time, to prime locations and durations.
