Automated and secured car-park operation

Cities across the world are grappling with a problem that seems to keep getting worse every year – finding a parking space. According to USA Today, a US driver on average spends 17 hours per year to find parking. The problem is found not due to insufficient parking lots, but inefficient use of the space. In this respect, smart parking, which helps improve efficiency and enforce security measures for car-park operators, may arise as a solution.

Efficient and secured car-park management with automatic recognition and actions

Axis vehicle access system, with an automatic license plate recognition analytics embedded into a purpose-built Axis network camera, manages access of approved vehicles into parking lots while immediately denying access to any unauthorized vehicles. Access control can be based on license plate verification together with additional entry factors such as day of week or time of day.

Vehicles without pre-approved access may contact the security manager through an Axis network door station, in which, verification and confirmation can be made both visually and verbally.

This automated system, managing vehicle entrance and exit as well as exercising access control, not only delivers increased operational efficiency, but also enhanced security. It also means less reliance on manned guards and reduced costs.

From security to improved service level

There are even more advantages for you to exploit. With the same system, customer service personnel can identify important vehicles and their VIP customers to provide priority service. Sales and marketing, on the other hand, may apply a loyalty program, without printing any type of card, as they can identify their target customers by recognizing their license plates.
