With the right parking management solutions, cities can efficiently enforce regulations, improve customer satisfaction, and streamline operations, all while seeing a return on investment. Whether you're managing parking on-street, off-street, or both, an ALPR system helps you get the job done. With ALPR cameras mounted on vehicles, your officers can scan thousands of license plates per shift. The system helps your enforcement staff simultaneously manage permit and overtime regulations or scofflaws and alerts them to infractions, so they can take action. This leads to higher compliance and helps you recoup your investment faster. Since the license plate number acts as a virtual permit, drivers can simply park and go, without fumbling with stickers or hangtags. With a fully integrated pay-by-plate solution, you can add mobile apps and digital pay stations, making payment more convenient for extra parkers as well. Your ALPR system can also help you track lot occupancy in real-time. Armed with that data, you can guide drivers to lots with available spaces, improving the flow of traffic in your city. Considering an investment in ALPR? Here are 5 things to think about 1 Return on investment Length of time to ROI will vary depending on factors such as the number of ALPR units, types of applications, and the scale of your operations. The City of Fort Lauderdale recouped their investment in two months by improving scofflaw detection alone. 2 More than enforcement Improve off-street parking management and resource allocation. Get information on length of stay, what zones are busiest during the day, and how many vehicles are parked during events. Use this data to justify improvements and maximize enforcement routes. 3 IT support Deploy an ALPR system faster, without needing on-site servers or IT support. With AutoVu™ Managed Services, your entire system is hosted in the cloud and expertly maintained by Genetec professionals. 4 Securing your lots View and record video streams from ALPR devices and use license plates as access credentials to secure your lots. Unify ALPR with other security systems in one platform. All video and data are associated to license plate reads so you can quickly retrieve evidence. 5 Safe city collaboration ALPR systems can directly alert law enforcement agencies to vehicles of interest, without your officers' knowledge. These could be stolen cars, wanted persons, amber alert vehicles, or people who are not permitted on your property.
