Key benefits of the AutoVu ALPR system for city parking enforcement
How a popular tourist destination automates parking enforcement
Managing parking is an around-the-clock job in
the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States.
There are over 15,000 parking spaces spread on
streets, within 39 lots and 5 garages. To support
enforcement officers, the city invested
Security Center AutoVu ALPR.
Within the first 8 months of using the AutoVu ALPR
system, the City of Fort Lauderdale was able to
apprehend and boot over 600 scofflaw vehicles and
collect over $200,000 in unpaid fines. Because of a
1400% increase in scofflaw identification, the City
recouped its investment on the ALPR system after only
two months.
Boost enforcement efficiency
Enforce all parking rules simultaneously
and digitally chalk vehicles for future
passes without leaving the vehicle. The
system can also automatically select
enforcement zones and rules based on
GPS coordinates.
Stay open to other technologies
Link your ALPR system to other third
party solutions such as mobile pay
stations, payment apps or digital
signage and remain open to future
advancements. Body-wearable devices
can also be integrated with the ALPR
system so officers can record incidents
and stay safe on the job.
Increase parking compliance
See which lots have the most vehicles
in violation and dynamically adjust
patrol routes to enforce them. You
can also identify scofflaws as part of
routine enforcement to crack down on
repeat offenders.
Go green by going gateless
Reduce vehicle idling and greenhouse
gas emissions while improving driver
experience by removing gates from
your parking lots. A fixed ALPR
system automatically alerts you to
vehicles in violation, helping you
manage many remote lots such as
commuter parking.
Improve customer service
Move away from issuing printed tickets
and paper permits with pay-by-plate
parking. Parkers can conveniently
register for permits online using their
license plate, saving your team countless
hours during renewal periods.
Automate access and prevent fraud
Automate access to municipal building
parking lots by using city workers'
license plates as credentials. Fixed
ALPR cameras will alert you to illegal
parkers who try to use the lots. You
can also use the fixed cameras to track
when city sanitation or maintenance
vehicles exit or enter storage lots.
