With the rapid innovation and technology development, Smart Parking Solutions have become a major component of smart city development. Nowadays, Smart Parking Solutions have been widely adopted in shopping malls, residential estates, commercial buildings, public parking lots and carpark buildings. Traditional carparks often come with inefficiencies, such as parking difficulties, inconvenient payment processes and time-consuming searches for available parking space. Smart Parking Solutions effectively address these inefficiencies and can leverage AI capabilities to collect and analyze parking utilization rate and operational data, enabling more resource allocation and management. Thus, it can be seen that Smart Parking Solutions revolutionised the way of parking spaces are managed, providing a more convenient parking experience and accelerating the development of smart cities.
Exploring the Architecture of Smart Parking Solutions
1. Vehicle Entrance and Exit Management Control System
Vehicle Entrance and Exit Management Control System is a comprehensive solution designed to efficiently control and regulate vehicle access. The system collects vehicles’entry and exit records and analyzes data to provide valuable insights into parking trends and occupancy which helps better management and planning of the carpark. Additionally, it allows for easy creation and management of authorized lists. For instance, license plate numbers, vehicle photos and other vehicle information with designated monthly passes can be imported into the system. Whenever the vehicle enters or exits the carpark, the system can automatically recognize the license plate and grant access. Conversely, vehicles with fees in arrears, unlicensed vehicles and stolen vehicles can be added into the blacklist, restricting them from entering the carpark. Meanwhile, the latest Vehicle Entrance and Exit Management Control System can integrate parking information to mobile apps. Drivers can check real-time parking status, payment methods, parking offers, and more parking information through mobile apps conveniently. This integrated solution enhances operational efficiency and strengthens vehicle access regulation, ensuring both security and convenience.
2. Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) Camera
Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) cameras utilize Deep Learning Technology and AI image processing technology to quickly and automatically identify vehicle license plates. When vehicles enter to the carpark, ALPR cameras can instantly recognize the license plate and record relevant information, including the license plate number, vehicle photos, entry and exit times and more information. This data is integrated into the Vehicle Entrance and Exit Management Control System for analysis and record-keeping. The system then checks the authorized list and automatically opens the gate, enabling smoother entry and exit for drivers.
3. Video Surveillance System
A comprehensive real-time remote monitoring system and intelligent video surveillance technologies has revolutionized the management of carparks. 360° panoramic CCTV provides wide-area coverage and minimizes blind spots. Meanwhile, CCTV can identify abnormal behaviors automatically and issue alerts to notify management personnel promptly. Administrators can monitor carparks in real-time by remote monitoring devices to provide quick responses to any emergencies. Moreover, the surveillance video data can be stored in Cloud, making it easy to access and manage at any time. By integrating AI technology, the data can be intelligently analyzed to identify parking patterns and trends, helping operators to enhance operational efficiency. Overall, CCTV enhances the safety and security of car parks, while also improving user experience and making parking more convenient.
4. Video Intercom System
When vehicles encounter difficulties or emergencies, drivers can quickly seek assistance with a simple touch of the intercom, connecting administrative manuals for real-time video and remote support. The Video Intercom System allows for immediate communication, shortening the response time and enabling management to provide practical solutions based on the current situation.
5. LED Display
LED displays with various sizes, shapes, 4K resolutions, heat resistance and waterproof functions, mainly placed at the entrances and exits of carparks. Operators can remotely manage and control LED displays’content at anytime and anywhere through the Cloud System, providing drivers with parking information, including parking discounts, fee schedules, available parking spaces, time displays, and membership information.
6. Self-Payment Kiosk
Self-Payment Kiosks support both online payment and offline payment as Octopus cards. Online payment offers efficient payment options, allowing drivers to complete transactions on their mobile devices without queuing, while the Octopus card offers an instant payment option. Once payment is completed, drivers can exit easily. Compared to traditional payment methods using cash or credit cards, Self-Payment Kiosks significantly reduce transaction times and queues, providing a seamless parking experience to customers.
Smart parking solutions and new technologies are quickly ushering out the era of traditional carparks, not only enhancing efficiency, maintaining smooth operations, but also integrating various functions such as Automatic License Plate Recognition, real-time monitoring, and data analysis. Unlike traditional carparks that rely on manual processes, Self-Payment Kiosks optimize the payment process, enabling users to complete payment easily without waiting in queues. Smart Parking Solutions are revolutionizing the parking experience, providing seamless entry and exit clearances and hassle-free driving journeys to customers while promoting the development of smart cities.
