With the increasing number of vehicles on the roads, manual parking regulation has become challenging for enforcement officers. Without a technology-driven enforcement system to easily identify vehicles, officers must inspect them physically and issue parking tickets manually. Needless to say, the conventional methods of enforcing parking regulations are costly and require significant human involvement. This places a considerable burden on city administrations in terms of manpower costs.
Implementing advanced AI-enabled smart parking solutions like iPAM is vital to overcome this challenge. Parking enforcement with iPAM can help streamline parking lot operations, such as cashless payment options, billing, vehicle registration and monitoring parking spaces.
Benefits of Parking Enforcement with iPAM
The iPAM system utilizes advanced high-definition cameras and an AI engine to instantly identify the presence and availability of parking spaces in real-time. Furthermore, it leverages computer vision technology to capture and interpret license plate numbers of vehicles accurately and charge the customers accordingly on their parking duration.
It is the first smart parking solution designed for parking managers and traffic enforcers besides drivers. Its benefits for parking enforcement officers include the following:
1. Gives Important Parking Insights
The iPAM system dashboard functions as an administration panel, providing managers and administrators with a range of capabilities. It helps them monitor the parking lots through live streams from installed cameras. The dashboard also facilitates the receipt of notifications, such as alerts for detected vehicles of interest. The iPAM system dashboard offers valuable insights and metrics tailored to specific users. It provides curb and street parking insights for town or city managers to support their livability and sustainability goals.
2. Ensures Effective Enforcement through Integration with Agencies
iPAM offers seamless integration with various agencies’ systems to access vehicle blacklists and whitelists. Through integration with police departments, it incorporates vehicle lists related to Vehicle of Interest (VOI) and Be On the Lookout (BOLO) and sends alerts if such vehicles are detected. iPAM can be integrated with fire stations, hospitals and educational institutions for fire trucks, ambulances and school bus lists. This can help manage their data by recording regular entries. Moreover, vehicles enter and exit parking lots and park conveniently during critical times. The solution can connect with RMV/DMV/MVA/NMVTIS database to access vehicle owner information, which can help enforcement agencies to flag vehicles whose licenses are not renewed. This comprehensive integration enhances iPAM’s functionality and enables effective enforcement based on up-to-date information from various agencies.
3. Empowers Parking Officers to Manage Violations Efficiently
iPAM’s monitoring and enforcing parking violations feature can benefit town and city managers and law enforcement agencies. It can detect unauthorized vehicles in parking spots reserved for handicapped or specially-abled people and send alerts. By analyzing time stamps, video footage and parking duration data, iPAM can identify BOLOs and VOIs. Additionally, iPAM employs AI-driven insights to monitor habitual parking offenders, enabling pattern analysis. Violation alerts can prompt messages to boot or tow management services for necessary action. iPAM also provides violators a platform to view their violations, evidence, raise disputes, and update information based on hearings.
In fast-growing smart cities, managing parking enforcement with iPAM can help officers and regulating authorities streamline operations and reduce labor costs. It can help parking lot operators provide smart services to enhance the overall driving experience while maintaining the safety of the parking spaces.
