Easy-to-integrate OEM parking management kit

Embedded imaging expert Vision Components from Germany has developed Carrida Parking Management: a flexible fully automatic stand-alone ALPR/ANPR SW module for parking management on company grounds (e.g. banks, airports, hotels, ports), in residential areas, or shopping malls.

The OEM solution automatically recognizes all plates displayed in one image and vehicle plates in several lanes simultaneously. The system comprises Vision Components’ own Carrida Cam in combination with a web-based parking management software module. It allows for comfortable remote access via Web GUI, for instance from tablets or other handhelds, and runs in networks with other equipment such as under vehicle scanners (UVSS), ticket printers, and barriers.

The tool detects and reads license number plates on vehicles approaching a barrier or gate, then processes the data and decides on a subsequent action (e.g. opening or closing a gate) based on a black/white list. Detailed lists allow access monitoring via number plate logging, vehicle color, vehicle type, and many more.

Carrida parking management works 24/7 all year round in any weather or lighting conditions and integrates a worldwide ALPR/ANPR data bank for number plates from different countries. It reliably identifies even dirty, damaged, or skewed number plates with a typical processing time of 150 ms and a typical recognition accuracy of more than 96%.

Carrida parking management is easy-to-integrate into existing barrier systems or infrastructures but can also be deployed separately. Multiple cameras with a master-slave configuration control all exits and entrances in any given application. A real-time clock ensures internal data logging with precise time stamping. All collected data is archived and available for statistics and monitoring. Carrida software can be customized and adapted according to application requirements and is optionally available inside a board or cased camera.
