Introducing the AutoFind System:AutoFind is the world’s first Mobile License Plate Recognition (MLPR) solution designed specifically for parking enforcement applications. The AutoFind system (with ‘hot-list’ application) will provide enhanced productivity by allowing your enforcement officers to cover larger beats and issue a greater number of citations in less time than current practices.
AUTOFIND FOR ON-STREET PARKING ENFORCEMENT
AutoFind for Parking Enforcement will greatly enhance:
· Efficiency- Fewer officers can cover larger patrol areas in less time.· Parking control- Zones using parking permits and time-limited spaces.· Revenues-Quicker identification and issuance of a greater number of citations.· Security- Rapid, automated detection of ‘wanted’ vehicles.AutoFind Description:
The AutoFind system is a mobile solution that integrates License Plate Recognition (LPR) and Global Positioning (GPS) technologies to provide a complete and accurate parking enforcement solution.
AutoFind automates current enforcement processes (tire-chalking, booting) by quickly capturing license plate data of parked cars and automatically identifying parking by-law infractions.
As the AutoFind-equipped vehicle drives along a street, it reads and digitally stores license plate information and vehicle location. When the AutoFind unit returns to the same location at a later time, the operator is alerted when the system identifies a vehicle that has been parked for longer than the maximum allotted time.
AutoFind’s second application matches vehicle plate reads against a ‘hot-list’ database comprised of scofflaws, stolen vehicles, etc. Again, when a match is found, the system will alert the driver that a ‘wanted’ vehicle has been detected.
