The challenge

‍

Wilson Parking faced several challenges with their traditional parking enforcement system:

‍

• Manual processes: Parking officers had to physically walk around checking plates, which was time-consuming and inefficient.
• Limited database access: The company had restricted access to the motor vehicle database, hindering their ability to issue timely breach notices.
• Scalability issues: As Wilson Parking expanded its operations, manually managing an increasing number of parking sites became increasingly challenging.
• Inefficient data processing: Initial attempts at automation led to high costs due to excessive cloud processing of images.

‍

The solution

‍

Wilson Parking, in collaboration with RUSH, implemented R/VISION, an integrated platform revolutionizing parking enforcement. At the core of this platform is License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology. Cameras strategically placed at parking sites capture vehicle information automatically. This data is then processed through edge computing, where initial plate recognition occurs. By shifting from cloud-based processing to edge computing, data transfer and processing costs are significantly reduced.

‍

R/VISION serves as a crucial intermediary between the cameras and Wilson Parking's enforcement software. It ensures seamless communication and data exchange, enabling efficient enforcement processes. Additionally, R/VISION's scalable infrastructure allows for effortless expansion. New parking sites can be easily added to the system, accommodating growth and changing needs.

‍

The implementation of R/VISION has brought numerous benefits to Wilson Parking. Automated license plate recognition has enhanced accuracy and efficiency, reducing the potential for human error. The integration with enforcement software streamlines workflows, enabling faster and more effective responses to parking violations. Furthermore, the scalable infrastructure provides flexibility, allowing Wilson Parking to adapt to evolving business requirements.

‍

Overall, Wilson Parking's partnership with RUSH and the implementation of R/VISION have significantly improved parking enforcement operations. The platform's advanced technology, cost-effectiveness, and scalability ensure optimal performance, enhanced compliance, and a more efficient parking experience for users.

The outcome

‍

The implementation of R/VISION for enforcement has transformed Wilson Parking's operations in numerous ways:

• Increased efficiency: Wilson Parking has transitioned from labor-intensive manual plate checking to automated, technology-driven processes with R/VISION. This shift has significantly improved operational efficiency, reducing the time and effort required for enforcement activities. Parking enforcement officers can now focus on other essential tasks, such as customer service and dispute resolution.
• Rapid scalability: The scalability of R/VISION has been instrumental in Wilson Parking's rapid conversion. Within just 12 months, the company has expanded from operating LPR technology in 15 sites to approximately 90 sites. The platform's ability to be easily deployed and integrated into existing systems has allowed Wilson Parking to quickly scale its enforcement operations to meet the needs of its growing business.
• Future-ready: R/VISION positions Wilson Parking for future integrations and expansions. The platform's modular design and open architecture allow for seamless integration with other systems, such as access control and payment systems. This flexibility ensures that Wilson Parking can adapt to changing business needs and technological advancements, ensuring its long-term success in the parking industry.
