The solution provides a real-time dashboard of parking usage based on license plate recognition and database mapping. Using this dashboard, parking managers can bill more accurately for use as well as determine future parking needs. In addition, the solution informs drivers as to which parking deck has available space, reducing the need for endless parking spot searching and parking abandonment rates. Visionful’s real-time reporting dashboard includes video analytics of:
- Customer usage
- Occupancy rates of change
- Spot availability
- License Plate Recognition
Harmonious with Cloudastructure’s security platform, Visionful’s advanced License Plate Recognition features can be integrated with public safety APIs to alert security personnel to the presence of bad actors on their campuses. The feature provides a unique and vital differentiator between Cloudastructure’s award-winning video surveillance platform and that of competitors.
