Private land, such as the car parks owned by businesses, hospitals, etc., puts rules in place to make sure people can access those services. Parking enforcement is the system put in place to act on those rules, issuing parking charges for those who violate the conditions of using a car park. Simply put, parking enforcement is when landowners put rules in place in their car parks, and those rules are backed up by the solutions and knowledge of a car park enforcement provider. Enforcement covers multiple issues in a car park, from people overstaying or parking in specialised bays they shouldn’t be using, to motorists not paying for parking or using the car park but going elsewhere. These issues all take up space on car parks, creating congestion, queues and frustration that legitimate visitors shouldn’t have to deal with and businesses don’t necessarily have the time to handle themselves. Parkingeye helps businesses to protect their car park through its role as a BPA-approved operator. We use automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology to underpin our solutions to make sure they are accurate and effective against car park abuse. This technology acts as the foundation for everything we do.
