SmartParking · oPlate recognition at the lane

Every vehicle through the lane gets a plate, a photo and a record.

An edge AI box at the lane reads the license plate on the spot. The SmartParking server matches the plate with the card, calculates the fee, commands the boom barrier and records every transaction. Attendants only need a browser; owners see every site on one screen.

04 Technology know-how

Lanes jam on the odd cases. These ones are already handled.

A good parking system does not only work when everything goes smoothly. Here are situations attendants meet every day and how SmartParking handles them.

CA-01

Plate read differently at entry and exit

Strict fuzzy matching; a mismatch keeps the barrier closed until the attendant confirms.

CA-02

Vehicle enters without tapping a card

Recorded as the vehicle leaves the frame; a late card tap joins the same transaction.

CA-03

Lost card, wrong card

A dedicated flow right on the lane screen, with no manual data edits.

CA-04

Bicycles and vehicles without plates

A dedicated flow, so the lane never stalls waiting for a plate.

CA-05

Slow network, attendant clicks open twice

The same action opens the barrier only once; every manual opening has a reason in the log.

CA-06

Server restarts while a vehicle is in the lane

Lane state is rebuilt; entries left hanging too long are closed automatically.

CA-07

Special plates that are often misread

A reference plate list replaces recurring misreads.

CA-08

Headlight glare at night, speed bumps mistaken for plates

Glare reduction and static-object learning on the AI box; junk reads are dropped before sending.

06 FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to install software on the lane computer?
No. The lane operations screen runs in a browser, even on a phone. If the attendant station fails, switch to another device, sign in again and carry on.
Where is the license plate read?
Right on the edge AI box at the lane, by the oPlate recognition software. The AI box sends the result with photos to the SmartParking server, which matches it with the card, calculates the fee and commands the barrier.
What if the internet connection is unreliable?
For sites that need to be self-sufficient, the SmartParking server can sit at the car park so lanes run on the local network; data is reported to the central server whenever the connection is available.
How does an operator with several sites manage them?
Each site is a branch with its own gates and lanes. Managers see revenue, transactions and device status for every branch on one screen, within the permissions they are granted.
How are face images handled?
Face capture is optional and set per lane. Sensitive images can only be viewed by authorised users, and every view is logged.
Can we reuse our existing cameras and barriers?
A technician will survey the equipment already on site. SmartParking can control Hikvision and Dahua cameras; everything else is assessed during the survey.
