Scans Two Vehicles per Second

autoChalk^® is capable of scanning 2 vehicles per second while driving at city speeds up to 60 km/h (35 mph). If you lined up 7200 vehicles back to back, autoChalk compact’s license plate recognition could scan them within an hour. With this new efficiency and productivity, enforcement officers can cover more ground, scan more vehicles, and provide greater service.

An audible alarm alerts the driver that there is a potential violation or vehicle of interest. The driver then safely pulls over, and verifies potential violations. It’s as easy as pointing at where you want to zoom, and valve stems are easily visible. Officers can then mark the vehicle for post processing, or issue a ticket on the spot with a rugged, mobile printer.

Geofencing and Automatic Parking Zone Sensing

autoChalk^® Compact can adjust its parking duration time automatically depending on the parking zone. Parking zone definitions use a process called geofencing and GIS which are, in general, an important part of parking enforcement, as no two areas necessarily have the same parking rules. Using autoChalk Office, your city street can be zoned down to as small as two parking stalls, each of these zones having their own parking policy.Then, when your enforcement staff are out scanning vehicles, autoChalk Compact will automatically detect which zone it is in and which policy to apply in real-time. autoChalk’s zones can be converted to and from Google Earth/Maps format, to easily review the zones in your area.

Scofflaws and Permits: Checking and Enforcing Hot Lists

Whether your hot lists are stolen vehicles, scofflaws, or you need to check for residential parking permits, autoChalk^® can import appropriate plates lists and check those vehicles. autoChalk has plenty of RAM and processor speed to process as many hot and white lists as you need. Tannery Creek’s license plate cameras employ an LPR engine that works equally well on reflective and non-reflective plates to accurately discern scofflaws, permit holders or overstaying parkers.

Pay by Plate

Paybyplate-right-img To autoChalk^®, paid sessions are just another type of white list. That is, they are a list of vehicles which are validly parked but for a window in time.

autoChalk enforces these with ease in both real-time and post processed, mailout scenarios using our accurate LPR engine. We have many paystation partners integrated already to get you up and enforcing pay by plate in a hurry.
