License Plate Recognition For Mobile

Enforceup-rightimg autoChalk^® Mobile is an award-winning, mobile enforcement platform. autoChalk recognizes infracting vehicles by using a combination of license plate recognition (LPR) and vehicle recognition technology to accurately determine plate, color, contour and length of each scanned vehicle. Snow covering license plates? No problem! autoChalk will still recognize and detect overstaying vehicles. Using industry leading GPS technology, autoChalk narrows a vehicle’s location to typically within two meters (7 feet) even in urban settings and under dense foliage.

Scans Two Vehicles per Second

autoChalk^® is capable of scanning 2 vehicles per second while driving at speeds up to 60 km/h (35 mph). If you lined up 7200 vehicles back to back, autoChalk mobile’s license plate recognition could scan them within an hour.

Rugged and Reliable

Rugged-right-img Tannery Creek researches and tests all of our components to build the toughest and best equipment to help ensure you are up and running 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. autoChalk is currently used in the frigid winter temperatures of Saskatoon, SK to the hot summer climate of Dallas, TX. Whether your location is cold at -30C (-22 F) or hot at 50C (122F), autoChalk has you covered.

Rugged-leftt-img
All equipment is housed in tough watertight protective cases to keep harsh elements out. With such rugged housings, autoChalk’s mobile license plate cameras can recognize plates in snow, rain and fog. If you can see it with your eye, chances are that autoChalk’s ALPR can too. Even if snow is covering the license plate, the vehicle recognition system can still log the vehicles for review, capturing almost all vehicles.

Easy to Use

Tannery Creek’s engineers are passionate about making easy to use equipment. We listen to the suggestions of our customers to help create the best user experience. Since autoChalk^® is a fully heads up system, your drivers keep their eyes safely on the road.

Easytouse-left-img
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.

Detects Vehicles with Missing and Unreadable plates

autoChalk^® Mobile uses Tannery Creek’s patented “size, shape and color” vehicle recognition technology to match vehicles apparently overstaying. This new and innovative technique can detect vehicles even when a license plate is not visible, e.g. when snow covered.

Some drivers try to thwart LPR by covering their license plates or perhaps they have accidentally covered their plate with a bike rack? Either way, autoChalk will detect them.

autoChalk^® detects and scans over 99% of parallel parked vehicles! And to catch cheaters, autoChalk Mobile can “audit” unreadable plates by prompting the PEO, for example with every third non-read. Intervals are configurable.

Geofencing and Automatic Parking Zone Sensing

autoChalk^® Mobile 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 Mobile 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.

Digital Chalking

Tannery Creek’s autoChalk excels in determining overstaying vehicles. Using our proprietary vehicle recognition technology, autoChalk is immune to snow, dirt, and most forms of cheating. Called digital chalking or electronic chalking, autoChalk employs cameras and lasers and a survey quality GPS to trigger on and compare current observed vehicles to the previous vehicle and its exact GPS location. Fast and user friendly, autoChalk is a heads up system, making digital chalking fast, safe and effective.

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.

What About Pay By Space?

Pay by space enforcement is a difficult challenge to automate with GPS being inaccurate in multi-path environments such as downtown cores with tall buildings. However, autoChalk has patent-pending technology that can resolve parked vehicle locations accurate to the space: even in the most challenging GPS environments! Contact us for more information on this unique challenge and ground breaking parking enforcement solution.
