Introduction

Managing parking on college campuses can often feel like an uphill battle. Long lines for permits, parking violations piling up (along with appeals), and overwhelmed security teams are common pain points we hear from our clients. At OperationsCommander, we understand these challenges and have developed a virtual, data-driven parking management platform to transform your campus parking experience.

Eliminating Long Lines with Automation

One of the biggest frustrations for students, faculty, and visitors is waiting in long lines at the parking and security office for permits or to appeal tickets. With OperationsCommander, you can eliminate these lines altogether. Our platform offers automated solutions for ticketing, permit management, and appeals, allowing everyone to handle these tasks online. This reduces in-office traffic, making the process more efficient and less stressful for everyone involved.

Imagine a campus where parking permits and appeals are handled quickly and seamlessly without the need for long lines. OperationsCommander makes this a reality.

Enhancing The Parking Experience with Self-Service Solutions

Parking can often be frustrating, but it doesn’t have to be. OperationsCommander’s platform simplifies the process of finding and paying for parking. Our automated ticketing and permit management system reduces stress and makes the parking experience easier for students, staff, and visitors. Whether it’s students who don’t have time to wait in a long line for a permit, faculty needing convenient parking, or visitors navigating the campus for the first time, our system caters to all user types with a seamless, self-service solution.

Additionally, OperationsCommander’s Text2Park.Me and QR Code Payment options make it easier for temporary parkers to purchase permits and extend parking times. Users can pay for parking from anywhere using any SMS-enabled phone or by scanning a QR code, eliminating the need to search for payment terminals. This innovative approach ensures a smooth and efficient parking experience for everyone on campus.

Revolutionizing Parking Enforcement with LPR Technology

License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology is a game-changer for parking enforcement on college campuses. LPR cameras, such as the Survision PicoPak, automatically read vehicle license plates and cross-reference them with your database, eliminating the need for physical permits and manual checks.

OperationsCommander’s LPR software provides real-time monitoring and instant alerts for unauthorized vehicles, ensuring that only permitted vehicles use your parking facilities.

Key Benefits To LPR/ANPR Technology:

  • Decreased overhead costs through virtual permitting and reduced patrolling resources
  • Increased revenue through improved compliance, fewer scofflaws, and easier violation identification
  • Better parking management with improved access to limited parking spaces
  • Enhanced customer experiences with gate-less entry options for better access to spaces
  • Automatic plate recognition reduces staff overhead and improves operations
  • Maintain vehicle watch lists supplied by local police departments

LPR Tech Also Brings Digital Tire Chalking To Your Operations:

  • Patrol officers can chalk a vehicle using GPS technology and the handheld camera function to tag location information and timestamp of vehicle information.
  • Monitor a vehicle’s location over time, offering better space management by allowing you to see how long a vehicle has been in a single location or a specific zone.
  • Virtually chalking vehicles allows patrol officers to track a vehicle that moves from one location to another within the patrol zone, notifying your patrol team of a vehicle parked beyond their time limit, even if they moved it multiple times.
  • Virtual tire auto-chalk captures license plates to assist with zone enforcement.
  • Track car by license plate as it moves around campus

Imagine efficient parking enforcement, higher compliance, and a focused security team. OperationsCommander’s LPR technology makes this possible.

Lightening the Workload for Your Security Team

Managing parking can be a heavy burden for your security team, but it doesn’t have to be. OperationsCommander is designed to significantly lighten this workload. Our platform offers automated solutions for ticketing, permit management, and real-time vehicle identification, allowing your security team to focus on more critical tasks – such as student safety.

With our License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology, problem vehicles can be identified and addressed in real time, enhancing overall campus security without adding extra strain on your staff. This means your security team can operate more efficiently and effectively, making your campus a safer place.

Manual processes and outdated syncing ability can lead to negligence with all parties involved.  Now, with new tablet technology for violation issuance, you can offer real-time citation updates. This gives enforcement personnel the ability to access specific information with the latest infraction information right in the field.

In addition to the added benefits of Android features, such as speech-to-text for license plate input, GPS monitoring is also available. This can link citations to show where the majority of violations are occurring. Now, your enforcement officers are more productive than ever before. With the most up-to-date citation history throughout the shift, enforcement personnel have the resources to take appropriate actions and create legitimate fines while reducing appeals with overwhelming photo and GPS evidence.

Embracing a Fully Virtual Parking Environment

Imagine a campus where physical permits are a thing of the past and in-office traffic is greatly reduced. With OperationsCommander, this vision can become a reality. Our fully virtual, LPR-based parking environment eliminates the need for physical permits, making parking management more efficient and environmentally friendly. This not only streamlines operations but also enhances the overall parking experience for everyone on your campus.

By adopting OperationsCommander, you can modernize your campus parking system, creating a seamless, efficient, and profitable parking environment.
