Curbside parking with cameras or handheld terminals

Street parking can run unmanned with cameras, or staffed with handheld terminals in the field.

A camera along the road detects the plate and the parking fee is charged through HGS. The same street can also be charged by staff with a handheld terminal.

Two ways of working

The same curbside parking can be charged in two ways; both run in the same software.

  • By camera, unmanned

    A plate-recognition camera detects the plate and the parking fee is charged through HGS.

  • By handheld terminal, staffed

    Staff scan the plate on the handheld terminal, show the amount, and take payment on site.

Real recording from the field: first a payment with HGS, then opening a session for a vehicle with no parking record.

On-street parking · Field recording

With our in-house software, a camera placed along the road detects the plate and the fee is charged through HGS. Besides the plate recognition cameras, staff can also collect payments with handheld terminals.

  • Plate detection by camera

    A plate recognition camera placed on the road identifies the vehicle and its plate.

  • Payment through HGS

    The fee is charged to the HGS tag.

  • Field payment with a handheld terminal

    Staff scan the plate, show the amount and take the payment on the spot.

How it works

Visiosoft software runs curbside parking both from the camera image and with a handheld terminal in staff hands.

  1. The camera is installed

    Plate recognition cameras are positioned along the road so they can see the on-street parking spaces.

  2. The plate is detected

    AI-assisted software detects the plate of the parked vehicle from the camera image.

  3. The fee is charged via HGS

    The parking fee for the detected plate is collected automatically through HGS.

  4. Staff collection with a handheld terminal

    Staff scan the plate on the handheld terminal, show the amount, and take payment on site. If there is no parking record, a session is opened.

Advantages

  • AI-assisted detection

    In curbside parking spaces, the plate is detected by a camera placed along the road.

  • Automatic charging with HGS

    Thanks to HGS integration, the parking fee is charged automatically based on the detected plate.

  • Staffed field collection

    With handheld terminals, staff can also take non-HGS payments on site.
