Mobile parking app improves parking enforcement

A new mobile parking application launched by American Roads Technologies enables parking enforcement agencies to enforce parking violations through smart phones, tablets and other mobile devices using multiple platforms such as iOS and 1812 Android.

Unlike existing parking apps that allow people to avoid feeding the meter to pay for on-street parking, the app not only allows people to locate parking spots and pay for parking, but it also permits municipalities, universities or parking agencies to enforce parking violations in real time.

“Mobile technology has become a key driver in creating greater efficiencies in not only tolling but in other ways such as parking and enforcement of parking violations,” said Neal Belitsky, president of American Roads Technologies. “The growth of mobile technology, including smart phones and tablets, has made our company re-think how we can interact with our customer. In developing a strategy for our own toll roads, we created a product that can be used by others in becoming more efficient by embracing existing and emerging technology.”

    Amsterdam had taken the final step in digitising parking and parking enforcement and the move is paying dividends. It was almost a decade ago that the City of Amsterdam decided to start the evolution - or maybe even a revolution – of its parking enforcement: it got rid of the paper parking permit or ticket behind the windscreen and introduced the digital parking right. It was the first step on a bumpy but successful road to digitization, resulting in a fore running position in on street parking enforcement.
