Revcon Technology Group, US-based turnkey parking systems provider, has installed licence plate recognition (LPR) systems from Hi-Tech Solutions (HTS), in several parking garages in Chicago.

The LPR systems are integrated into a new overall parking management and revenue control system provided by TIBA Parking Solutions. Revcon says the HTS LPR system assists the garage operators to increase revenues with more accurate processing, auditing, control and billing functionality, as well as reduce loses due to less tailgating, lost tickets and ticket switching occurrences, enhancing both self-park, valet and hotel operations.
The vehicle plate number is read by the LPR devices and printed on the ticket dispensed at the entrance lanes to the parking facilities, and is used as the identifier throughout the parking transaction, further providing the ability to accurately calculate lost ticket values.
The entire operation is monitored from a central command centre, enabling greater efficiency and level of service. In addition, there is exception handling from this center after hours which helps reduce labour costs, enhances the customer experience and improves the overall return on investment.
The HTS "All in One" embedded edge processing unit has been deployed at the entrance and exit lanes of these garages, providing both the licence plate information and an overview image of the vehicle for the parking lot operator's records.
John Whiteman, CEO of HTS Americas, commented, "We are thrilled by the success that Revcon has found through the combination of the latest technologies available for parking control and the differentiation our solution offers the market in price, performance and profit improvement. Teaming with Revcon in one of the most demanding and challenging parking markets in the county has been a great experience”.
"The HTS LPR solution has become the perfect companion piece to all of our installations. HTS’s utilisation of state of the art technology coupled with durable high quality design is very impressive. Our customers are pleased with the increased functionality the HTS LPR provides, and so am I," added Scott Fisher, president of Revcon Technology Group.
HTS has recently been awarded a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for its licence plate character recognition systems, covering its system for providing automatic character recognition and specifically, the multi-level neural network-based characters identification methods and system.
