RSS251 Parkeon is partnering with 5194 Ranger Services, a specialist in the development and application of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology, for the latest version of its ANPR-based off-street parking solution.

ParkReg is Parkeon’s successor to ParkingPal, the back-office solution for which the company developed its innovative Strada Touch payment terminal with a full colour 7” touch screen and electronic keyboard.

In 2003, Ranger Services was the first company in the UK to use ANPR for car park enforcement, and currently operates over 700 sites nationwide, having captured over one billion number plates in 2011.

The partners claim that the combination of Parkeon’s Strada Touch terminal and ANPR technology provides an innovative car park management solution that can be operated with or without barriers. It gives drivers the option to ‘Pay-on-Arrival’ or ‘Pay-on-Departure’, whilst parking enforcement may be fully automated with varying levels of severity. The technology also opens up communications to registered users, enabling shopping centre retailers and car park operators to send them ‘welcome’ text messages and information on promotions via various channels.
