Description: In an industry where parking technology is evolving more rapidly than many can wrap their minds around, how does one know what technologies to leverage and how they can truly benefit their organization? The “Utilizing Technology: A How-To Guide on Converting to a Virtual and Electronic Parking Environment” presentation will take attendees behind the scenes regarding how UNC Charlotte decided to use new technology to operate using virtual permits and electronic citations, connect both mobile and fixed license plate recognition (LPR) systems together for complete campus coverage, and how the project was designed and implemented while also discussing lessons learned along the way. At the end of the presentation, attendees should have a clear understanding of what it would take to operate in a virtual and electronic parking environment and if this type of technology is the right fit for their organization.
Objectives:
- Identify processes and technologies that make up a virtual and electronic parking system.
- Identify key talking points that will help make a decision as to if the virtual/electronic environment is the right fit for an organization
- Identify steps needed to develop a formal and effective RFP for a virtual/electronic parking system
