TRAKAID’s ParkTrack solution is offered as Software-as-a-Service for gated and non-gated parking lots. For gated parking lots, vehicles with authorized RFID tags are allowed entry and drivers of vehicles without tags need to take the parking ticket. For non-gated parking lots, a parking officer uses the simple and complete handheld-based RFID enabled solution to speed up the process for checking automobiles with permit parking and at the same time issue tickets to autos for day parking.

RFID tags - unlike paper permits with or without bar codes - do not require line-of-sight reading, can read tags up to 7 feet away and work in extreme environments. The RFID based solution provides a quick return on investment when a data acquisition task must be performed on a repetitive basis.

Eliminate Repetitive Entry and Fake Permit Parking

Increasing revenue from commuter parking lots isn't a simple task. Counting permit and non-permit cars is manually intensive. Paper parking permits may be easily faked as there is no way to validate individual permits. Issuing handwritten paper tickets, which must be reconciled multiple times, is labor intensive. Finally, it is expensive to count and calculate revenue generated by each permit. As a result, parking lot administrators have high multiple data entry costs, but don’t have accurate usage information. This makes it difficult to issue permits with correct pricing structure – ultimately resulting in a significant cost impact.

Reading, writing and entering data take up much of the workers’ time. Approximately 5% of manual entries are incorrect, which has a huge impact on productivity and results in large losses to the bottom line.

Unique Features

• Complete RFID Solution for gated parking lots

The solution allows interaction with a mounted stationary sensor which permits vehicles with authorized RFID tags entry into a parking lot. This solution also provides tickets to unauthorized vehicles at the gate.

• Complete RFID Solution for non-gated parking lots

The handheld-based RFID solution is practical and cost-effective. RFID permit tags may be read from up to a distance of 7 feet and do not need a line of sight.

• Built-in intelligence for issuing tickets for repeat day parking users

TRAKAID’s ParkTrack solution has built-in intelligence that assists parking officers: once entered, data for daily parking tickets will auto fill a new parking ticket.
