If your business offers parking areas to customers, then you will require a cost-effective and secure parking control solution for your facility. Whether it is for an office building, residential condominium, gated community, hotel, RV camp, stadium or university, an intelligent parking control system will provide efficiency, safety, and security for both your clients and their vehicles.

How does Parking Control reduce operating costs and increase revenue?

When you manage a busy parking lot that provides around the clock access with multiple entry and exit gates, staffing each gate with attendants is a costly expense. With a Parking Control system, the entire parking facility can be unmanned, providing a highly economical way to operate the parking facilities of your property. In addition, there is the ability to monitor and log parking duration and frequency to automatically bill parking charges, ensuring revenue is collected regularly.

How Parking Control ensure safety and security?

The safety and security of parked vehicles is a top priority. Using a Parking Control system, movement of vehicles can be identified and tracked which ensures the security of all vehicles. Access to and from the parking area can also be controlled based on predetermined times authorized by the system administrator, and activity at parking barriers can trigger surveillance cameras to record vehicle movement. This adds up to a safe and secure environment for all vehicles on premises.

How does Parking Control improve customer service?

Long queues to exit parking lots and cumbersome payment processing methods lead to frustrated customers. A Parking Control system offers the automation of in and out payments and reduces customer queues when exiting. By relieving congestion within parking areas, customers naturally become more satisfied.

Parking Control provides the answers to businesses that frequently ask these questions when searching for an automated parking solution:

• We need to have improved control of our parking operation
• We want to ensure the security of the parking facilities on our university campus
• We require a way to combine parking control with revenue collection
• We need to be able to capture all vehicles, their location on the lot, and time and date of entry/exit
• We want to control the time that certain vehicles can enter or leave our parking facility
• We’d like to have a way to see all vehicles present in our facility, in real-time
• We plan to eliminate both manual record keeping and manned stations from our parking lot operation
• We want to be able to display real-time parking display boards that show our customers the number of empty parking spaces currently available at every level within our busy shopping center

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Parking Control is the solution that provides the answers to all of these challenging questions.

The GAO Short Range Event Management System is one of the Passive RFID versions available for use when planning your event. Using the 125 KHz and 13.56 MHz frequencies, the system utilizes both high and low radio frequencies.

The GAO Short-Range Parking Control System is one of two Passive RFID versions available. The Short-Range System uses two distinct radio frequencies: low frequency and high frequency.  The low frequency system uses the 125 KHz frequency, while high frequency system is based on 13.56 MHz.

A Short-Range Parking Control System requires a near-touch reading distance of 2-6 cm. Short-range access is most effective for applications where an economical solution is required. Using an RFID badge, vehicle operators tap for access at close proximity. The result is a simple and efficient unmanned operation that provides secure access to parking facilities.

The Bottom Line
The GAO Short-Range Parking Control System lets you:

• Economically enjoy the benefits of RFID parking control
• Control parking access to buildings and restricted areas
• Log vehicle parking data for detailed reporting
