The solution to vehicle management in parking lots 

Car owners can use WeChat and Alipay to scan QR codes for payment without downloading APP, which is convenient and fast 

Centralized monitoring and management, including entrance and exit videos, equipment operation status, and billing data, etc 

By adopting a mobile charging model and centralized monitoring, we can avoid charging loopholes, reduce the flow of charging media, and lower labor costs 

Automatic license plate recognition, automatic pole lifting, customers no longer need to park or swipe/collect cards, improving traffic efficiency and enhancing customer experience

Characteristics of the Sowell Parking Lot System 

Support centralized control and effectively enhance regulatory efforts

Timely transmit the operation status of various equipment in the parking lot to the monitoring center through the network, and prevent or solve equipment failures in a timely manner. 

Real time transmission of various vehicle entry and exit data, as well as toll data, to the monitoring center for effective supervision and data analysis. 

By installing network cameras at the entrance and exit of the parking lot, real-time videos of the entrance and exit are transmitted to the monitoring center, and abnormal situations are detected in a timely manner.

Support mobile payment mode for fast passage

The system is connected to the import and export license plate recognition system of the parking lot, and the license plate is entered on the official account platform to automatically display the parking time and fee settlement. The owner can pay the fees through WeChat, Alipay and other electronic payment channels, and the vehicles after payment need to leave the site within 15 minutes. 

The mobile payment parking lot charging system does not require the parking lot operation company to build its own cloud platform, and the money is directly connected to the property public account; The car owner does not need to download the APP, follow the official account, bind the license plate and so on, but directly makes mobile payment (can choose according to personal needs)

Support mobile payment mode for fast passage 

The comprehensive recognition rate of license plates with high-definition cameras is over 99%, and they can adapt to various complex environments.

Entry: 

The vehicle reaches the camera recognition area at the entrance of the parking lot, automatically recognizes the vehicle license plate number, and makes a judgment on the vehicle type. 

Internal vehicle: optional for automatic or manual release, with vehicle entry information and images saved in the database. 

Temporary vehicle: optional for automatic or manual release, timing and saving entrance capture images to the database. 

Unable to confirm vehicle: can be manually released, license plate number can be manually entered, license plate number can be manually modified, and recorded in the database.

Appearing: 

Internal vehicle: optional for automatic or manual release, with vehicle entry information and images saved in the database. 

Temporary vehicle: If the fee has been paid, automatic release or manual release can be selected. Timing and saving entrance capture images to the database. If no fee is charged, the license plate recognition will prompt the owner of the parking time and fees to be paid before release. 

Unable to confirm vehicle: can be manually released, manually enter license plate number, record in database, and generate correct fees.

The four major technologies of the system 

Video detection technology: Video detection technology involves setting coils in the video stream to detect and recognize incoming vehicles, analyze them, and provide trigger signals for image acquisition. 

License plate recognition technology: License plate recognition technology is a technology based on computer vision processing, digital image processing, pattern recognition, etc., which processes and analyzes vehicle images or video images captured by cameras to obtain the license plate number of each vehicle, thereby completing the recognition process. It can complete the identification of vehicle identity.

Mobile payment: Online payment is a major business area in the terminal consumer market, and entrance and exit management, as the ultimate industry in the security industry, can provide a convenient and efficient service foundation for terminal payment. The mobile payment parking intelligent management system adopts wireless networking technology, which has the characteristic functions of preventing car owners from evading fees, preventing toll collectors from embezzling ticket funds, avoiding disputes during the charging process, significantly reducing the number of management personnel, and making payment settlement and reconciliation faster and safer. 

Big data and cloud platforms: They provide valuable mining for data storage, retrieval, association, and inference, which are universal in nature. Parking lot cloud platform management breaks the current situation of information silos in individual parking lot systems, and achieves centralized and unified management of multiple parking lots on the same platform.

System advantages 

Prevent arbitrary and incorrect charging: Due to the electronic timing and online payment of the entire parking system, car owners can clearly and intuitively see the specific settlement steps of parking fees, avoiding various drawbacks of traditional manual charging. 

High entry and exit speed: Through video recognition license plate technology, non-stop traffic can be achieved without the need for car owners to collect cards, manual fees, or change, greatly saving car owners time and improving entry and exit speed.

mproving user experience: The mobile payment parking lot system is completed by car owners themselves, allowing them to independently control a series of parking operations. It is clear, intuitive, convenient, and efficient, helping car owners save time and improve their parking experience. 

Saving parking lot costs: Mobile payment parking lots save labor costs for parking lot management personnel, greatly reducing the management and operation costs of parking lots, and increasing parking lot revenue. 

High utilization rate of parking spaces: With a high speed of vehicle entry and exit, car owners can quickly find parking spaces and search in reverse, which increases the utilization rate of parking spaces and reduces the vacancy rate of parking spaces during a series of waiting times for car owners to find and enter traditional parking lots.

System topology 

With the continuous penetration of mobile Internet, cloud computing, big data and other technologies into people's lives, some traditional industries are also actively embracing cloud computing, big data and so on. As for the seriousness of the current parking problem, the parking cloud platform system was born under the birth of mobile Internet, cloud computing, and big data. Therefore, the integration of cloud platform systems into the parking industry makes parking management more convenient and intelligent for the upgrading of parking management.

Principle of License Plate Recognition 

License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology is based on computer technology, image processing technology, and fuzzy recognition to establish a vehicle's feature model and recognize vehicle features, such as license plate, model, color, etc. It is a specialized computer vision system that focuses on specific targets. It can automatically extract license plate images from an image, segment characters, and recognize characters. It uses advanced image processing, pattern recognition, and artificial intelligence technology to process the collected image information. It can automatically recognize the numbers, letters, and Chinese characters of license plates in real time and accurately, and directly provide recognition results, making computerized monitoring and management of vehicles a reality.
