License Plate Recognition (LPR) for Smarter Parking Enforcement

Automate parking enforcement with real-time license plate recognition that reduces errors, improves compliance, and streamlines operations.

Automate Enforcement. Improve Efficiency. Ensure Compliance.

Parking enforcement can be complex and time-consuming. With T2 Systems’ License Plate Recognition (LPR) solution, you can automate enforcement, reduce errors, and ensure fair compliance. Our automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) technology integrates seamlessly with T2 Flex® and UPsafety® to deliver real-time enforcement data for universities, municipalities, and private operators.

How LPR Works

T2’s LPR system can be deployed as either:

  • Mobile LPR — mounted on enforcement vehicles to scan plates in real time while patrolling streets, lots, and campuses.
  • Fixed LPR — installed at garages or surface lots to automatically capture and verify license plates at entry and exit points.
  • Handheld LPR — equips officers on foot with portable devices to quickly capture and verify plates in areas vehicles can’t access.

Using advanced license plate recognition cameras, LPR scans plates in real time and automatically cross-references them with T2 Flex® or UPsafety®, checking for:

  • Paid parking sessions
  • Valid permits
  • Expired or unpaid plates
  • Identify boot or tow eligible vehicles

If a violation is detected, officers are instantly notified and can issue a citation with the press of a button.

Benefits of LPR for Parking Enforcement

Boost Efficiency and Accuracy

Replace manual permit checks and tire chalking with automated plate recognition. Officers cover more ground in less time while reducing errors.

Achieve More with Fewer Resources

By automating enforcement tasks, agencies can cover more areas with fewer personnel — reducing labor costs while maintaining or even improving compliance rates.

Enhance Customer Experience

Fair, consistent enforcement builds trust. Digital citations reduce disputes and make the process more transparent.
