What Are the Advantages of LPR System in Smart Parking Systems?

With the accelerating pace of urbanization, the pressure on urban traffic and parking management is increasing. Smart parking systems, as a key way to alleviate parking difficulties, are gradually becoming part of people's lives. License Plate Recognition System(LPR system), as a core component of smart parking systems, plays a vital role. Using advanced image processing and pattern recognition technologies, LPR system automatically identifies vehicle license plates, bringing significant advantages to smart parking systems.

1. LPR technology can significantly improve parking lot efficiency.

In traditional parking lots, vehicles entering and exiting require a card or manual entry, a time-consuming process that can easily lead to queues and congestion, especially during busy times or peak traffic. LPR system changes this situation. Vehicles entering and exiting simply need to drive normally to the recognition area, where the system instantly recognizes the license plate and automatically controls the barrier gate, enabling rapid passage.

2. LPR technology boasts extremely high recognition accuracy.

LPR system maintains consistently high accuracy regardless of day or night, and in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, and fog. It utilizes advanced image pre-processing technology to remove image noise and enhance captured license plate images, improving image quality. Furthermore, deep learning algorithms are incorporated to accurately recognize license plate characters. Even if a license plate is damaged, deformed, or faded, the system's intelligent algorithms analyze and match the license plate number, accurately identifying it.

3. LPR technology provides a strong guarantee for security management.

The LPR system records vehicle entry and exit information in real time, including license plate numbers, entry and exit times, and photos of vehicles entering and exiting. This information can be used for query and tracing, effectively preventing vehicle theft or unverified disputes. Furthermore, through networking with the public security system, the LPR system can automatically identify blacklisted vehicles. If a suspicious vehicle enters the parking lot, the system will immediately sound an alarm and notify security personnel to take action, thereby enhancing the safety of the parking lot and surrounding area.

ZOJE's LPR System includes solutions for entrance and exit parking management, parking guidance systems, on-street parking management, and RF-EV charging management. And it can extract and identify moving license plates from complex backgrounds. Through technologies such as license plate extraction, image preprocessing, feature extraction, and license plate character recognition, it can identify vehicle license plate numbers, color, and other information. The system boasts a 24/7 full-card accuracy rate exceeding 95% (International Traffic Technology specifically discusses this metric). It is widely used in various parking lots and highways. Furthermore, this technology can also be applied to electronic police systems and road monitoring systems, assisting traffic regulators in some countries in handling vehicle violations, reducing workload and significantly improving processing speed and efficiency.

LPR system has demonstrated significant advantages in smart parking systems, revolutionizing parking management. As the technology continues to develop and improve, LPR will play an even more important role in smart parking, bringing greater convenience to people's travel and parking.
