7 Virtual Permits Parking with no Permit? Virtual Permits are the answer! To make full use of electronic and web services virtual or e-permits are the way forward. This has major benefits in reducing costs, administration and they are environmentally friendly. Real-time updates to the enforcement operator s handheld device Integrated with ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) As the traditional method of identifying vehicles by displaying a hardcopy permit subsides, virtual permits are key to the future of parking management in reducing cost and being more environmentally friendly. The problem arises in maintaining a customer and client focused operating system to ensure the management and issue of permits is controlled and easy to use. In practice the car registration plate becomes the permit. Once the car registration plate is registered with parkbytext the vehicle can be parked within the rules at that location. Primarily the registering of vehicles should be online but applications via post or in person may be need to be adopted for customers without access to the internet. Renewals can also be done by , text, or post on request. parkbytext fully integrates with our whitelist POAM tool which allows for the ease of web-based reports, interfacing with the enforcement operator s handheld device and providing the client with the ability to monitor and manage the level of permit issues and income. In summary virtual permits by parkbytext are advantageous as they: Reduced costs for administration and stationery Are environmentally friendly Fully integrated with the Whitelist power management tool Online web-based reporting Enforcement and management are made more efficient Can be used with ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) systems

8 Visitor Text Service parkbytext visitor text service uses mobile phone short code technology to record a visitor parking session via the whitelist management system. The visitor text service provided by parkbytext can alleviate the need for temporary paper permits, administration, and phone calls whilst generating automated reports and income with just a small charge to the driver by text! A simple text generated by the motorist will update their details to our database e.g. temp 1005 (location code) abc1234 (vehicle registration). Once captured the information is instantly updated to CEO s handheld, PDA, iphone or other smartphone device. Parking durations can be set for specified times e.g. hourly, daily or for a number of minutes as required and rules such as maximum usage per week can also be added. Reports can then be generated via the whitelist management system to track all vehicles registered and monitor payment levels. Texts can also be supplemented with premium rate phone numbers to automatically record vehicle details by voice over IVR if so required. This simple payment and registration method allows for a powerful management tool for the local authority / property owner. It also provides a low cost payment solution to the motorist where parking charges are not solely required and identification is key. Additionally there is a substantial saving in back office cost, stationery and parking equipment maintenance. Trouble monitoring visitor or temporary spaces both long or short stay? Need a solution to track motorcycle bay usage but not penalise the motorcyclist? Want to build an automatic database o parking usage and patterns both on and off street?
