License Plate Recognition (LPR) is an advanced parking technology that reads license plates as virtual permits instead of using paper permits or sticker permits. Virtual Parking Permits utilizes license plate recognition technology on our towing trucks, with two cameras mounted on the truck. The driver scans the license plates, and the system automatically referenced against the parking database to verify a valid virtual permit and the proper parking location for the permit. If the license plate and vehicle information are not associated with a valid virtual permit or the vehicle is parked in the incorrect area, the vehicle is subject to be towed.
