So, when in a retail environment, users would<br />
no longer need to purchase a ticket from<br />
a machine and then get the cost of it<br />
reimbursed by a cashier inside the store?<br />
That’s right. Customers would no longer have the<br />
inconvenience of needing loose change to purchase a<br />
ticket, as <strong>iNPR</strong> automatically tracks their movements.<br />
What would happen if a car has more than<br />
one passenger whereby one person goes into the<br />
facility but another passenger goes off-site?<br />
As long as one of the passengers from the vehicle<br />
visits the facility, then that’s fi ne. Our <strong>iNPR</strong> system<br />
follows and tracks all passengers entering and exiting<br />
a vehicle to determine if they are a ‘genuine user’.<br />
This would satisfy customer only parking rules and<br />
so a parking charge notice would not need to be<br />
issued in this instance.<br />
What happens if you lose the video feed of<br />
a person or a vehicle behind a larger vehicle<br />
or object? How are they then picked up and<br />
tracked again?<br />
It is possible that <strong>iNPR</strong> cameras could occasionally<br />
be unable to track users or vehicles if the cameras<br />
are blocked. We will conduct a full site survey and it is<br />
our aim to have multiple cameras in different locations<br />
within the car park so this will only happen rarely.<br />
But wouldn’t that potentially highlight<br />
a ‘non-user’ scenario in error?<br />
If there is any uncertainty about a parking charge<br />
issued with <strong>iNPR</strong> technology, we have a dedicated<br />
team who will check and review the footage on your<br />
behalf. This can be shared and will determine whether<br />
or not the vehicle was in breach of the published<br />
parking conditions. As a client you can decide if<br />
you would like to withdraw the parking charge.<br />
What happens if a vehicle breaks down in<br />
the car park and the driver doesn’t enter<br />
the facility?<br />
We would always encourage the driver of a broken<br />
down vehicle to notify the site management of their<br />
situation. As long as the driver goes into the store<br />
they wouldn’t be classed as a non-customer. It is<br />
at the discretion of the site manager to decide if a<br />
parking charge should be issued.<br />
What if a vehicle returns to the same car<br />
park several times a day. I’ve heard that the<br />
first entry and last exit are only considered<br />
when calculating the duration of time spent<br />
in the car park?<br />
Unlike legacy ANPR, the new <strong>iNPR</strong> technology<br />
records video footage. It not only tracks the<br />
vehicle entering and exiting the car park,<br />
but also demonstrates where it was parked<br />
and the duration at all times in between.<br />
