In that case, the driver of a vehicle can<br />
re-visit a car park as many times as<br />
they want without being penalised?<br />
Not quite. As long as they go to the facility each<br />
time they visit, either on arrival or before departure,<br />
then they will be considered as a ‘genuine user’. The<br />
system is designed to manage car parks for ‘genuine<br />
users’ and eliminate visitors who visit the facility one<br />
time but then expect to be able to use the car park<br />
multiple times during the day as a ‘non user’. Any no<br />
return period would be published on the signage.<br />
<strong>iNPR</strong> can also detect and prevent<br />
unauthorised parking, how does that work?<br />
With the latest advancements in technology, we are<br />
now able to detect if a vehicle parks in a place outside<br />
of a legitimate car parking space, using multiple<br />
cameras located on site. For example, if a vehicle<br />
parks on a hatched area, drop off/pick up zone,<br />
parent and child bay or on a double yellow line, we will<br />
be able to identify this. With <strong>iNPR</strong> antisocial behaviour<br />
can also be monitored, reviewed and actioned.<br />
What about if a vehicle parks on a parent<br />
and child bay but doesn’t have any children<br />
with them?<br />
Parent and child car park spaces are designed to be<br />
used only by genuine customers who have young<br />
children with them so as to make their customer<br />
experience easier. Our technology is able to identify<br />
visitors who wrongly park in these reserved spaces.<br />
With the identification of infringements<br />
and non-customer parking, do you consider<br />
<strong>iNPR</strong> to be more of a revenue stream than<br />
a management information tool?<br />
<strong>iNPR</strong> has been created to ensure car parks are being<br />
used fairly and correctly by genuine customers,<br />
alongside giving the sites management team<br />
invaluable reporting data. Parking regulations can<br />
be tailored between a site owner and UK Parking<br />
Control to provide the optimum service solution.<br />
How detailed and useful is the data you provide?<br />
We believe <strong>iNPR</strong> is an advanced management<br />
information tool and provides data that can be used<br />
from a marketing, operational of security perspective.<br />
It provides data to site owners that current ANPR<br />
cannot provide. With this insight into car parks, site<br />
owners can now manage their sites better as they<br />
will have a better understanding of what is happening<br />
and when.<br />
Can you give me some examples of data<br />
that you can provide with <strong>iNPR</strong> technology?<br />
Just a few examples of data we can provide includes<br />
data such as the identification of which store visitors<br />
first enter in large multiple store car park sites; which<br />
stores are directly linked (“from where to where”<br />
analysis); parking heat maps, profiles of repeat visitors<br />
and the determination of the optimum maximum<br />
duration length.<br />
What are the set-up / maintenance cost of<br />
<strong>iNPR</strong> and how would the data be reported?<br />
Setup and maintenance costs are determined following<br />
an initial site survey and will feature in our site report.<br />
Data will be delivered automatically fortnightly, but can<br />
be tailored to meet your requirements.<br />
Does <strong>iNPR</strong> work on all car parks?<br />
Every site is different, we will conduct a comprehensive<br />
site survey with our experienced team to determine<br />
whether or not <strong>iNPR</strong> is suitable for your site. <strong>iNPR</strong><br />
works well on the vast majority of car parks but may<br />
not be suited to all e.g. where there are multiple<br />
entry/exit points. We will always advise when we<br />
think <strong>iNPR</strong> is not commercially/logistically viable.<br />
