Parking Enforcement

Automate the Parking Citation Process Increase revenue and decrease cost by enforcing parking rules effectively. Most municipalities use a paper-based system to enforce regulations. Parking enforcement officers write out tickets in a serialized book; once back at the station these tickets are then entered into the main system by data entry clerks. While this system works, it has many areas where human error, in both typos and illegible handwriting can open the door to parking citations being lost and/or thrown out in court. In addition, the second step of manual data entry is redundant and time consuming, delaying the process of bringing in revenue.

The Solution

By automating the process, a parking enforcement officer enters all of the information on a handheld device, either through drop-down list functionality, scanning barcodes, or by handkeying. Once the information is entered, including the location of the violation, the violation type, as well as the violating vehicles information, a citation is printed on the portable Zebra printer which is then left on the violator’s windshield.Upon returning to the station, the parking enforcement officer simply drops their Dolphin 9500 into its cradle and the information is transmitted back to the system.What used to take hours to re-enter by hand can now be done in a matter of seconds. This cuts the time it takes a ticket enter into the main system from around 10 days to being entered in at the end of each officers shift.
