CAR PARK SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING ENTRY AND EXIT

摘要

A car park system (10) and a method for facilitating entry to and exit from parking areas of the car park system (10) are described. An entry controller (30) of the entry system (12) has an entry list of license plate characters for vehicles permitted to park without a ticket. An entry camera (36) captures an image of a 10 vehicle to determine, based upon the entry list, whether the vehicle requires a ticket for entry. The license plate characters are then provided to an exit controller (50) at an exit. An exit camera (38) captures an image of a vehicle to enable the exit controller (50) to determine whether the vehicle requires a ticket for exit based upon an exit list stored in association with the exit controller (50).
