Time-limit enforcement for car parks without boom gates
It All Begins Here
Open car park monitoring, with no barriers to install
Most council car parks were never designed for boom gates, which leaves their time limits relying on the occasional patrol. PLANER brings the same vehicle tracking used on the street into open car parks, picking up overstays automatically and showing your team how each car park is really being used.
Key features:
Entry, stay and exit recorded for every vehicle
Overstays detected automatically against posted limits
Occupancy and usage reporting on the council dashboard
No barriers, ticket machines or bay sensors required
The problem
Commuters and all-day parkers fill short-stay car parks meant for shoppers, library visitors and sports families, because they know a ranger rarely comes through. Installing boom gates is expensive, changes how the site feels and often isn't practical on an open lot. Councils are left with limits on a sign that few people take seriously.
Gate-free, from entry to exit
Record entry. Each vehicle is identified as it enters the car park.
Track the stay. PLANER measures how long each vehicle remains against the limit for that car park.
Flag overstays. Vehicles over the limit appear on the dashboard with an evidence package ready.
Enforce and report. Rangers are sent to confirmed overstays, and usage data builds up for planning decisions.
-
Consistent enforcement frees up spaces for the visitors your car park is meant to serve.
-
Drivers come and go freely, and your site keeps its open, easy layout.
-
Occupancy and length-of-stay data shows which car parks are under pressure and when.
FAQs
Do drivers need to do anything differently? No. Drivers park as they always have. PLANER records each vehicle automatically as it enters and leaves.
Can one system cover both a car park and nearby streets? Yes. Car parks and kerbside areas can be managed from the same council dashboard, so your team has one view of the whole precinct.
