University Parking Enforcement is a Genetec
Patroller™ software installation that is configured
for university parking enforcement: the enforcement of scheduled parking permits or
overtime restrictions. The use of maps is mandatory. Hotlist functionality is also
included.
University parking differs from City parking in several ways. With University parking:
- You apply a permit restriction to one or more permit lists, to specify where and when
the permits apply.
- You can enforce overtime rules or permit restrictions for a selected parking lot, but
not both at the same time.
- Wheel imaging is not supported.
Example
The following examples show when you would use an overtime rule, and when you would use
a permit restriction:
Overtime rule:
A university campus has several parking lots reserved for students and faculty, but
also has conveniently located parking areas that are used by delivery vehicles for the
loading or unloading of equipment.
Using an overtime rule, you can allow any vehicle
to park in the loading area at any time of day, but only for a limited time (for
example, 20 minutes). A vehicle parked longer than 20 minutes is in violation of the
overtime rule. This results in an overtime hit in Genetec
Patroller™. In this example, you don’t need a permit
restriction because any vehicle can park, but only for a limited time.
Permit restriction:
A university parking lot can be used by both faculty and students, but at different
times. Faculty can park on weekdays from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., while students can park
from 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. This reserves the prime parking spaces for the university’s
faculty, but still allows students convenient parking during peak class hours. You
wouldn’t be able to create this parking scenario with an overtime rule. You need a
permit restriction and associated permit lists. Vehicles without a permit, with an
expired permit, or parked at the wrong time, are in violation of the permit restriction.
This results in a permit hit in Genetec
Patroller™.
