Have you ever wondered how it is that you can park in some parking garages or parking lots without a ticket or barrier? The answer is automatic license plate recognition. Mobility Hub Parking Service uses this clever technology to make parking as convenient and stress-free as possible.
Are you wondering how exactly this works? You can find the answer to this question here.
What is behind automatic license plate recognition?
Parking management is changing - to your advantage! Modern technologies are increasingly replacing inconvenient barriers, paper parking tickets and the good old parking disk. The core technology behind this is automatic license plate recognition.
It is also hidden behind abbreviations such as ALPR (Automatic License Plate Recognition) or ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition). Terms such as AVI (Automatic Vehicle Identification) or CPR (Car Plate Recognition) are also sometimes used. Sounds complicated? But it's not! All these terms basically refer to one and the same technology that ensures that parking is seamless and uncomplicated. In German, we often speak of automatic license plate recognition or license plate recognition.

Contact usHow does smart license plate recognition work?
The solution used by Mobility Hub Parking Service is a smart technology that makes your life easier. This is how it works:
- Cameras recognize your license plate: If your car drives into the detection range of a camera at the entrance or exit of a parking lot, the camera recognizes that there is a license plate in its field of vision and takes a photo of the license plate. Important for you: You cannot see who is driving the car or who is sitting in the car! Your privacy remains protected.
- Artificial intelligence reads the license plate number: Artificial intelligence (AI) is used to read your license plate number from the photo. It is then stored together with the exact time of your entry and exit.
Your parking time is calculated: The system uses this data to automatically calculate how long you have been parked. So you can be sure that you only ever pay for the actual parking time.
What else is included in digital parking with Mobility Hub Parking Service?
The practical thing about digital parking is that you as a user hardly notice anything. Important for you:
- Clear signs: These inform you about data protection-compliant license plate recognition and explain the applicable parking rules.
- A camera at the entrance and exit: this scans your license plate - and that's almost it!
The intelligent software does the rest in the background. For example, it can easily and reliably ensure that a maximum parking time is adhered to - without the need for a parking disk!
If ALPR is used in paid parking areas, touchscreen-controlled machines with simple menu navigation are also available in most cases. In most cases, you can also conveniently pay for your parking stay using your smartphone. This makes parking particularly flexible and modern.

Rule violations are automatically recorded with ALPR, which leads to fair and efficient use of parking spaces. In parking lots where parkers have to buy a parking ticket immediately after entering and display it clearly in their vehicle, checks are usually only carried out sporadically. This tempts individuals to refrain from buying a parking ticket - often with no consequences. Even in free parking areas where a maximum parking time applies, which is monitored by means of parking disks, checks are not normally carried out continuously. Some people take advantage of this and park their vehicles there permanently. The digital, barrier-free system, which works with ALPR, records the license plates of all passing vehicles at the entrance and exit. Those who violate the applicable rules receive a contractual penalty. The advantage: there are always enough parking spaces available for paying parking lot users and those who adhere to maximum parking times.
Mobility Hub Parking Service ensures that you always find a parking space when shopping
Let's take the example of a DIY store: visitors from nearby events often occupied the customer parking spaces permanently, which frustrated DIY store customers looking for a parking space. Controlling the maximum parking time with parking disks did nothing to change this.
Mobility Hub Parking Service now ensures that the maximum free parking time is observed. For this purpose, all license plates of cars entering and leaving the car park are automatically recorded. The system compares whether the vehicles comply with the specified maximum parking time. If third-party parkers exceed the parking time, they receive a contractual penalty.
The result for you as a customer: the parking lot becomes unattractive for third-party parkers and you can find a free parking space more easily! This ensures a relaxed shopping and parking experience. And if your visit to the DIY store takes longer, you can easily extend the maximum free parking time in the store.
