Drive-by Digital Tire Chalking using autoChalk!
The Challenge
If your PEO's are walking
manually chalking vehicles, then you've got a problem. Labor intensive,
injury prone, citation quality, confrontations and bad weather are just a few of
the challenges you face in policing street parking. Tannery Creek Systems' autoChalk™ revolutionizes your chalking tasks.
Increased
Productivity, More Revenue, Less Costs
Using our state-of-the-art digital imaging technology, autoChalk detects parking time violations while scanning at normal traffic
speed (30 mph or 50 km/h) up to 8 feet (2.5 m) away. Productivity of
PEO's quadruples, with more revenue, less costs, reduced injury and
improved working conditions.
PEO's using motorized vehicles with chalk sticks
also strongly benefit. One of the greatest hazards of using chalk
sticks in a moving PEO vehicle is colliding with exiting vehicles or
impacting open drivers' doors. Additionally, the PEO must both watch
the road and watch for chalk marks simultaneously. This is worsened
when the PEO must chalk the side of the street opposite to their
favored hand.
Does rain slow you down and turn chalk into wet clay?
Are rainy days a total write-off?
Tannery Creek's autoChalk solves these problems and more, and does it at 30 mph (50 km/h) while driving in the
next lane.
How Does It Work?
autoChalk uses a new and innovative method of image
analysis
without the need for license plate recognition. Using the vehicle's
shape, color and size and a very accurate GPS, autoChalk's patented technology records the exact location and identifying
characteristics of each vehicle. The next time the PEO drives by
violating vehicles, autoChalk sounds an alarm. autoChalk can scan
thousands of vehicles per hour depending on the conditions.
Before and after color images are recorded of the vehicle's profile and
license plate (if visible). The PEO makes the final decision based
on photographic evidence.
