Tannery Creek's APIDS Electronic Tire Chalking

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 in action

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.
