What Makes autoChalk Mobile Different

Ultra-Fast Scanning

Scans 2 vehicles per second while driving up to 60 km/h (35 mph). If you lined up 7,200 vehicles back to back, autoChalk could scan them all within an hour.

Digital Chalking

Patented "size, shape, and color" vehicle recognition technology. Detects vehicles even without visible license plates – immune to snow, dirt, and cheating attempts.

All-Weather Operation

Tested from frigid Saskatoon winters (-30°C/-22°F) to hot Dallas summers (50°C/122°F). Housed in watertight cases, recognizes plates in snow, rain, and fog.

Geofencing

GPS-based zone detection automatically applies the correct parking policies. No manual zone selection required.

Hot List Integration

Real-time checking against scofflaws, stolen vehicles, permits, and custom watch lists. Instant audio/visual alerts.

Pay-by-Plate Ready

Verify parking sessions in real-time. Integration with major pay-by-plate providers for accurate enforcement.

Patented Digital Chalking Technology

As the name suggests, autoChalk takes its namesake from being the first vehicle recognition system to tackle the issue of chalking. Our proprietary vehicle recognition technology uses cameras, lasers, and survey-quality GPS to match vehicles that are overstaying.

This innovative technique can detect vehicles even when a license plate is not visible – for example, when covered by snow. Some drivers try to thwart LPR by covering their license plates or accidentally covering them with bike racks. autoChalk will detect them anyway.

  • Detects and scans over 99% of parallel parked vehicles
  • Works without visible license plates
  • Immune to snow, dirt, and most cheating methods
  • Configurable audit prompts for unreadable plates

Designed for Safety and Efficiency

Tannery Creek's engineers are passionate about making easy-to-use equipment. We listen to our customers' suggestions to create the best user experience. autoChalk is a fully heads-up system, keeping your drivers' eyes safely on the road.

An audible alarm alerts the driver to potential violations or vehicles of interest. The driver then safely pulls over and verifies potential violations. It's as easy as pointing where you want to zoom – valve stems are easily visible.

  • Hands-free, heads-up operation for driver safety
  • Audible alerts for violations and hot list matches
  • Intuitive touch interface with point-to-zoom
  • Compatible with rugged mobile printers
  • Mark vehicles for post-processing or issue tickets on-spot

  • Operates reliably from -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F)
  • Watertight protective cases for all components
  • Years of service with minimal downtime
  • Real engineering support when you need it
  • Direct access to the team that built your system

Automatic Zone Sensing with Geofencing

autoChalk Mobile adjusts parking duration times automatically depending on the parking zone using GIS and geofencing technology.

Zone-Based Policy Enforcement

No two areas necessarily have the same parking rules. Using autoChalk Office, your city streets can be zoned down to as small as two parking stalls, each with their own parking policy.

When enforcement staff are out scanning vehicles, autoChalk Mobile automatically detects which zone it's in and applies the correct policy in real-time. Zones can be converted to and from Google Earth/Maps format for easy review.

  • Zone areas as small as two parking stalls
  • Unlimited zones with individual policies
  • Automatic zone detection via GPS
  • Google Earth/Maps integration
  • Real-time policy application
