License plate recognition car park

Municipality of Terneuzen

License plates (registration number, date, time and location, no specific name and address details) of vehicles entering the car park. After payment, cars drive out automatically due to recognition. Entry of the paid parking ticket is not required at the barrier. The application is called ANPR (automatic number plate recognition).

Responsible use

Goal and impact

The aim is to make motorists drive out of a car park. The camera reads the license plate number on entry and registers. Payment takes place; the parking ticket is updated. An algorithm checks whether payment has been made. If not, the barrier does not open. Payment must still be made.

Considerations

Field not filled in.

Human intervention

Field not filled in.

Risk management

The license plate registration system complies with all applicable privacy laws and regulations.

There is no live video footage; it only involves digital images (photos) with license plate information.

Legal basis

Road Traffic Act 1994

Elaboration on impact assessments

The municipality conducts a DPIA to test the impact of the solution.

Operations

Data

License plates (registration number, date, time and location, no specific name and address details) of vehicles wishing to use parking facilities in car parks.

Technical design

The camera enforcement system scans all license plates of entering vehicles. The camera then uses an object recognition algorithm, which is used to recognise the license plate and evidence for payment.

  • Control with a scanning car

    Municipality of Zaanstad

    Short description With the scan car, the municipality carries out parking checks. The scan car uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras, identifies license plates and checks parking entitlements. The license plates without parking rights are transferred to the enforcement system for the purpose of collecting the parking tax due.

  • Parking control

    Municipality of Rotterdam

    In the city, parking is paid and the municipality checks parking rights with scan cars. If the result is positive, the car has valid parking rights. If the result is negative, an employee always checks whether a tax assessment needs to be drawn up.
