Capture Layer
Ingress from IP and LPR cameras at lots, gates, garages, and roadways.
Parkd System
Modern parking infrastructure for campuses that need operational clarity.
Parkd combines camera integrations, recognition, policy-aware decisioning, and operator workflows into one platform. The result is a dependable system that helps institutions manage parking at scale with confidence.
Architecture Overview
Parkd is organized as a layered platform so teams can understand how each scan flows from physical capture into clear operational action.
› System architecture
Event Ingestion
Normalizes feed data into consistent scan events with location and timing context.
Recognition + Validation
Reads plate text, scores confidence, and validates event quality before downstream logic.
Rules + Permit Matching
Evaluates permit status, zone eligibility, time windows, and vehicle-specific exceptions.
Operator Workflows
Routes events into live dashboards, alerts, reviews, and enforcement workflows.
Storage + Analytics
Maintains audit history and powers utilization, compliance, and trend reporting.
01
System Architecture
Parkd connects physical parking environments to software operations through a layered architecture built for campus scale.
- Ingests camera and sensor activity from distributed campus environments.
- Transforms reads into structured events with timestamp, location, and confidence metadata.
- Links recognition events to permit records, policy rules, and operator workflows.
- Stores complete history for analytics, audits, and institutional reporting.
02
Camera Integrations
Parkd is designed to integrate with modern camera ecosystems, including existing campus infrastructure where feasible.
- Supports IP cameras and LPR-focused deployments across mixed hardware environments.
- Connects to RTSP streams and API-based camera services for flexible ingestion paths.
- Covers entries, exits, lots, garages, and perimeter roadways with location-aware mapping.
- Allows phased deployment so institutions can modernize without full hardware replacement.
03
License Plate Recognition Engine
The recognition layer turns live video frames into reliable parking events that teams can trust in daily operations.
- Detects plates and reads text with OCR pipelines tuned for operational consistency.
- Assigns confidence scoring so uncertain reads are handled with clear logic.
- Deduplicates rapid repeat captures to reduce noise in operator queues.
- Publishes timestamped vehicle events in near real time for responsive workflows.
04
Parking Intelligence
Beyond plate reads, Parkd applies policy context to determine what each vehicle event means for campus operations.
- Matches vehicles against permit records and account status in real time.
- Applies zone, lot, and time-based access rules for policy-aware outcomes.
- Differentiates student, staff, guest, and unauthorized activity states.
- Builds session context to track occupancy patterns and lot utilization trends.
05
Admin Control Center
Administrators and operations teams use Parkd as a command center for live monitoring, enforcement, and planning.
- Monitors live parking activity with flagged vehicles and alert workflows.
- Searches event history with full audit visibility for review and compliance.
- Manages permits, exceptions, and enforcement queues from one platform.
- Tracks reporting across usage, revenue, and operational trend lines.
06
Security & Reliability
Parkd is built for institutional trust with access controls, protected data handling, and resilient day-to-day operations.
- Uses secure authentication and role-based permissions for controlled access.
- Protects data flows with layered safeguards across ingest, storage, and retrieval.
- Preserves auditable activity history for governance and accountability.
- Operates with monitoring and reliability practices focused on continuous service.
Built for real campus operations
Parkd brings recognition, policy logic, and operator workflows into one dependable platform so schools can manage parking with precision and trust.
