PRRS, the leading provider of parking compliance solutions, today announced the introduction ofAutostart, a groundbreaking AI-powered parking management technology designed to transform the way drivers access and pay for parking. Powered by Paralign's ARCFlex software and leveraging advanced AI vision, Autostart offers an open network, precise payment activation for gateless, free-flow parking facilities, capturing and verifying license plate data the instant a vehicle enters and exits a facility, and automatically charging drivers for the exact amount of time that the parking session lasted via your preferred payment platform. Unlike other payment networks serving the parking industry, this is an open network, which allows parking owners and operators to choose their preferred payment provider for collecting parking fees.

“Autostart is a game changer when it comes to parking,” said John Conway, Co-Founder and Chief Business Development Officer for PRRS. “Ticketless parking enables a more efficient, cost-effective, and driver-friendly experience, but it has always been challenging to manage payments fairly and accurately. Autostart solves that problem and makes free-flow parking work for any parking facility.”
Autostart provides unmatched convenience and accuracy, including:
— Instant Vehicle Recognition: The system's AI vision technology automatically detects and verifies license plate data upon entry and egress with 99.88% accuracy.
— Effortless Payment: If the driver is pre-registered with the facility's preferred payment provider, the system automatically processes the payment-eliminating the need for tickets, cash, or manual check-ins.
— Flexible Options for All Parkers: Drivers who aren't registered with the facility's preferred payment app can still easily register with that app and pay manually.
— Real-Time Notifications: For registered users, the facility's payment provider's app of choice instantly notifies them when a parking session begins.
— Precision Billing: Upon exit, Autostart reads the license plate again and activates the payment precisely for the duration of their stay via the facility's preferred payment app for the driver.
ARCFlex is already integrated withmore than 45 parking payment providers, and PRRS is migrating payment providers to Autostart, making it one of the most interoperable and user-friendly parking solutions available.
“Until the introduction of Autostart, drivers parking in ticketless parking lots and garages had to pre-pay for a set amount of parking,” said Conway. “The problem is that people don't always know how long they will park. Meetings run long or people just lose track of time. When that happens, parking owners have had to treat overstays as an enforcement issue, sending notices for noncompliance fees. Drivers hate receiving notices for $50 or more. Autostart minimizes this unpleasant pain point.”
The launch of Autostart underscores PRRS' commitment to improving the compliance of facilities, simplifying the payment process in free-flow parking facilities, and reducing the need to issue notices of noncompliance.

With Autostart and the facility's preferred payment provider, parkers have less hassle to perfectly choose parking times, payment providers have more successful payments, and landowners have improved compliant use of their facility. It's a win-win-win for all parties!
