University Parking Shouldn’t Be A Nightmare

“I transferred to a smaller college after I failed my test & was forced to retake the entire class. Why did I fail? Even though I showed up an hour before my exam I couldn’t find a parking spot. I had to park several blocks away & although I sprinted the whole way there, I didn’t make it in time & my professor wouldn’t let me in to take the final! The parking at a less popular school is the reason I switched.”

These are the words of an upset student. Parking management at colleges and universities is the number 1 student complaint. Indeed, Los Angeles Times reported in 2015 that parking on U.S. college campuses has been a problem since the 1950s. So, How can these complaints be resolved? Is there any modern solution that could turn all these bad reviews into good ones? omniQ believes their product could do just that.

omniQ utilizes artificial intelligence & License plate recognition technology to revolutionize parking. Our all-in-one parking solution benefits both the student and the university.

How our solution works:

  • Permitting goes virtual allowing students to purchase permits for specific lots on specific dates throughout the semester. This customization makes it easy for permitting to match their unique needs. There are no physical tags placed in the vehicle. They simply register their license plate online.
  • Ticketless ingress & egress means students are able to get in and out faster than ever before. Our license plate recognition software is able to detect the vehicles virtual permit in less than 100 milliseconds. In some cases, entry and exit was reduced from 1 minute to 3 seconds per vehicle.
  • Students are able to check parking availability per lot before they arrive, streamlining the parking process and alleviating uncertainty prior to arrival.
  • omniQ’s patented parking enforcement system PERCS centralizes all aspects of parking into one system making enforcement, citations, revenue, & collection simplified and easy to use. Most of our customers report this system paid for itself in as little as one year.

In conclusion, our system creates happier students & more revenue for universities & colleges, an ultra-modern win-win solution.
