Challenges

A parking authority faced significant challenges in managing parking permits: 
  • Manual Validation: Officers manually validated permit tags by checking the month, year, and lot information.
  • Permit Theft: Permit tags were often stolen during transit and used without approval.
  • Permit Misuse: The same permits were being used by multiple vehicles.

These issues led to inefficiencies, unauthorized use of parking spaces, and increased operational costs. 

Solution

Xanthus developed a QR code-based permit validation system to address these challenges: 
  • QR Code Validation: Permit tags were embedded with QR codes, which officers could scan to validate key parameters:
  • Activation Status: Confirmed if the permit was activated by the admin team.
  • Registration Status: Ensured the permit was assigned to a single vehicle by the owner.
  • Lot Name, Month & Year: Verified that the permit was valid for the designated parking lot and time period.

 

Multiple Validation Methods: The system allowed for permit validation through: 

  • QR Code Scanning: Officers scanned the QR code on the permit tag.
  • License Plate Scanning: Officers scanned the vehicle’s license plate.
  • Photo-Based Validation: Officers took a picture of the license plate andscanned it.
  • Violation Notification: If a permit was found invalid, a violation email was sent to the respective authority. 

Advantages 

  • Triple Validation Options: With QR code, license plate scanning, and photo–based validation, the system ensured redundancy, reducing the chances of failed validation.
  • Comprehensive Validation: Thorough checks using vehicle license plates and lot information minimized unauthorized use.
  • Extensive Reporting: The system provided detailed reports on permit scans, including the number of valid and invalid scans performed by each officer.

 

Technology

The QR code-based permit validation system was built using advanced technologies to ensure security, scalability, and ease of use. The solution was integrated with mobile scanning capabilities and a robust database to track and report permit validation activities.

Result 

The implementation of the QR code-based permit validation system led to: 
 
  • Enhanced Security: Reduced instances of permit theft and misuse.
  • Improved Efficiency: Streamlined the permit validation process, saving timeand operational costs.
  • Better Compliance: Ensured only authorized vehicles used the designatedparking spaces.
  • Accountability: Provided detailed tracking and reporting of validation activities, enhancing accountability among officers.
