Technology is causing big changes in practically every element of life, which is why parking systems, infrastructure, and complexes are undergoing major modifications. Currently, the complete parking solution and security system are on the verge of being automated thanks to the effective application of current technology and innovative ideas.
Now, parking lots are being designed to be more user-friendly as well as owner-friendly. The entire system has been changed to provide users with a more secure and sophisticated parking facility. The very satisfied parking facilities will assist vehicle owners in keeping their parking difficulties at bay.
Companies, schools, airports, complexes, large restaurants, retail malls, hotels, residential complexes, and many others are implementing these measures in order to provide an efficient parking solution to car owners so that they can conveniently monitor their vehicles.
Two of the main innovations in the field of the parking management system are the Radio Frequency Identification system (RFID) and Automatic Number Plate Recognition system (ANPR). RentPark, a leading parking management system software company, brings you an in-depth look into both RFID and ANPR systems.

The Radio Frequency Identification system (RFID system) is commonly used to automate parking systems and improve security in parking lots. The complete system is made up of an antenna, a reader, and a very small tag that ensures the smooth flow of vehicles.
There are various additional beneficial characteristics of such a system, but one of the most advantageous is that it provides for a steady flow of vehicles even in congested regions and at peak times. Furthermore, this is extremely successful in controlling the movement of railways, airports, and seaports, as well as municipal vehicles like garbage trucks, trolleys, and tolling.
Apart from simplifying parking systems in various locations, the RFID technology also allows schools to implement security measures and provide a safe environment for future generations.
There are two types of RFID technologies: active RFID (where the tag actively generates a battery power signal) and passive RFID (where the tag does not emit a battery power signal) (the tag does not emit any signal until it is in the area of sight of the RFID antenna).
