Open car park entrance with a camera instead of a barrier

What is ticketless parking?

Ticketless parking means vehicles drive onto a site without stopping and without a ticket, and leave it the same way. The stay is captured by licence plate recognition at entry and exit – the plate takes on the role the paper ticket would otherwise have.

The same method is also called barrier-free parking or, in trade language and internationally, free-flow parking. The three terms describe the same sequence from different angles: ticketless names the missing paper, barrier-free the missing mechanics, free-flow the uninterrupted traffic.

Payment happens during the stay or afterwards, at the machine, in the app or online. Anyone holding a permit pays nothing and still drives through without stopping.

The entrance is open. The plate is read and the visit begins.

Free site analysis

Analyse free of charge*, then decide

How your space is actually used cannot be guessed. We run an analysis on site: who stands when, where it gets tight and what the space can carry.

The analysis is free for you. You then decide on figures rather than a hunch.

What changes in daily operation.

Barrier or barrier-free.

The difference does not show on day one. It shows in daily operation: in servicing, at peak times, and when something goes wrong.

By the way: if you have a barrier today, it does not have to come down – in many cases it can still be controlled, and so can the software you already use.

What can be connected

Common questions

Questions about barrier-free parking.

No. The plate takes that role. When you pay, you enter it at the machine, in the app or online, and the amount for your visit appears.

You have up to 48 hours after the visit ends to pay online. Only after that does the visit count as a breach of the rules.

The process is safe and traceable: what is captured is the plate and a timestamp, nothing beyond that. There is no running video surveillance, and the data is processed in Germany under GDPR rules.

That is decided by your space. On one side sit servicing the mechanics, ticket refills and faults; on the other the cost of the system. We look at your entrances and work it through with you before you decide.

The cameras go on the existing entrances; the mechanics are no longer needed. The barrier itself can stay and be parked permanently open if you would rather not remove it. For your parkers, stopping and the ticket fall away. For you, faults in the mechanics and ticket resupply fall away – and you gain a record that knows every entry and exit rather than only the machine's count.
