V100 GPS Compass revolutionize Parking Enforcement

The traditional solution to parking regulation was for enforcement officers to manually mark vehicle tires with a line of chalk and later handwrite a ticket to unmoved vehicles in violation of parking regulations.By partnering Hemisphere GPS’ V100 GPS Compass with Tannery Creek Systems Inc’s patented autoChalk™ software, parking enforcement can now ticket offenders in real-time as they drive past in their patrol car.

The backbone of autoChalk™software is Hemisphere GPS’ V100 GPS Compass which provides heading and positioning data to determine the exact time, location and parking enforcement area of an offending vehicle. Digital cameras mounted on the side of the patrol vehicle automatically take a before and after picture of the vehicle to be analyzed for infractions. All of this is done while patrolling at 40 km/h and scanning at a rate of two vehicles per second, from up to eight feet away. The V100 GPS compass’ two multipath-resistant antennas ensure that the signal is not misinterpreted when false signals are being deflected off downtown skyscrapers. However, if terrain causes a loss of signal, data from the vehicle’s transmission is paired with input from the integrated gyro and tilt sensor of the compass to keep carrying a position for up to 10 minutes. www.hemispheregps.com
