Smart parking for modern campuses.

Manage student, faculty, and visitor parking across multi-campus operations with AI-powered plate recognition. No stickers, no clickers, no lineups.

The Challenge

Problems you deal with every day

Permit distribution is a nightmare

Long lines at the start of every semester. Physical stickers get lost, shared, or counterfeited. Staff waste weeks on manual processing.

Revenue leaks from unpaid parking

Students park without permits. Visitors ignore pay stations. Enforcement is inconsistent and revenue targets are missed every year.

Enforcement is labor-intensive

Officers walk massive lots checking windshields. Coverage is spotty. Peak class times are impossible to police effectively.

Visitor and event parking is chaotic

Open houses, games, and conferences overwhelm parking. No pre-registration. Visitors compete with permit holders for spots.

No visibility into occupancy

Students circle lots looking for spots. No real-time data on which lots are full. No way to optimize space utilization across campus.

Multi-campus coordination is manual

Different campuses have different rules, different systems, and no unified view. Cross-campus permits require manual exceptions.

The Solution

How GateIQ helps

Digital plate-based permits

Eliminate stickers entirely. Students and faculty register their plates online. The system recognizes them automatically on approach.

Automated enforcement across every lot

Every vehicle is checked. Every violation includes plate image, timestamp, and location. Consistent, fair, and evidence-based.

Real-time occupancy and analytics

Know which lots are full in real-time. Show students availability on their phones. Optimize lot allocation by time of day.

Self-serve visitor and event parking

Departments create visitor passes online. Event organizers pre-register attendees. Guests get seamless access without calling anyone.

Recommended Plan

Smart Control or Smart Infrastructure

Universities typically need multi-lot enforcement, visitor management for events, and portfolio-level reporting across campuses. Smart Infrastructure adds EV charging and multi-campus portfolio management.
