From vehicle to exit — automatic.

Every parking session goes through six stages, orchestrated by the central cabinet. The exit barrier lifts only after payment or a subscription.

In short

Every ePARCARE session goes through six stages: 1) a sensor or camera detects the car arriving at the entry barrier; 2) the ANPR camera reads the licence plate at 99% accuracy; 3) the system checks the white/black lists, the zone, the subscription and the grace period; 4) when access is granted, the entry barrier lifts in 1.8 seconds and the display greets the driver; 5) at exit, the system calculates the fee by zone and session duration; 6) the customer pays (card, QR, cash or app), receives a fiscal receipt, and only then does the exit barrier lift.

How it works

From vehicle approach
to authorized exit — in seconds.

Six stages, orchestrated by the central cabinet. The entry barrier lifts after the access check; the exit barrier only after payment or a subscription.

01
Vehicle detection
A sensor or camera detects the car arriving at the entry barrier.
02
ANPR recognition
The camera reads the licence plate at 99% accuracy. The plate replaces the ticket.
03
Access check
The system checks the lists (white/black), the zone, the subscription and the grace period.
04
Entry barrier opens
When access is granted, the barrier lifts in 1.8 seconds. The display greets the driver.
05
Fee calculation
At exit, the system calculates the fee by zone and session duration.
06
Payment and exit
The customer pays (card, QR, cash or app) and receives a fiscal receipt. Only then does the exit barrier lift.
System architecture

Every component —
coordinated centrally.

Field hardware talks over the network to the on-premises server, which exposes the web cabinet for administration and the API for external integrations.

On-premises server

All the intelligence runs locally, on your own server. No internet dependency for critical operations. Automatic backup and remote updates.

When is the payment made?

At exit, before the exit barrier lifts. The system calculates the fee by zone and session duration, and the customer pays by card, cash at the pay station, by QR from the phone or in the app. The MEV fiscal receipt is issued automatically for every payment. Subscribers do not pay on every passage: the subscription counts as payment.

What happens at entry?

A sensor or camera detects the car, the ANPR camera reads the plate, and the system checks the white and black lists, the zone, the subscription and the grace period. When access is granted, the entry barrier lifts in 1.8 seconds and the display greets the driver. The licence plate replaces the ticket.

Who intervenes manually?

The operator does not have to: everything happens in a few seconds, orchestrated by the central cabinet. The operator sees active sessions, live cameras, barriers, payments and alerts on the dashboard, and every manual action is kept in the audit log.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to pay before leaving?

Yes. At exit the system calculates the fee, the customer pays (card, QR, cash or app) and receives a fiscal receipt; only then does the exit barrier lift. Subscribers pass on the strength of their subscription.

How long does the entry barrier take to open?

1.8 seconds after the access right is verified, with no human intervention.

How accurate is the plate reading?

The ANPR camera reads the plate at 99% accuracy.

Is there a trace of every passage?

Yes — events stay in the system history, and every manual operator action is recorded in the audit log.
