Introduction to This Issue

Traditional parking lots have been operating for many years using card-taking and manual payment systems, relying on substantial labor costs to manage each parking facility. Reconciliation, shift handovers, multi-site information aggregation, and vehicle information queries are all handled on local standalone systems in conjunction with manual processes. This situation consumes vast amounts of manpower and resources. So, how can we address this issue?

Ruixun is here to share embedded solutions related to smart parking lots with you.

With the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its widespread application in smart transportation, we are seeing the implementation of smart parking solutions in more and more scenarios. This allows the public to enjoy the convenience of technology, promoting the healthy development of industries!

So, what are the core advantages of smart parking lots compared to traditional ones?

Without a doubt, it's the improvement of information management in parking facilities!

What are the benefits of improving the informatization of parking lot management?

▌▌ Achieving real-time, comprehensive monitoring of parking lots, adjusting operational methods as needed, and achieving efficient management.

This includes monitoring vehicle entry and exit, occupancy rates, fee information display, real-time lane images, and parking lot status alerts. It also enables the instant export of financial data for any given time period, including cashier cash accounts, payment accounts, parking space marketplace accounts, parking space authorization accounts, and more. Dynamic analysis of different payment methods and funding sources, supporting reconciliation data from multiple banks, and unifying all payment channels, breaking down information silos, reducing financial pressure, and strengthening financial management.

▌▌ Achieving premium parking services, providing a better user experience, and increasing customer trust and loyalty.

This includes features like contactless payment, reverse car search, license plate-free vehicle management, electronic invoices, fee inquiry and payment, time-based parking space rentals, online long-term parking payment, digital coupons, message push notifications, and more.

With such excellent informatization, why isn't it more widely adopted?

---- Who is the roadblock?

The high cost of replacing all hardware equipment at once, resulting in significant waste!

What if only a small amount of equipment needs to be replaced? Would you like to give it a try?

The MPC-1903, developed by Ruixun Technology, is a comprehensive embedded server for parking lot management, certified with 3C. It is an industrial-grade intelligent embedded hardware platform. The software runs on a Linux platform with high integration of hardware and software, allowing for on-site software deployment-free operation. The mobile management terminal and central server are integrated into one design, offering strong compatibility and effectively standardizing daily operations for management staff. This design greatly reduces the system’s lifecycle maintenance costs, realizing the deep integration of the internet and parking equipment. It supports a remote, multi-terminal, multi-interface parking lot intelligent system management mode. It provides a sustainable platform operation service for parking lots based on IoT architecture, cloud computing, and big data analysis. The system enables self-service parking for vehicle owners, unmanned operation and maintenance of parking lot entrances and exits, mobile management that integrates various tasks within the parking lot, significantly reducing labor costs, and meeting the evolving management and business needs of customers.

MPC-1903

▌▌ Adaptable to Harsh Environments and High Applicability for Various Parking Scenarios

The ARM industrial PC MPC-1903, designed for industrial-grade embedded use, operates smoothly in environments ranging from -20°C to 85°C and supports continuous 24/7 operation. It is waterproof, moisture-resistant, anti-static, and requires minimal environmental conditions, offering exceptional stability. Running on a Linux system with multiple subsystems, it is immune to viruses, ensuring strong data confidentiality. The local and cloud-based intelligent operation and maintenance coordination mechanism allows it to interface with various peripheral devices, including recognition devices, barrier gate equipment, and entrance/exit displays from different brands. Customers do not need to replace their parking lot hardware, and it integrates perfectly with different parking equipment.

▌▌ Ultra-High Computational Power and Rich Interfaces Provide Hardware Support for Performance Implementation

The MPC-1903 is built on the Rockchip RK3399 six-core 1.8GHz platform, offering ultra-high-speed computing power. It supports 4K displays and a variety of specialized display requirements, including facial comparison, face recognition, and facial payment. With its ultra-compact size and tight design, and dual Ethernet ports, it allows seamless switching between internal and external networks, ensuring timely event handling. It also supports 4G/WIFI/Ethernet connectivity with no configuration needed. The device automatically configures based on network priority to ensure smooth data transmission. The three USB 2.0 ports support multiple peripherals and enable third-party interaction, while the USB 3.0 port enables high-speed computing, video streaming, and big data comparison. Additionally, it provides one RS485 port and one RS232 port for upper and lower machine interconnection.

▌▌ Smart Parking Lot Workflow Overview

When a vehicle enters the parking lot, the recognition device at the entrance captures the vehicle image and facial snapshot using a camera and facial capture unit. The MPC-1903 communicates with the parking lot database, performs data comparison, and recognizes the vehicle. It then sends commands to control the barrier gate, integrated payment system, and display screen to carry out the required actions, completing the vehicle entry process. The data is uploaded to the monitoring center, which also connects to other security systems. Security vulnerabilities, such as free gate openings, data deletion, and other risky behaviors, are effectively monitored to prevent breaches.
