Technology continues to fundamentally change the way many businesses operate. The parking industry is no exception. In recent years, operators have rapidly moved toward automated, unmanned garages. As drivers arrive, they’re greeted with user-friendly ticket dispensers. Exits are equipped with self-service payment stations.
But maintaining security is a greater challenge as operators continue to decrease onsite manpower. According to the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than 11 percent of U.S. property crimes occur in parking garages and lots, as well as seven percent of violent crimes against people.
