- Effectively, the chalk image has a stamp of the time/date the vehicle was first chalked on file
- This time-stamp can be used later as a reference picture to determine whether or not a violation should be issued
- If a violation is issued, the chalk image becomes one of the first images associated with this violation
- The image is stored, UNLESS the patrol officer deletes the image.
Why "Chalk" a Vehicle?
- The process of chalking a vehicle is quickly simplified using ParkAdmin. The handheld units can virtual chalk & time-stamp images of the license plates as plates are being scanned (in the case of LPR) and are recorded/saved. If a violation is issued, that chalk-image is the first image connected with the violation
- Chalking vehicles manually is time consuming, so being able to virtually-chalk vehicles makes a time-efficient solution for a necessary aspect of parking management
- There are a multitude of reasons to chalk vehicles;
- Most prevalent being that by e-chalking a vehicle, you are able to track duration of parking, if the vehicle is parked in a time-limited lot
- Allows you to manage violations and potential violations in a time-saving manner, as officers are no longer needing to get out of the vehicle to manually chalk it.
- Stores photographic evidence that could be used as proof should a violation be issued and then appealed
