Birmingham International Airport Orders License Plate Recognition System.Business/Technology Editors BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 23, 2001 Scheidt & Bachmann and ALPHATECH, Inc., announced that the Birmingham, AL International Airport issued a notice to proceed for installation of a License Plate Recognition (LPR See LPR/LPD. lpr - Line printer. The Unix print command. This does not actually print files but rather copies (or links) them to a spool area from where a daemon copies them to the printer. ) system. Birmingham Airport has 20 lanes, including 8 entries, 6 credit card express exits and 6 cashiered exits. Birmingham Leading the Way in Secure Express Exits Under the guidance of Mr. Sam Wiggins, Director of Parking, Birmingham is the first airport to combine large numbers of credit card express exits (by Scheidt & Bachmann) with LPR. "Express exits improve customer service and reduce operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales . LPR provides the extra financial control that unmanned express exits require. Together, LPR and express exits are the most important innovation in parking management today, and all of us at Birmingham are proud to be leading the way," said Mr. Wiggins. LPR Integrated with Parking Revenue Control In 1999 Birmingham installed a new Scheidt & Bachmann Parking and Revenue Control System (PRCS PRCS Palestine Red Crescent Society PRCS Permit Required Confined Space PRCS Primary Reaction Control System PRCS Senior Chief Parachute Rigger (Naval Rating) PRCS Pseudorandom Chip Stream PRCS Project Revision Control System ). The ALPHATECH LPR and Scheidt & Bachmann PRCS systems are fully integrated, to yield maximum benefits from combining license plate and ticket information. The integrated system is most useful in transactions where both ticket and parking information is needed, or where one type of information is incomplete. For example, the integrated LPR-PRCS system is very effective at detecting swapped tickets and computing computing - computer the correct fees due. ALPHATECH and Scheidt & Bachmann installed the largest parking LPR system in the world in five parking facilities at Sky Harbor International Airport (SHIA Shi·ah or Shi·a also Shi·'ah or Shi·'a Islam n. 1. (Used with a pl. verb) The Shiites. 2. (used with a sing. verb) A Shiite. adj. Shiite. ) in Phoenix, AZ in 1999. With a rapidly growing facility, Phoenix ordered expansions to its LPR system in 2000 and in 2001 it has requested quotations on several more expansions. LPR System Enhancements The Birmingham LPR system will contain some more advanced software than the original Phoenix installation. The new system will be more robust, and better combines the benefits of a distributed computer system with the operator convenience of a unified system.
