Ranger PatrolWorks

Ranger’s innovative solution – PatrolWorks with LPR (PW+LPR™) – resets expectations for effective private property parking management. It puts the pieces together with advanced digital permitting capabilities, lot-specific policy customization AND enforcement in a single, fully integrated solution. The PW+LPR™ solution is unique as it: • Spans both digital permitting AND enforcement – single source, all-in-one • Uses vehicle license plates as the permit – which in turn enables advanced technology for mobile license plate recognition (LPR) and robust mobile applications (PWMobile) for more frequent patrolling and effective enforcement that fosters policy compliance • Enables tailored violation outcomes by lot and for repeat offenders: design flexibility for consequences (ticketing vs. impounding) and protocols (grace periods, wait time after tagging) • Boosts the potential added value from parking assets for owners from increased revenue with paid permitting for parking (like pet fees) PatrolWorks with LPR delivers significant benefits to owners of multi-family properties: 1. Improve Safety and Security: Replacing stickers with License Plates as the permit enables frequent patrolling – mobile LPR or PWMobile. This in turn discourages illicit activity in the lot (reducing risks/liabilities) and provides greater management control of the vehicles in the community. 2. Save Time at Properties: PatrolWorks includes mobile-friendly web apps (portals) that enable automated workflows, and for resident “self-service” management of their parking permissions. Residents can transfer permits to a newly purchased vehicle or a temporary rental car, and purchase permits for guests. This frees more time for managers for sales, leasing, and marketing priorities. 3. Increase Resident Satisfaction and Convenience: The security improvements add to the comfort and peace of mind of residents in a societal environment where security has become an ongoing anywhere and everywhere concern. The on-line, mobile-friendly portals for residents provide convenience; for example, the self-service capabilities for permitting eliminates trips to the office for vehicle changes and for guest/visitor permits. And the differentiation of consequences for violations (ticketing vs. impounding) based on the significance of the violation (expired permit vs. blocking the fire lane) promotes a sense of community and resident satisfaction. 4. Increase Revenue and Property Value: PatrolWorks makes paid permitting simple. Parking becomes an easy add-on service, much like baggage fees on an airline ticket. Flexibility to differentiate pricing (e.g., carports, garages vs. open lots) and to charge for guest permits adds to the upside potential. With PWMobile, PPI companies can deliver all of the core benefits of PatrolWorks without the upfront investment in an LPR camera system. Using PWMobile, patrolling efficiency is far superior to an “Easter Egg Hunt” looking for expired stickers, but somewhat slower than with license plate recognition (LPR). License plates are checked one-at-time from the cab of the truck, instead of rolling thru a lot at low speed in a camera car. A driver with PWMobile is fully equipped to independently patrol, enter any new violations detected, and appropriately handle all violations. PatrolWorks/PWMobile, not dispatch, is the policy checker and protocol manager. PWMobile is a great fit for PPI companies whose tow truck drivers are checking lots for unauthorized vehicles. Please note this application uses background GPS tracking. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
