In a typical City Parking Enforcement scenario, you can use overtime rules and permit lists together for areas that require both permit parking, and time-limited parking enforcement.

The Pay-by-Plate Sync plugin adds the following benefits in overtime and permit parking enforcement scenarios:
  • Ability to use dynamic permits.
  • Last chance lookups to verify that a permit has not recently been added to the permit list.
NOTE: If required, you can combine permits and overtime enforcement.

There is no specific configuration procedure in the Pay-by-Plate Sync plugin for using dynamic permits and overtime rules together. You configure both separately, but you should consider the following guidelines when configuring this type of parking enforcement scenario:

  • You can only enforce permits and overtime simultaneously in a City Parking Enforcement deployment. It is not supported in University Parking Enforcement.
  • Unlike permit lists, you cannot choose which overtime rules to display in Patroller. Patroller displays all the available overtime rules for its ALPR Manager. This means that you must keep track of which overtime rules correspond to the Pay-by-Plate Sync permits, especially if you have many overtime rules that are used separately from Pay-by-Plate Sync.
  • There is no automated way to link permits with the overtime rules that correspond to them. The Patroller operator must know which overtime rule goes with which Pay-by-Plate Sync permit when patrolling.
