Auburn U Rolls Out Smart Parking Management System

Parking operations — and enforcement — will soon be smoother at Auburn University, thanks to a cloud-based parking management system from NuPark. The new system will help the university streamline and automate the process of managing, selling and enforcing parking, complete with license plate recognition (LPR) technology, real-time data access and syncing, and electronic permitting, payments, citations and appeals.

Key features of the system include:

  • Smart parking enforcement, allowing Auburn to manage processes such as permit verification and citation reconciliation in real time, as well as use LPR technology to verify parking permissions;
  • Appeal management, a module that will enable parking customers to appeal citations anywhere, any time; and
  • Integration with third-party parking systems, including enterprise accounting software.

"Auburn is bringing state-of-the-art, advanced technologies to our parking efforts to help achieve success around our three pillars: efficiency, customer service and sustainability," said Don Andrae, manager of parking services for the university, in a statement. "NuPark will be a key component to assisting Auburn in transitioning to a smart, sustainable parking program across our campus."
