Hi-Tech Solutions (2651 HTS), a specialist the optical character recognition and computer vision systems market, has sold 120 licence plate recognition (LPR) systems for integration into an automatic parking system in Hong Kong. The systems were sold to HTS's partner Access Control Systems (917 ACS), and will be integrated into the entire parking solution it is providing to Imperial Parking of Hong Kong, one of the leading parking operators who operate hundreds of car parks in Hong Kong.

By using the vehicle licence plate as the primary identifier for the parking application, this project will answer the challenges raised by dense city parking, as it will audit and control the parking revenues from one central location. It will also provide a centralised service solution for the many residents of Hong Kong with easy and accurate parking subscriptions and discounts in their areas of residence.

"The ease of installation and integration with our parking solution, along with the accuracy of results, were the deciding factor for us in the purchase of HTS LPR systems" said Pele Wong, senior manager at ACS.
