Lakeridge Health (LH) is a network of five hospital sites and a Long-Term Care Home across Durham Region located 30 minutes east of Toronto, Ontario. It operates four acute hospitals with emergency departments (Bowmanville, Oshawa, Port Perry, Ajax and Pickering), one specialty hospital with a regional mandate (Whitby) and various offsite locations.
LH has 44 lanes of equipment. Ajax Pickering Parking Garage, with 532 parking spots, is the most used covered 5-level garage by hospital employees, visitors and doctors.
Each person needed to insert their ticket into a machine and wait until it was recognized as paid.
Tickets often become lost, demagnetized due to equipment in the hospital, or had smeared barcodes due to the repeated use of hand sanitizer, resulting in increased manual intervention at the gates.
This contributed to heavier traffic, particularly during peak patients' arrival times, and about 130 staff were changing shifts simultaneously.
In September 2022, Survision's LPR cameras were implemented by Scheidt & Bachmann at Ajax and Pickering Hospital's garage. Initially, cameras were installed in a preliminary manner to assess their functionality before being deployed to four other locations.
The new technology at Ajax Pickering Hospital's garage simplifies parking for patients and visitors, offering multiple benefits:
High performance LPR camera for the most challenging sites such as very short distances and open angles
More affordable, smaller yet very fast and precise LPR camera, ideal for barrier or totem embedding
The world's smallest LPR camera for security and on-street parking control
Ideal for ITS and Tolling, this powerful camera works at large distances and very high speeds
Compact and affordable LPR camera with 4G connection, designed for Smart city
Despite the country or region, even Vanity Plates!
Lights, protection and connection are integrated into the LPR Cameras
LPR is performed in the LPR cameras firmware
LPR can be triggered by external device or by the license plate itself
Neural networks are used to learn from every plate read and increase performance over time
Up to 155 mph (250 km/h)
The shortest distance (from 5ft!) at the highest accurate reading speed (20ms)
You do not need more than 1 Survision LPR camera to get LPR working
Software tools for system integration or app building
