How KEYTOP Improved Visitor Experience with ANPR Parking Management at a 3,500-Space Tourist Destination

Project Overview

As tourism destinations attract more visitors, parking often becomes the first and last impression of the guest experience.

Long queues at entrances, difficulty finding available spaces, payment delays, and inefficient operations can negatively impact visitor satisfaction before guests even reach the attraction itself.

To support increasing visitor volumes, Weipo Xinxu, a cultural tourism destination in Luoyang, China, partnered with KEYTOP to deploy a comprehensive ANPR parking management system across its large-scale parking facility.

The project covers 32 entry and exit lanes and more than 3,500 parking spaces, creating a seamless parking journey for visitors while providing operators with greater visibility and control.

The Challenge

Weipo Xinxu combines historical architecture, cultural experiences, hospitality, and leisure activities within a growing tourism destination.

As visitor numbers continued to rise, the parking operation faced several common challenges:

• Peak-hour vehicle congestion

• Long waiting times at entrances and exits

• Difficulty locating available parking spaces

• Growing operational demands

• Need for 24/7 customer support

• Limited visibility into parking performance and occupancy

The destination required a solution capable of handling high vehicle volumes while maintaining a positive visitor experience.

The Solution: Intelligent ANPR Parking Management

KEYTOP deployed an integrated ANPR parking management platform designed to optimize every stage of the parking journey.

The solution includes:

• AI-powered license plate recognition

• Cashless parking payments

• ETC integration

• Real-time parking guidance

• Remote assistance services

• Cloud-based management platform

• Data analytics and reporting

Together, these technologies create a frictionless parking experience for visitors and a more efficient operating environment for management teams.

Faster Entry and Exit with ANPR Technology

The foundation of the project is KEYTOP's advanced ANPR parking management system.

High-definition lane cameras equipped with intelligent image processing can accurately identify vehicle license plates in challenging conditions, including:

• Rain

• Snow

• Strong backlighting

• Nighttime operation

With recognition accuracy exceeding 99%, vehicles can be processed quickly without requiring tickets or manual verification.

Visitors can choose from multiple payment methods:

• Mobile payment

• QR code payment

• Prepaid online payment

• ETC automatic payment

Once payment is verified, the barrier automatically opens, allowing drivers to exit without delay.

Results

✓ Reduced queue lengths

✓ Faster vehicle throughput

✓ Improved visitor convenience

✓ Lower operational workload

Real-Time Parking Guidance Reduces Search Time

One of the most common frustrations for drivers is searching for an available parking space.

To address this challenge, KEYTOP implemented a parking guidance system throughout the site.

Digital guidance displays located along major traffic routes provide real-time information about available spaces in each parking zone.

Visitors can immediately identify where spaces are available and drive directly to their preferred parking area.

Benefits

• Reduced internal traffic congestion

• Shorter parking search times

• Improved traffic circulation

• Better visitor experience

Instead of driving in circles, visitors can park quickly and begin enjoying their destination sooner.

Remote Assistance Available 24/7

Although the facility operates with a highly automated parking management system, visitor support remains available whenever needed.

If a driver encounters an issue at an entrance or exit lane, they can connect directly with support personnel through KEYTOP's integrated video intercom system.

This enables operators to respond quickly and resolve access issues without dispatching staff across the site.

The result is a modern parking operation that combines automation with responsive customer service.

Data-Driven Parking Operations

Beyond improving the visitor experience, the project also modernized day-to-day parking management.

Using KEYTOP's cloud-based platform, operators gain access to real-time operational data, including:

• Traffic volume

• Parking occupancy

• Revenue performance

• Space utilization

• Vehicle turnover rates

The platform also supports:

• Automatic cloud updates

• System health monitoring

• Data backup and disaster recovery

• Centralized reporting

Management teams can make faster decisions based on live data rather than manual reporting processes.

Project Results

Following deployment of the KEYTOP ANPR parking management system, the destination achieved:

✓ Faster vehicle access and exit

✓ Improved visitor satisfaction

✓ Reduced parking search times

✓ Enhanced operational visibility

✓ Lower management workload

✓ Scalable infrastructure for future growth

Most importantly, parking has become an extension of the overall visitor experience rather than a source of frustration.
