No Need for Parking Tickets and Parking Tags, Saving Time and Enhancing Customer Convenience

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seoul Agro-Fisheries & Food Corporation (President Kim Kyungho) will implement the LPR (License Plate Recognition) system, which does not require parking ticket issuance or parking tags, starting from 10 a.m. on April 1, to enhance convenience for Garak Market users.


The LPR (License Plate Recognition) system automatically recognizes vehicle license plates upon entry and exit, allowing parking fees to be settled without issuing parking tickets or requiring regular parking tags.

As a result, customers will be able to enter the market quickly and settle parking fees without worrying about lost or damaged parking tickets, significantly improving customer satisfaction for parking lot users.


In the past, the corporation attempted to introduce the LPR system early. However, due to the characteristics of Garak Market, such as short curved sections and differences in license plate heights between passenger cars and trucks, there were many challenges that made implementation difficult.


Accordingly, the corporation introduced Garak Market-customized LPR recognition cameras and installed additional auxiliary LPR cameras in blind spots such as short curved sections, resolving issues through pilot operations.


This LPR system implementation is expected to dramatically improve parking and traffic order at Garak Market, and significantly reduce costs associated with the abolition of hourly parking tickets and regular parking tags.


In the early stages of implementation, there may be cases where license plate recognition is hindered by reflections, snow, or rain; a real-time correction team will be operated to continuously address these issues.



President Kim Kyungho stated, "With the introduction of the LPR system at Garak Market, customers can use the market more conveniently. Garak Market will continue to pursue customer-centered change and development. We ask for your continued support and love."
