Parking Access & Revenue Control (PARCS)
What is PARCS?
PARCS stands for Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems—they’re the systems that manage how vehicles enter, exit, and pay in parking facilities.
Frogparking takes this to the next level with a fully automated, ticketless solution powered by license plate recognition, mobile payments, and real-time data. Whether you’re an operator looking for better control and insights or a driver wanting a faster, easier experience, our PARCS platform delivers a smarter way to park.

Data-Driven Insights & Reporting

04.
Faster Flow & Happier Drivers
Digital permits, tap-to-pay, and real-time validation speed up vehicle movement—reducing congestion and improving the driver experience, even during peak hours.
Parking Barrier Gate
FrogGate is a low maintenance/low install requirements parking barrier that is proud to boast world-first technology.
Not only does the FrogGate self-reset upon impact, this highly reliable gate is also extremely low liability as it has inbuilt safety lasers that will stop the barrier arm moving if a person or mobility device (i.e. car, truck, mobility scooter, wheelchair) is within the impact zone.
With maximizing revenue and operational efficiencies, another stellar feature of the FrogGate is that its relatively simple and easy to install. It doesn’t require any major civil works, and we can install during ‘down periods’ to ensure you are back up and running ASAP.
Now integrated with an LED Light strip
For visibility, safety, and a modern edge - day or night.
Parking Payment Kiosk
FrogKiosk is a ticketless, cashless, parking payment kiosk that has far less ‘moving parts’ compared to traditional parking payment kiosks. As a result, significantly reduces maintenance time and expenses. Let the FrogKiosk help you achieve your overall sustainability goals.
It is so payment-versatile that it actually goes beyond standard payWave payments. The FrogKiosk also supports Apple Pay and Google Pay, with the flexibility to explore additional options such as WeChat Pay and Alipay-enabled mobile payments.
Integrating seamlessly with our FrogHub rates engine, the FrogKiosk offers instant rate updates in real-time to accommodate your surge pricing strategies.
License Plate Recognition Camera
The FrogLPR license plate reader is our solution to optimizing entry & exit to your parking lot, under almost any lighting condition, with precision accuracy.
Connecting beautifully with the rest of the PARCS as well as FrogHub, this LPR does not require any additional servers as relevant information is stored using the latest in cloud-based technology.
Let privacy concerns be a thing of the past for your drivers, as this LPR converts license plate to text and securely sends it to the cloud. Any images are deleted locally to keep information secure in anticipation for future changes to security laws. This means, your customers can be comfortable knowing that their information can’t end up in the wrong hands.

Frequently asked questions.
Is this tested technology?
Absolutely. Our PARCS is reliable. It is already installed and operating at some of our long-term partners facilities – such as at the Irvine Spectrum Center and the University of Southern California. We also have some future projects signed off and in the pipeline that we will share updates on once installed.
Can you integrate your PARCS with a third party supplier?
Of course we can! It is one of our specialties.
Can you add PARCS to a pre-existing site?
Yes and we will take care of dismantling your outdated PARCS system as well (if you already have one on site). The beauty of all of Frogparking’s solutions, and inclusive of our PARCS, our systems can be tailored to your specifications and/or aesthetics requirements.
I have other software from Frogparking, can I add PARCS to it?
You sure can – and because you will already be using FrogHub, it means you will be up and running with your data and insights in no time.
What type of data/analytics can I expect my PARCS to produce?
The world is really your oyster here – you let us know what type of reporting you need, and we can make it happen. Some common requests include total visiting vehicles, average visiting duration, average visitors per day, driver trends, revenue spend, busiest day, average spend etc. (truly, we can report on just about anything!). We can further build on your reporting if you choose to pair your PARCS with other software from Frogparking. For example, with guidance, we can offer more detailed reporting around bay-by-bay occupancy. Other add-on examples could include validation spend, permit revenue or valet turnover (just to name a few – check out our full solutions page).
How does PARCS issue a receipt if it is ticketless?
Easy as – if its connected to a Mobile App, it will appear in transaction history. If its a one-time-payment or via a web portal, your customers can opt to have the receipt emailed.
What is the per lane cost of Frogparking's PARCS?
This is a little bit harder to answer as it depends on what we install (we install bespoke solutions), so you are best to reach out to the team and they can help.
