Smart Scenic Area Solution for Lianghu Agricultural Leisure Park

Lianghu Agricultural Leisure Park was established in 2008, covering an area of over 6000 acres, with a total investment of nearly 80 million yuan. The park features a variety of facilities including a five-star automobile camping base, luxury star-rated hotels, large farm-style restaurants, and an ecological fruit and vegetable picking garden. It is a comprehensive scenic area that combines agricultural sightseeing, leisure vacation, and team development. Thanks to its advantageous geographical location and rich tourism resources, Lianghu Agricultural Leisure Park has been rated as a national AAA-level tourist attraction and has received multiple industry honors.

The park has convenient transportation, with direct access to the Jiangxia Liangzi Lake Scenic Area’s North Pier and Ezhou Liangzi Island to the south, and to the north, it connects to the "Flower Viewing Avenue," which leads directly to the city center of Wuhan, offering excellent geographical advantages. With the increasing number of visitors, the park urgently needs to improve operational efficiency through intelligent management methods to provide better services to tourists.

To address the various parking management issues, improve visitor experience, and enhance operational efficiency, Lianghu Agricultural Leisure Park has introduced the smart scenic area solution by WUII TECO, combining an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system with barrier gates to cope with traffic pressure and management bottlenecks during peak periods.

Project Requirements

Slow Entry and Exit: In the traditional parking management model, drivers need manual guidance to park and select parking spaces. After parking, drivers also need to find the exit and complete payment manually. This series of cumbersome procedures leads to slow vehicle entry and exit, especially during holidays or peak times, causing long queues and congestion in the parking lot, which severely affects the visitor experience.

Slow Payment Process: In traditional parking fee collection, visitors often need to wait in long lines during peak periods, especially on holidays or weekends, when the payment stations are under significant pressure, causing dissatisfaction among visitors. Since every driver needs to pay manually, the entire payment process is time-consuming and inefficient, directly affecting the overall visitor experience.

Low Management Efficiency: In the traditional parking management model, the reliance on manual operations results in low management efficiency, and the payment process lacks transparency, leaving room for potential management loopholes.

Smart Solution

To address the above issues, WUII TECO deployed four sets of barrier gates and four sets of ANPR systems at the two main entrances and exits of the park. Each entrance and exit is 15 meters long and uses a one-entry-one-exit management method. The ANPR system automatically recognizes the entering vehicles without manual intervention, thus reducing issues such as waiting in line and manual parking guidance.

The ANPR system efficiently and accurately identifies license plate information, allowing for automatic access and effectively reducing traffic congestion at the entrances and exits, improving vehicle throughput. Once visitors enter the parking lot, the system will automatically recognize the license plate and grant access, avoiding errors caused by manual operations and ensuring a smoother parking flow.

The smart ANPR system introduced by WUII TECO, combined with self-service ticket purchasing and ticket verification functions, completely solves the issues of slow payment and low access efficiency at traditional toll stations. With the ANPR system, visitors no longer need to stop and wait for manual payment when entering or leaving the park. The system automatically recognizes the license plate and generates the corresponding payment record, allowing visitors to pay quickly through self-service terminals. Whether by cash, credit card, or mobile payment, the process is efficient and convenient.

After implementing WUII TECO's smart parking management solution, all parking data is uploaded to the backend system in real-time, allowing administrators to view and analyze parking lot usage at any time, ensuring efficient and transparent management. The system can also generate detailed reports, making it easier for management to understand payment statuses, adjust management strategies, and further optimize park operations.

Conclusion

As a professional provider of technical solutions, WUII TECO has provided a comprehensive smart parking management system tailored to the specific needs of Lianghu Agricultural Leisure Park, integrating ANPR, barrier gates, automatic payment, and other advanced technologies. These technologies have optimized the park’s parking management process, increased operational efficiency, reduced labor costs, and improved payment transparency and visitor satisfaction.

Through systematic technological management, the park can monitor parking lot usage in real-time, perform dynamic scheduling, and prevent situations such as insufficient parking spaces or vehicle delays. In addition, the system automatically records and stores data related to each parking and payment event, facilitating future analysis and optimization of park operations.
