Technology · Free-flow parking
Free-flow parking where
vehicles simply drive in and out.
In a free-flow parking environment, vehicles are identified by a license plate rather than a physical ticket or access card. Parking activity is tracked automatically, and payments are associated directly with the vehicle.
Ticket-less experience
Reduce friction for drivers by minimizing physical touchpoints while preserving clear rules and operational control.
Hardware-light deployment
Deploy quickly with fewer components and less infrastructure — ideal for surface lots, overflow areas, and phased rollouts.
Operational simplicity
Fewer failure points and clearer workflows for staff, with a model designed to support day-to-day parking operations.
Compliance & enforcement readiness
Free-flow depends on clarity and compliance. Movilio supports plate-based workflows and enforcement tools that align with your policies.
Flexible pricing & validations
Support daily rates, event pricing, short-term grace periods, validations, and discount programs — without forcing a single operating model.
How Free-Flow Works
Drivers enter and exit freely, while parking activity is recorded in the background.
Step 1
Identified
Vehicles are detected through plate-based workflows and/or zone-based session initiation using web-based entry points.
Step 2
Authorized
Sessions can be paid, validated, or associated with approved access rules depending on the facility’s policies and programs.
Step 3
& Gone
Drivers just need to drive out. They will get text message receipts and communications. And next time they visit our locations, it's even easier.
Where Free-Flow Fits Best
Free-flow can be deployed in a wide range of environments, especially where speed, flexibility, and reduced equipment dependency are priorities.
- Commercial garages
- Airports and transportation-adjacent lots
- Campuses and institutional environments
- Event venues and overflow parking
- Municipal and mixed-use parking programs
- Phased deployments alongside legacy systems
Considering a free-flow model?
We can help evaluate fit, define policies, and deploy a free-flow program that supports both operations and compliance.
