How Arcoprotect works at a truck park

Every vehicle visit creates work for a truck park: recording arrival and departure, managing access and making sure the right services are charged. Arcoprotect brings those tasks together for SNAP service partners. Built around automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), it connects vehicle activity with the SNAP platform to make truck parking easier to manage.

From arrival to departure

When a vehicle enters or leaves, ANPR cameras read its registration and record the time of the visit. That information is linked to the SNAP platform, so parking can be tracked and charged automatically. Drivers do not need to stop for a manual check-in for these transactions, and site teams have a record of the vehicle visit.

ANPR is the starting point. A site can add other features depending on how it operates, from controlled entry to payment for additional services.

Access, payments and services in one system

For sites with gates or barriers, Arcoprotect can use vehicle recognition, permissions and bookings to automate access. It can connect with existing gated infrastructure or include a new barrier installation. This gives operators more control over who enters and leaves the site.

Sites can also add multilingual payment terminals, allowing drivers to pay for parking and other on-site services by fuel card, credit card or debit card. When services are linked to a vehicle visit, charges can be captured without separate manual tracking. These options form part of SNAP’s wider access and security solutions for transport sites.

A better view of site activity

Arcoprotect gives operators visibility of vehicle movements, with image verification and a searchable record to help review past activity. Data on traffic flow, dwell time and space utilisation can show when a site is busiest and how its capacity is being used.

The hardware and software are monitored remotely, with support intended to minimise downtime and keep the system running consistently for drivers and site teams.

A site can begin with automated vehicle recognition and add access control, payments or other capabilities as its needs change. Arcoprotect can work with new equipment or integrate with existing infrastructure, so service partners can choose a setup that fits their site.

The result is a more connected way to manage each visit: less manual administration, clearer information for operators and a simpler experience for drivers.
