Time-Based Overstay Tracking is Here

Know exactly when a vehicle has overstayed — in real time. A smarter way to manage lots with posted time limits.

5 min read April 2026 For CANpark Subscribers

We've been busy improving CANpark — and we're excited to share the latest feature upgrade now live in your system.

NEW FEATURE

Time-Based Overstay Detection

Managing a parking lot with a time limit just got a whole lot smarter. We've deployed a brand new Hourly Expiry Violation Mode — a first-of-its-kind addition to CANpark — designed specifically for lots that enforce a maximum parking duration (e.g., a 2-hour limit).

🔍 Here's How It Works

1

Scan a Plate → Timer Starts Automatically

The moment a vehicle is scanned, the clock starts. No manual input required.

2

Re-Scan Within the Limit → See Time Remaining

Scan the same plate again and instantly know the vehicle's status.

Logged at 2:32 PM · 33 min left of 2 h
3

Re-Scan After the Limit → Take Action

If the vehicle has exceeded the allowed time, the system immediately flags it and prompts your staff:

Issue a Warning Authorize a Tow
4

12-Hour Session Reset

Sessions automatically reset after 12 hours — so returning vehicles the next morning always start with a fresh timer. No stale flags, no false alerts.

5

Overstay Notification Bell — Always Visible

The notification bell is now permanently visible on screen. The moment any vehicle exceeds its time limit, your staff gets an instant alert — so nothing slips through the cracks.
