Mangaluru airport gets automatic number plate recognition system for easier vehicle movement

Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) has introduced an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system to offer seamless entry and exit of vehicles from the airport.

The ANPR system reads the number plate of vehicles entering the airport through any one of the four lanes at the entry booths. If a vehicle exits the airport within the mandated free passage time of 10 minutes, the boom barrier at the exit booths automatically opens. For those who need to park their vehicle beyond this time have to pay the prescribed parking fee – digitally or in cash at the central pay station near the flag post on the lower ground floor.
