A leading private hospital.
Downtown Bucharest. Full parking control.

Sanador Clinic Victoriei is a private hospital in downtown Bucharest comprising two 5-story buildings. It covers every aspect of medical care, offering a full range of services including a pediatric department with a separate entrance, specialized cabinets, and its own reception.

Sanador's vision is to be the top healthcare provider in Romania — achieving this through quality, timeliness, reliability, flexibility, and the best value for patients and visitors.

The hospital's downtown location made parking a persistent challenge. Vehicles from nearby buildings frequently occupied hospital parking spaces. This is why it was decided to impose a tariff for using the parking. Even patients had to pay to park, and the hospital needed a reliable way to collect the correct amount — the human factor had proven unreliable in revenue collection.

Two cameras.
Entry detection, exit billing.

Two Vivotek cameras were installed at the entrance and exit of the basement parking. The system automatically records each vehicle's entry, calculates the duration of stay, and determines the amount due at exit — all without human intervention.

At the entrance, one camera detects vehicles entering the parking and records the event with the license plate and timestamp. At the exit, the system calculates the total time spent in the parking and generates the exact amount to be paid.

A single barrier controls vehicle exit, and the system operates continuously — eliminating the revenue losses caused by manual collection and human error.

Parking Process Flow

From vehicle entry to automated billing

STEP 01

Vehicle Entry & LPR Detection

As a vehicle approaches the basement entrance, the LPR camera captures the license plate and records the entry event with a timestamp. The barrier opens automatically for authorized vehicles.

STEP 02

Duration Tracking

From the moment of entry, the system continuously tracks how long the vehicle remains in the parking. All duration data is stored in the Metrici database in real time.

STEP 03

Exit Billing & Payment

At exit, the system calculates the total duration and automatically determines the amount due. The barrier opens once payment is confirmed — no manual calculation, no disputes.

Revenue recovered.
One year, zero modifications.

The Sanador installation was quickly absorbed by increased revenues. The system operated flawlessly for over a year without a single modification — a testament to its reliability and the accuracy of the initial design.

💰

Increased parking revenue

Automated collection eliminated the revenue losses caused by manual handling. The installation cost was quickly absorbed by the increase in collected parking fees.

🔒

Eliminated unauthorized parking

Vehicles from nearby buildings can no longer occupy hospital parking spaces. Every vehicle is tracked, billed, and recorded — ensuring spaces are available for patients, visitors, and staff.

⚙️

Zero modifications in first year

The system worked correctly from day one. For over a year, no changes or adjustments were needed — a strong indicator of reliable design and accurate recognition performance.

🔄

Continuous operation & upgrades

After more than a year of flawless operation, Sanador and integrator Bitland contacted Metrici for an upgrade to version 5.0 — choosing to evolve the system rather than replace it.

The Sanador installation, developed in partnership with integrator Bitland, demonstrates how automated LPR-based parking management can transform revenue collection for high-traffic urban facilities.
