Wrocław University of Technology
Customer StoriesWrocław University of Science and Technology is a leading research and teaching center in Poland. Its position among technical universities in Europe and the world is growing every year. The development of the university ensures research potential, teaching at the highest level, innovation, and cooperation with the economy.
The Challenges
- A logical way of managing parking for lecturers, admin, and students using License Plate Recognition.
- Providing a stable and strategic process for city center communication, to assist with avoidance of traffic congestion.
- Providing efficient access to the university building and car park through License Plate Recognition (LPR), IPROTECT AC Cards, and COMMEND Intercom.
- Integrating the university database with Active Directory to provide structured data storage and a streamlined access process for students, employees, and visitors.
- Security Management System to integrate AC, VDG SENSE VMS, Intercom, and intrusion detection under one central management location along with Interactive Floor Plans.
- A dedicated portal for students that oversees parking within the facility grounds and access to the building library.
The Outcome
- Logical parking management through LPR that can define user access groups (Lecturers, Students, Admin) and the number of spaces allocated to each.
- Interactive Floor Plans integrating several security disciplines into a single platform which includes Access Control, Video Management, Intrusion Detection, and Intercom for a full overview of campus security.
- Implementation of Intercom and AC through cards for 25,000 people linked to campus parking and facilities.
- Student visitor management through a dedicated portal that allows them to log in and confirm acceptance of parking regulations along with adding license plate information for updated parking access.
- Integration of two databases from the university and Active Directory in relation to parking management for students, employees, and visitors entering the campus through a combination of LPR and student/employee ID cards.
“The main assumption of the project was to extend the functionality of the student ID and the employee card. Thanks to the use of our systems and their integration with the university database, cards, and ID cards can now be used as access cards to various places. Thanks to such a global combination of our solutions, the user can manage not only the university car park but also the entire university from one place. Undoubtedly, the solution used in this project puts Wrocław University of Science and Technology among the most secure universities in Poland.”
