subject: How Automated Payment Parking Works? [print this page] Systematic car parking has become a critical issue in the crowded metros. The physical presence of security to manage the car parking in each building needs more resources to manage the entire parking of the building which contains hundreds of car parked. The physical human resources cost high for this management which may create even more chaos, when car parking inflow is high. Automated car parking is the best solution, where the drive can come to know the available free space for car parking before he enters into the allotment place. The parking space display before the building or complex makes it more easy and convenient for driver to enter into the parking space if the parking slots are free. If the car parking is full, then the driver can park the car to another parking area.
Ticket Parking Revenue System
On entering to the parking area, the grounded vehicle detector near the barrier will detect the type of vehicle and display as well gets registered into the system. The voice prompt will let you know to display your monthly card to make your authorization to access the parking space. On confirmation from the system, you need to press button to receive the ticket that contains the entering time and other vehicle information. The same all details also are stored into the system. On receiving and display of the ticket, the barrier can be removed to enter the car to park on allotted space.
On exit to the parking area, you need to go to the teller or kiosk, where you need to scan the ticket to register the exit time and based on the parked time, the ticket parking revenue system will calculate the charge which you need to pay through bill collector. On making the payment, you can drive off your car to the exit station and place the ticket on ticket scanner to validate and remove the barrier to drive away from the parking area. As soon you display your ticket at exit station, the outer unit displaying the available space will add that parking slot in free space. This ticket parking revenue system is used and installed in many metros of the world to make the parking system most automated and low cost.
Card Parking Revenue System
Card parking revenue system is used for private parking where the parking is fixed by the number of users. Like if you are working in some organization located in certain complex, you are confirmed to visit this building almost every day where you need to park your vehicle. In such situation, the building authority will issue a card to you for your authorized access control in car parking. If the allotted parking is free, you need not have to make any payment. But if the allotted parking is on chargeable basis, you need to pay monthly rental on kiosk and teller machine to activate and fill the card for credit. That credit can be utilized each time you enter into the parking and show the card at the system to take off the barrier. In such system you need not have to get the ticket and pay on daily basis but you need to pay every month in advance for making your card active for entire month parking.
UHF RFID Reader & RFID Tags
This is completely hands free parking system used instead of card parking system, where RFID tag is attached on the internal side of your windscreen for automatic detection through the UHF RFID reader from certain distance and get validate the user for parking and let him allow to enter the system by opening the barrier.
