This is a revenue generation and collection system and is widely used in the UK.
Users normally enjoy unrestricted vehicular access to the parking facility, this is useful if access road infrastructure is limited or the car park is relatively small.
One machine will serve 80 parking bays in an off-street situation but considerably fewer in on-street circumstances.
Most modern pay and display machines produce excellent audit facilities and reduce potential shrinkage and can provide useful statistical data that can be used strategically.
We operate numerous Pay on foot parking services. Operating systems fall into two basic "machine reading" methods -
- Magnetic stripe tickets
- Bar coded tickets
Although purchasing these systems is not the cheapest way of buying revenue control equipment, overall cost of ownership and the benefits on offer should be analysed carefully. The two main advantages these controls offer are:
- Excellent audit trail and statistical reporting capabilities
-
A method of increasing the speed of exit for customers thereby increasing income efficiency and giving customers a better service.
A commonly used method of revenue generation and access control.
This is often viewed as a rather old fashioned method of operation but still popular with the end user.
A ticket is dispensed to the vehicle driver (either automatically or push button issue), the entrance barrier raises and allows access to the car park.
Information is recorded on the ticket for example: Time, Date, Conditions of entry, Advertising.
The ticket is offered to an operator (usually accommodated in a "kiosk") from the customers' vehicle and a charge is levied. When the transaction is complete the exit barrier is raised and the vehicle can leave the car park.
There are several types of issue tickets available from simple "man" legible to bar coded or magnetic stripe tickets.
