Parkeon has installed a ParkREG system that includes Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) at the New Square Shopping Centre development in West Bromwich.
This latest technology from Parkeon uses ticketless state-of-the-art digital equipment to track vehicles as they enter and leave the car park.
Cameras positioned on each of the entry lanes to the centre car park record the number plate and vehicle; this information acts as a virtual ticket and is stored in a database. No ticket is issued and there are no barriers on site.
All visitors to the centre pay for their parking on exit by going to one of 18 Parkeon pay stations on foot after completing their shopping. They key in the last three digits of their number plate and select the photo of their vehicle on the screen. The system then calculates how much needs to be paid.
The pay stations offer a large range of payment and merchant discount options and drivers do not need to display a ticket in their windscreen. Customers visiting the shopping centre have commented that the new solution makes the shopping experience much more positive and enjoyable.
