What are the key benefits of Pay to Park?
Charges drivers to park provides a source of revenue for property owners, which can be reinvested in maintaining parking infrastructure and other areas of the business. Parking charges also help to regulate demand for parking spaces by incentivising turnover and discouraging long-term parking abuse. Furthermore, parking charges can help to cover the costs of parking facility maintenance, security and management.
How does ANPR integrate with Pay to Park?
Our intelligent ANPR cameras capture images of vehicles’ number plates as they enter and exit the car park. This data helps verify the duration of parking and identify any violations of the parking terms or enforcement policy. Additionally, digital systems can provide real-time data on parking occupancy, helping owners to manage their car parks more effectively.
What is a pay and display machine?
A pay and display machine is a ticket machine used for managing parking in car parks, multi-storey car parks and on-street parking. Car park users are required to purchase a parking ticket from the pay and display machine upon entering the car park and display the ticket on their dashboard, windscreen or passenger window of their vehicle. The ticket will disclose information such as the location, machine operator, entry time, expiry time, date and fee paid. Pay and display machines are constantly being upgraded to meet the needs of users by offering more ways to pay besides cash. Car park users can now purchase parking tickets using credit or debit cards, via mobile apps, SMS or via a phone number. Vehicle owners can have peace of mind when using your car park knowing your pay and display machines offer touchless payments using NFC technology and digital wallet payments.
