A user can avail of convenient contactless electronic payment methods in a smart parking management system.
A smart parking management system can help vehicles use
‘pay-to-park’ bays. These bays have sensors that help in communicating their
status to the vehicle owners. NEC India’s smart parking management
system has several other user-friendly features that make parking
convenient.
The parking contractor can use a tariff engine to calculate the
parking charges. A vehicle can use all electronic payment methods, including
mobile apps and contactless payment systems.
Many offsite parking are located where
the network may not be so efficient. This makes parking in the basements and
multi-level parking facilities quite inconvenient. To ensure that the IoT
devices operate efficiently, the system uses 6LoWPAN technology.
6LoWPAN is connectivity technology that consumes less power and,
therefore, is better suited for IoT devices like RFID readers. It allows the
different nodes to connect directly with the internet using open
standards.
A real-time remote monitoring of the pay-to-park bays is
possible for the parking lot operator. Smart sensors allow the operator to know
if the bays are being used illicitly.
Since the system uses the Cloud to operate, it is accessible all
the time. Access to the parking lot will require a vehicle to have an RFID tag.
Alternatively, QR codes and Bluetooth can be used to facilitate vehicles'
access to the parking lot.
Seamless integration and secure transfer of data are possible
with the help of Cloud gateways. The essential data like in-time and out-time
of the vehicles, therefore, gets stored securely.
Cloud also allows vehicle owners to use mobile application to
know about the status of the park-to-pay bays. The passenger gets an indication
about the status with the help of parking sensors, which communicate the status
to the Cloud.
