The Smart Parking Solution also spares parking inspectors from having to manually check renewal of each parking ticket, as the paid parking period can be checked remotely using radio frequency transmission.
Moosa Al Amri, Chairman, Amricon, said, Amricon has always led the way in bringing innovative smart solutions to the Middle East, and we break new ground yet again with the launch of this Smart Parking Solution. The fact that we have been successful in developing such a sophisticated and unique product is proof that regional firms can compete on a par with global companies when it comes to technological innovation.
Amricons Smart Parking Solution contains a pre-paid pager device and display unit which can be placed anywhere in the vehicle. The pager device contains a storage chip that contain secure information about the vehicle as well as track payment transactions. Loading the pre-paid pager device can be done in several ways like using your mobile phone to load a specific amount to your device or paying at participating gas stations.
Here is how the Smart Parking Solution works:
The Smart Parking Solution user would load the pre-paid pager with an amount of money either by mobile or by paying cash or credit at participating gas stations. The user will turn the pre-paid pager device on when they park at paid parking spot. The pre-paid pager will start deducting fees as specified in the zone where car is parked. The user will switch the device off when they return to their car.
Amricons Smart Parking Solution helps parking inspectors to duly verify any vehicle using the Smart Parking Solution remotely through a handheld device and without having direct line of vision to the device. This process allow inspectors to check more cars in less time and without having to look at each car ticket individually or keying in a number plate, that is a big improvement over current inspection systems.
Our smart parking solution is a simple and easy-to-use product that offers a host of benefits, and this pioneering invention could well transform the very concept of paid parking by offering additional payment options. We are positively upbeat about the solutions prospects within the regional markets, which have been increasingly receptive to innovative and user-friendly solutions, Al Amri said.
