SMS4Parking™ provides the
users with the point of sale system for parking services at each
user’s
cell phone. All charges for parking services are available 24/7.
Parking charges can be flexible (multiple pricing for different
time periods or special events) and the whole city can be divided
into different parking zones with different business models (i.e.
downtown can have one or two hours maximum parking restrictions,
surcharge for certain streets or certain time periods. This will
also increase a turnaround of each parking space and also provide
for the full efficiency (i.e. if someone finds the meter that has
45 minutes left there is no new charge resulting from such parking-in
our scenario every net transaction starts from 0).
The SMS4Parking™ solution gathers
all transactions made from mobile phones of users, as well as privileged
and reserved tickets
(parking devices and access control points optional) in real-time.
As messages are received, SMS4Parking™ stores them in a Microsoft® SQL
Server database and simultaneously displays them on site maps in
your browser. Any exception message can be designated as an Alarm
for highlighted display, as well as being e-mailed to the appropriate
responder's computer or text-messaging device. Lot counts, differentials,
and statistics are readily available on screen at all times.
