SMS4Parking™ functions
equally well in small and large cities. SMS4Parking™ is
the first functional and integrated Parking Management System based
on
the latest IT and telecommunication
technologies. This
system encompasses both parking payment and parking management functions
enabling the parking authorities to centrally manage and control parking
services and parking payments.
Application system structure
SMS4Parking™ software system, with its functionality
and integration of different subsystems, enables complete functioning
of parking space
management. On the level of application systems SMS4Parking system
includes the following:
SMS4Parking™

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.

is a complete solution for managing a removal process of illegal
parked cars. Introduction of the system simplifies the complete
process from the violation notification, through violation
verification and removal order to unloading the vehicle in the car
pound and payment of the Removal penalty. Simplification of the
process dramatically increases the productivity of the Car removal
enforcement. The result is a significant increase in the number of
car removals (up to two times).The basis of the system are tow
trucks , equipped with field computers which are used by parking
attendants in the streets to send photos of illegally parked
vehicles to the dispatcher centre. The staff in the centre
immediately issue a warrant to the nearest tow truck to remove such
vehicles without delay. The warrant for towing the vehicle alongside
its photo, location and the precise time of noticing of violation
present an undisputable proof of illegal parking and the reasons for
immediate towing of the vehicle.
