On-street Parking Charges Management for Lufeng County in Yunnan Province

Background
Car ownership in Lufeng has increased with the economic development in this county. On-street parking management is becoming more and more difficult. An intelligent traffic management system for the Emergency Command and Control Center is an urgent demand of the government.
 
Challenges

• Old way to handle on-street parking charges cannot meet today's needs.

• The policy of area-based and time-based charges cannot be implemented.

• Information about parking cars which are illegal or have not been inspected cannot be shared with the police.

 
Solutions
Chainway provides Lufeng Government with C2000 PDA to manage on-street parking charges. A complete and effective system is built up to avoid illegal charging and oversight-omitting charges.
 
Application Details
 
Parking Charges Management
The charging information can be transmitted to the administration center via wireless internet. Overall intelligent management of parking charges brings convenience to both car owners and parking chargers collectors. Those collectors enter the number plate on the PDA to have the car registered in the parking areas. They can also download the standard rate table from the PDA, on which the charging is based. The rate cannot be changed and the charges are calculated by the PDA, this way effectively avoids illegal charging.
 
Top-up Parking Card
Top-up parking cards are issued. M1 or CPU cards with PSAM enhance the security. After topping up their cards, car owners can use them to pay the parking charges.
 
On-line Supervision
Data of parking charges can serve as a good material for the analysis software to rationally allocate parking resources and to offer technical support to the Parking Guidance Information System.
 
Data Analysis
All kinds of analysis statement can be developed, including but not limited to parking charges income statement, collectors income statement, blacklist and inspectors recording statement.
