SIPARK PMA barrier-paystation system Quick and hassle-free operation for customers and operators Intelligent Traffic Systems
The barrier opens and closes within one and a half seconds. Drivers entering a car park equipped with SIPARK PMA will immediately realize that all components work exceptionally fast. From the loop detectors and the access control equipment right up to barriers, pay stations and management systems everything is designed for expedient processing, simple handling and prompt support. For the convenience of the drivers using the car park and to the added benefit of the car park operator. The entry control unit: prints up to 10,000 tickets in no more than 1.9 seconds per ticket The printer/reader: for all commercially available magnetically coded tickets and cards As the heart of the SIPARK PMA control device, the printer/reader is designed for compatibility with all types of magnetic-stripe tickets, no matter if the stripe is on the right or the left side or along the central axis. Central stripes, however, are the most advantageous solution because here the tickets are always automatically entered in the right direction, reducing the risk of errors and thus speeding up the entry procedure. The SIPARK PMA entry control unit prints in record time. On inexpensive, uncoated paper tickets. The barrier will only open if the loop detectors laid in the road surface confirm that there is really a vehicle in front of the terminal. An effective protection against fraud. By the way, the units are available in different colors. The picture on the right side shows a special color scheme carried out on the request of a customer. The car park barrier: opens and closes quickly and smoothly for long-term reliability Despite their speedy operation, the action of the SIPARK barriers is very gentle. The automatic slow-down optimization makes the barrier s motion smooth and reduces the wear on mechanical components. In addition, mechanical and electronic shock protection systems dampen the closing barrier s impact. This sophisticated equipment enables our car park barriers to reliably function under the high mechanical strain of continuous use for a long time before they have to be serviced. A clear economic advantage. 2
The entry control unit can stock up to 10,000 tickets. When the car park is fully occupied, ticket printout is stopped automatically The SIPARK PMA barrier with a width of up to 3.2 meters is suitable for all current passenger car models The printer/reader is the heart of SIPARK PMA. Reliable, fast and the ticket slideway can be accessed for troubleshooting purposes at any time no tools needed 3
The automated pay station: the clearly structured user interface makes operation intuitive and fast for any user The advantage of tickets with a central magnetic stripe: they can be read in whichever direction they have been entered. No timeconsuming trial-anderror anymore The generously dimensioned LCD screen displays parking fees and user prompts 4
Easy payment ensures customer satisfaction and high occupancy levels SIPARK PMA speeds up the payment procedure, too. With its straightforward design, the pay station offers an intuitively graspable range of functions and many different payment options. The system even goes beyond the usual park-pay-leave procedure: as an option, the entry and exit control units can be equipped for accepting long-term user cards as well as credit cards. No need to have a ticket printed upon entry or to look for a pay station before leaving the car park. Forget about lengthy rummaging for coins: the automated SIPARK PMA pay stations accept up to 12 different coins and 15 banknotes No matter if the space-saving compact model or the ECO version is chosen, the SIPARK PMA pay stations make it easy for the users to pay and get their ticket validated for leaving the car park. They accept a wide range of different coins and recognize up to 15 different banknotes. The direction in which the banknote is fed into the slot is irrelevant: the machine will identify it in every single case. If payment is made with a high-denomination banknote, the machine will return banknotes to the extent possible. The usual rain of coins is a thing of the past. with PIN pad and hybrid technology according to the newest EMV standard) as well as smartcards from all customary systems such as ISO 15693, ISAO 14443, LEGIC, Easy Move etc. Thus the system effectively speeds up driver entry and exit procedures for higher occupancy. What is more, it supports the points of sale in their efforts to increase customer loyalty. The manual payment system: indispensable despite convenient automated pay stations Despite the extreme user-friendliness of the automated pay stations, including call buttons: many people still prefer interacting with a person to operating a machine. With the SIPARK PMA manual payment system, this person is ideally equipped to serve car park users. The manual system offers the full range of functions: cashless payment with chip-based cards, fee calculation including magnetically coded discounts, renewal and recharging of long-term user cards and value cards etc. Even faster processing with value, credit and long-term user cards It goes without saying that the pay stations accept all the usual payment cards such as EC or credit cards (on request, 5
Car park management: just as easy and convenient as parking and paying The SIPARK PMA system comprises advanced hardware and software solutions that make back office tasks especially efficient and transparent. From control of individual devices and definition of parking tariffs right up to statistical evaluation of occupancy data and payment modes the system provides the operator with all essential functionalities. What is more, the management system is as easy and straightforward to operate as the pay stations, making the operating team s work as convenient as parking for the customers. The operation application: integrates comprehensive control, administration and reporting functions in a single application Our SIPARK PMA WinOperate software incorporates all important control and administration functions, providing the operating personnel with an integrated solution that supports all car park management tasks. Software functions include, for instance, a comprehensive overview of the current situation in the car park, convenient administration of customer and card data, user-friendly modules for the definition of parking tariffs or the creation of various kinds of tickets and cards, and many more. Business key data such as accounting journal, protocols and occupancy statistics are displayed via the integrated web-based browser.... and offers data evaluation adapted to the information requirements of different users Of course, the commercial employee needs other data and software tools than the technician responsible for the car park s hardware equipment. Our operator s workstation takes these different requirements into account and provides the right tools and information for every task. The system server: for indoor car parks of any size and networks of any complexity No matter how small or large your solution the modular SIPARK PMA range offers just the right system server for it. The servers are top-quality Fujitsu- Siemens PCs with comprehensive access and networking capabilities. The seamless connection of so many different devices from entry and exit control units to pay stations is made possible by the full integration of all components in a data processing network via an Ethernet bus architecture. Special interfaces allow the execution of maintenance tasks on the computers without interfering with normal car park operation. 6
