UK-based parking specialist 251 Parkeon is to install 43 Parkeon Strada Rapide terminals in Birmingham, on behalf of Birmingham City Council.
The terminals are all mains powered, coin-only meters, with the added benefit of being fitted with 3G modems enabling connection to the Parkfolio centralised management system, an easy to use flexible, web-based system that will enable the council to control parking by live monitoring live of financial and terminal status across the parking zones.
All the new terminals have an extended keypad fitted which enables users to key in their licence plate details, which are then printed on the ticket, preventing tickets from being transferred from one user to another.
Birmingham City Council’s cabinet member for Development, Transport & the Economy, Councillor Tahir Ali, said: “Even parking meters can be improved with the addition of technology and the modems will help to ensure that we provide a reliable and cost effective service for visitors to the city centre. The system allows us to monitor the meters remotely which means we’ll know if there’s a problem and this in turn allows us to reduce maintenance costs.”
