Singapore local using electronic toll collection system, more and more parking lot, but the road parking have to use the traditional paper I pay parking fees. Singapore's urban renewal authority is discussed with the aid of new electronic technology to replace parking thrift, let drivers is avoided buying and "tear" parking up trouble, at the same time reduce the manpower required for the ban timeout or illegal parking.

City construction bureau recently issued a scheme for books (RequestforProposal), invite the contractor use perfect intelligent transportation technology on the market, to the side of the road parking parking facilities development and test new electronic payment system, through drivers can be directly installed in the car, driving device of similar reading card (onboardunit) pay parking fees.

It not only can provide convenience for the drivers, the authorities also do not need to transfer a large number of manpower to check one by one car parking thrift. Automatic charging system in addition to allowing drivers to pay parking fees according to the actual parking time, also facilitate the city construction bureau to strengthen the management of roadside parking facilities, relieve the problem of insufficient parking space.

City construction bureau spokesman, said the polling, rapid progress in science and technology, some technologies such as global navigation satellite system on the market (GlobalNavigationSatelliteSystem, GNSS), vehicle wireless services (VehicularWiFi) and automatic license plate recognition system has been improved a lot of, can be used to research and development of the road parking payment system.

He said: "the scheme for the book is to understand the private sector can provide what kind of solution, as well as economically viable, and is suitable for wide use."

City construction bureau also notes that the work is still in the exploratory stage, it is not ready to change the existing parking charge system. "Now is the best choice as far as possible to keep more to gate type parking system."

City construction bureau public parking management island 40000 more than 40000, of which about a third (10000 7000) is the roadside parking, among many in urban area. Using electronic toll collection system of parking lot has 15, but as a result of this kind of parking need to install the gate, when the vehicle in and out of the parking charges, so the technology is not applicable to the side of the road parking facilities.

Road traffic administration in the development of a new generation of highway electronic toll collection system (ERP), confirmed available GNSS technology determine vehicle position, can be calculated by vehicle actual charge to owners, also can through the driving device drivers to pay parking fees on the side of the road. It is unclear whether the two institutional research system in the future will be how to complement each other.

The contractor must complete nine months test

Related to settle due on December 2nd. Bidding regulation, once the contractor to sign the contract, shall be in the nine months to complete the relevant tests. The first phase project including design, development and equipment system; Second stage is a technical test, and then to assist the city construction bureau operation and data analysis, etc.

RFP is also listed, will include a new electronic parking system installed in the car driving device, in addition to allowing drivers to deduct parking fee, parking can also collect information and data, etc. In addition, there are automatic inspection work flow law enforcement team, and clamp down on illegal activities such as shooting at random parking vehicles photos or video.

The new system must be available to all registered vehicles in Singapore, also can let foreign registered vehicles to pay parking fees.

By consulting a inconvenience named parking system development company, to the park by the side of the road vehicle automatic parking charges, is the most direct approach can be installed in every parking space near the antenna of received signal equipment, according to the parking time of reading card to deduct from the car parking fees.

But head, according to this kind of antenna and equipment are not cheap, everyone is expected to be 10000 yuan ($3000), and also in a roadside device can record the license plate number of the equipment, once the owner has not inserted the cash card card reading device or card amount is enough, can be automatically "copy" brand issue ticket.
