The equipment offers unparalleled flexibility, with the ability to accommodate loading zone tickets, resident discount options, configurable free parking intervals and multi-day purchases.
Through the power of PEMS, the TX parking meter can be deployed in tandem with wireless sensors, LPR cameras, infringement issuance devices and other monitoring tools.
Each machine can alert staff when maintenance is needed and Administration can change tariffs and configurations across multiple TX parking meters seamlessly using the web-based client portal.
PEMS Integration
As part of a wider ‘intelligent civic parking’ programme managed via PEMS, all transactional information from the TX is transmitted to PEMS where it can be analysed and reported on. Through PEMS integration, civic management can access the following information:
- Historical data on collected revenue.
- Occupancy turnover based on time, date, meter and zone for statistical analysis.
- Transactional data and predictive usage.
- Revenue figures by type – coin, credit card, phone, discount, permit, etc.
With PEMS, the TX machines can support dynamic pricing configurations, driver guidance strategies, and intelligent routing for enforcement staff.
The TX can be integrated with any in-ground sensors, licence plate recognition cameras (fixed or mobile), hand-held enforcement devices, Pay by Phone and mobile guidance applications, digital signage, and/or physical web payment installations.
