Overview

Busy streets need intelligent car parking solutions that enable clients to analyse traffic patterns and adapt for change.

Designed and manufactured by CDS in Australia.

These stand alone, solar powered, on-street stainless steel meters fit neatly into the street landscape. They are vandal resistant and highly secure. They accept payments by coins, credit cards and mobile phones.

CDS is the holder of international patents for the use of the mobile phone payments technology with parking meters.

The credit card and mobile phone transactions are processed
“on-line”, eg. Money is deposited in the meter owner’s bank
account before the parking ticket is printed (a transaction, which takes less than 6 seconds to complete). This means that the
CDS system virtually eliminates any fraud relating to the use
of reported stolen cards or cards without funds.

These parking meters communicate with their central software via wireless GPRS method.

This reliable and low cost communications method enables the meters’ owners to have access to revenue and status reporting
at the head office.

The fee changes can be set remotely from one office location
without having to visit the meters on site. The meters automatically adjust to daylight saving times, they report via SMS to designated staff mobile phones whenever cash vaults near full and require replacement, or when ticket paper is low.

The parking meters can be pre-programmed to handle Loading Zones, to enable delivery vehicles to be issued with special
parking period dockets, within specified hours.

The parking meters can print out extra receipts and offer special fee discounts to elderly, disabled or special ratepayers.

RTA of NSW certified the CDS parking meters for legal use in NSW.
