Definitions

  • the public parking solution currently uses a machine, which, according to a table, accepts the user money and produces a ticket with the details of the transaction, that the user then puts on display on his vehicle to prove payment of the parking.
  • This solution has many disadvantages to the user. He has to locate the machine, move to it, pay with coins because they do not accept bills, pay in full because they do not provide exchange, sometimes the machines are broken, sometimes their vaults are full or do not have printing paper, so they do not accept payments, thus forcing the user to find another machine, if any. After getting the payment ticket, the user needs to return to his vehicle and leave the ticket visible. Under bad weather, the users dislike even more this moving back and forth.
  • the Public Parking without parking meters Solution identifies each parking place with a unique code composed by an area code and a number inside that area.
  • the format is ⁇ area>- ⁇ place>, e.g. ⁇ AB5C-23>, where "AB5C” is the area code and "23" is the parking place number.
  • the adjacent parking places will be "AB5C-22" and "AB5C-24". This method allows identification of 99 parking places per area; larger areas can be broken into smaller sub-areas, eg. on a large avenue, each direction can have one different area assigned.
  • Each area will have a fee table (parking cost per time unit). Several areas can have similar fee tables.
  • the parking solution will be available for users (1) with smartphones or mobile phones (2) with SMS capabilities. Preference will be for smartphones, because the user experience will be simpler and more intuitive, and with lower operating costs both for the user and also for the management system (4)(5), that with SMS's would need to send at least 2 SMS's to the user (1) confirming the transaction.
  • the option to offer the SMS service is important to reach more potential users (1), but it is predictable that in a near future smartphones will become increasingly common and the SMS solution will be residual.
  • the user (1) can choose the free version that will not have any parking credit, but will provide an ATM reference to transfer money to his account or integrate different forms of payment, e.g. PayPal.
  • the user (1) will need to transfer some credits to his account using an ATM machine or a home banking application.
  • the ATM reference may be reused and always will match that user account.
  • the user (1) may download a paid version of the application, and the value paid will be converted into parking credits for public parking. This way the user may use the system to pay for parking immediately.
  • the user (1) opens the application on his smartphone (2), inserts the area code and place number where he intends to park his vehicle and makes the request to start counting.
  • the application will communicate with the core system using TCP/IP that will record the request to use that particular parking place by that user (1).
  • the user (1) may configure alarms so that his smartphone (2) reminds him about the parking situation; after a configured time e.g. 15 minutes, the application produces a notification to the user and questions if he intends to extend parking, making it harder for him to forget, like it may occur nowadays.
  • the user may "STOP" paying the parking place at the time he returns to his vehicle and prepares to abandon parking, and this way he will no longer have to predict for how long he will need to use that parking place beforehand.
  • the smartphone application may be integrated with a mapping solution to provide information where it is more likely the user to find a free parking place. The more users use the system, the more accurate it will become. This option adds even more value to the solution and may change public parking as we know it.
  • the user (1) is identified by his mobile phone (2) number, which is associated to a parking account.
  • the user starts by sending a registration SMS.
  • the system receives the SMS, validates that phone number does not have an account associated, creates one, and sends an SMS back to the user with an ATM reference, so that he can acquire parking credits on an ATM machine or his home banking application. It will also send the user a secret code for him to be able to see his account details and transactions on a website.
  • the user sends an SMS with " ⁇ area>- ⁇ place>", thus identifying the area and parking place where he intends to park his vehicle.
  • the user phone number from where the SMS was sent identifies the associated account.
  • the application validates the information and returns an SMS to the user with the account balance.
  • the user can send an SMS with format " ⁇ area>- ⁇ place> ⁇ time>", where ⁇ time> is the maximum number of minutes he intends to pay.
  • the user (1) would still have the possibility to interrupt before that time expires by sending a "STOP" SMS, otherwise the total minutes specified in the initial request would be accounted for.
  • the system sends an SMS to the user informing about the end of the parking and the new account balance.
  • the user can send another SMS to initiate another parking session if he needs to extend the parking time.
  • the system is made of a set of application servers (4) that receive the user (1) requests. Those requests are transmitted through a network (3).
  • a network In the case of smartphones (2) that network is Internet.
  • the network (3) In the case of SMS's with mobile phones (2), the network (3) will be partially GSM from the user (1) mobile phone provider, and another part Internet with TCP/IP access to an SMS Gateway of any mobile communications provider.
  • the application servers (4) will record all payment operations and will register new users (1) on a Database Management System (5).
  • the application servers perform an important role identifying the users (1) and their account/balance. They also control the business rules, including the parking fees associated to each area, receiving the correct amount from the user accounts according to the date/time and occupation time.
  • the fiscal agents (6) will be much more efficient on their actions because they will only check vacant places, and will be able to increase the number of times they check each area, which in turn will have a significant dissuasive effect against not-complying users.
  • the supervisor agents (6) will have access to a list of vacant/not-paid parking places using a supervision application on a smartphone (7), that will show a list of supposedly vacant parking places to be verified on that area.
  • the corporate users (1) in particular those with large auto fleets, take advantage of simplified billing, because there will be the possibility to associate several users to a common company account and instead of collecting and accounting for individual parking receipts, the company will receive a document with an integrated position about the parking for all the users, independent of the concessionary.
  • the user may use this payment alternative in any city or concessionary that makes it available, because the system will not be exclusive of any particular municipality or concessionary.
  • Urban mobility requires a system that can be shared by all operators, so if a user travels from city A to city B, it is not practical to use two different smartphone (2) applications, with separate accounts; for commodity, the same system/account should be used to the maximum extent.
