1. The Smart Park (SP) Device
Smart Park is an personal parking meter the size of a small pocket calculator based on state-or-the-
art Smart Card technology. Smart Park's LCD acts both as a user interface for easy motorist
operation and as a display for parking enforcement. Motorist selections are keyed into SP's small
keyboard. SP stores the municipal parking parameters, calculates the parking fee, debits the smart
card and records historical parking data to the card. SP is mounted in the vehicle during the parking
session for quick and easy parking inspection
2. The Smart Card (SC)
The pre-purchased Smart Card, is loaded with money to pay the motorist's parking fees. These are ~ ~
individually deducted for each parking event.. Secondly, the municipality's parking zone parameters -
(regulations) are loaded into the SC's memory for updating Smart Park for proper operations. Lastly,
the SC carries the historical parking data to the REPS for analysis and report generation for the
municipality.
3. The Parking Control Unit (PCU)
The parking control unit is used by the parking inspector to authenticate Smart ParkT"".
+ Authenticating SP ensures that the device has not been tampered with, is an authorized parking
`'~a~` device and that parking fees reach the coffers of the municipality. The PCU may be a one way or
~+ ° ~ two way infra-red communications device enabling advanced controls and features for inspection.

4. The Back End Processing System (REPS)
The Back End Processing System has the dual purpose of card handling functions and the analysis of historical
parking data and revenues. Management of this data will enable improvement of the parking infrastructure and
ensure profitability.

Personal Parking meters to suit the needs of all motorists

16 good reasons to use personal parking meters -according to Donal Shoup,
professor of Urban Planning at UCLA -extracted from smart Parking on campus
1. No need for cash -drivers don't need coins, tokens or exact change when parking because the in-vehicle
meters operate like debit cards
2. Accurate payments for parking -drivers pay for the exact parking time they use - no more, no less. Drivers
don't pay for any leftover time they don't use
3. No meter anxiety -drivers don't need to guess how long they wilt want to park and don't need to return to
their cars by a specific time
4. Safety -where personal safety is an issue, drivers feel more secure because they pay for parking while still
inside their cars. Drivers are also protected from bad weather while paying for parking
5. Receipt for parking fees -the electronic memory of the in-vehicle meter can provide receipts for parking fees
to use for expense accounts or tax purposes
6. Mobility -the same in-vehicle meter can be used all over the city/campus
7. Fasterturnover - in-vehicle meters encourage faster parking turnover because drivers pay for parking by the
minute. Drivers don't use up excess time simply because they have already paid for it
8. Low cost -the in-vehicle meters reduce the need to buy, install and maintain conventional post-mounted
meters, and the need to collect, transfer and count coins
9. Revenue in advance -the parking body collects the parking revenue in advance and earns interest on the
unused balances
10. Adjustable prices - in-vehicle meters can charge different rates in different areas, at different times of the
day and days of the week, and for different parking durations
11. Compatibility with conventional meters -drivers can use their in-vehicle meters to pay for parking at
conventional meters. Cash customers who don't have in-vehicle meters can pay by putting coins in the conventional
meters
12. No theft of vandalism -users activate the meter by inserting a smart card when they key in the zone where
they park and remove the smart card before leaving the car. The debit for parking is deducted from the card when
the driver inserts it in the meter for the next use. No-one has any incentive to steal the meter because it has no
met rs also el m'nate their sk ofv andallism thatt s~ ommonly directed at onventional meters value. In-vehicle
13. Ease of enforcement -the parking zone code flashes in the LCD window of a meter that is running and the
enforcement personnel can easily see whether a car is paying for parking

parking, people pay for parking to save themselves money
15. Statistical analysis -the times parked in each zone are stored in the smart card's memory and can
be retrieved for statistical analysis when value is added to the cards. Anyone who is concerned about keeping this
information private can always pay cash or buy a new smart card rather than add value to an old one
16. Better urban design -for on-street campus parking, the in-vehicle technology saves valuable space on the
sidewalk and removes unsightly meter clutter
These advantages come at low cost both to drivers and to the university. For example -the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee charges a one time deposit of $25 per in-vehicle meter which is refunded when a user leaves
the program. The University of Massachusetts-Amgerst offers the meters without charge, but requires a $50
replacement fee if the meters are not returned. The main disadvantage of the in-vehicle meters seems to
be that most people have never heard of them.
