Technology and advancements

edit

The firm launched a mobile-friendly webpage to facilitate pre-payment of tickets. This use of technology has led to an increase of accountability. It also sends the motorist a reminder 10 minutes before their ticket is due to expire, letting them know that they are in need of a new ticket.[5] Other car parks have used this model of framework to their advantage.

Some of the car parks also have solar powered ticket machines[3] and licence plate recognition technology.[6]
