Automated Barrier Controlled Pay-on-Foot Car Park System at Farmoor reservoir

Solution

We designed and installed a barrier controlled paid car parking system that allows visitors to pay at a machine within the car park and then allows the vehicle to exit the site when the parking has been paid.

When a vehicle enters the site, the barrier, with a boom width of 3.6m, rises, allowing vehicles to enter. This then closes once the vehicle has entered the site.

After visitors have enjoyed the reservoir, they pay at the machine which we supplied. The machine allows both cash or card payments for convenience and is simple and easy to understand, catering for all visitors. There is also an intercom fitted on the system that can call a remote help centre if any assistance is required.

Once paid, the machine dispenses a card that is then used to exit the site and forms a receipt for the visitor.

The solution has been in place for over a year and the customer is more than happy with the reliability and the problems that the solution resolves.
