The benefits to the municipality are multi-fold, including complete traceability of the vehicles location, says Tanhu Dizgec, president of Istanbul-based STS Technology This RFID solution from Alien Technology provides a seamless method of securing parking payment and enhancing the security for public employees. As a result of this first EPC-compliant vehicle tracking installation, we are now involved in half a dozen pilots with leading universities and municipalities throughout Turkey.
You don’t dare leave your car illegally parked when the parking enforcement truck is around. Forget towing – they pick your car up and take it away.
Such a system would allow those who wish to pay more for great spots to pay a premium bringing in better direct revenue for government while encouraging others to park for short duration. It would remove the limitations of having to hand out parking tickets and those who sign up could be billed electronically with invoices being provided online as well as through mail to make collection easier.
