Integrated Parking Management

Parking is more than just pay stations, and at Digital Payment Technologies (DPT), we know that complete and integrated parking management yields superior results. To that end, we have built our parking solutions around an open system architecture that allows integration with complementary best-in-class technology partners. A complete integration with leading space sensor, Pay-by-Phone, smart card, credit card processing, enforcement handheld, and license plate recognition (LPR) platforms allows us to consolidate payment information in our PCI compliant and PA-DSS certified EMS backend in order to conveniently present it to enforcement, accounting, citation management, accounting, or other systems.

Some of the properties of integrated parking management are:

• Holistic approach to the management of a parking operation
• Applies to on-street and off-street operations
• Considers the needs of consumer and the business
• No silos – all system components working together in synergy to improve the parking experience

As a result of this high level of integration, consumers can, for example, enjoy the convenience of paying for parking with their mobile phone - they can even be directed to available parking monitored by space sensors by using a Smartphone application. Parking operators can increase operational efficiency by retrieving space payment data from our backend directly on a wireless handheld enforcement device, without ever having to visit the pay stations. This can also be compared with occupancy information from space sensors and automatically uploaded to a citation management system. Vehicle-mounted LPR systems can query the list of license plates that have been paid for at our pay stations in real-time while traveling at 50+ mph. The list of applications beneficial to both consumers and parking operators is extensive. We continue to partner and integrate with the best and most innovative vendors, servicing every aspect of the parking operation, and because our system architecture is open and extensible, the possibilities for customization and expansion are virtually limitless.
