1774 APT Skidata has upgraded five parking sites in Glasgow for City Parking (Glasgow) with a combination of the latest hardware and software technologies, integrated with existing security and safety systems. City Parking manages several of Glasgow’s off-street parking sites and has been refurbishing and updating the facilities since 2055 Glasgow City Council in Scotland transferred the operation to the company in 2007.

The newly installed technology is based around the APT 450 range using industry-standard software (Windows XP and SQL7 database). The parking control system allows multiple ID devices to be recognised and mapped as the controlling device for season and contract parkers, together with advanced pre-payment or delayed post-payment options facilitated by ANPR. All of the software written by APT Skidata integrates with existing CCTV cameras and customer help points, with data from each of the devices stored on the APT Skidata database.
