129 Swarco and 2226 Skidata parking technology company 1774 APT Skidata has been awarded two significant contracts by UK company Land Securities to upgrade the parking systems at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth and Lewisham shopping centre in London.

Both sites will deploy APT Skidata’s new Power.Gate control columns to control entry and exit, providing operators with options to adopt alternative ticketing types in the future.

The control columns at both sites will be fitted with optic scanners which will read e-tickets on smartphones or 1D or QR barcodes issued as validations, discounts or promotional vouchers on smartphones. Operators at Lewisham will also have a dedicated parking zone used by retail staff that will be accessed by APT Skidata’s new Lite.Gate barrier.

All the columns will provide full ticket processing using APT Skidata’s crosswise barcode issuers and readers and RFID proximity readers will provide the touch point for registered users and season ticket holders.

Land Securities will also be using automatic number plate recognition across all entry and exit lanes at both sites.
