845 Metric Parking has been successful in winning orders for their pay and display parking machines in the UK and is to supply three local authorities in the south-west of England with their popular Elite pay and display machines. Bristol City Council has ordered the machines for on-street resident parking schemes in the city, using coin operated machines which will have an alpha numeric keypad for vehicle registration entry and will be networked through the Metric ASLAN web back office system.

Coin only machines are to be installed by North Somerset Council for a new on-street charging scheme.  The machines will be fully networked and hosted by Metric on their web back office system, web Aslan.

Bath and North East Somerset Council will be using a mix of coins and credit cards for payment, in both solar and mains powered options to control off-street parking, fully networked to the Metric web back office.
