The Ricoh Arena, home to Premiership Rugby team Wasps and Coventry City Football Club, has awarded Newpark Solutions a major contract to install a new ticketless pay-on-foot parking system.  

The Fusion system will be used to manage 2,000 onsite parking bays at the venue, which offers a mix of state-of-the-art conference, training, banqueting, exhibition, hotel, music and sports facilities.  

Seven pay terminals will be installed at strategic locations across the 40 acre site where visitors can pay for their parking before departure.  After inputting their registration number, using a 17-inch touch-screen at the pay-station, the software calculates their dwell time and payment. Visitors can also make online payments through Newpark’s hosted platform before they leave.

The Fusion system combines high definition ANPR technology with existing barriers to revolutionise the way that car parks operate.  ANPR cameras at the entrance speed up the arrival process by seamlessly raising the barriers, often before cars have come to a complete stop, eliminating the need for drivers to roll down their windows and push a button before waiting for tickets to be dispensed. A digital pass is created on entry and is used to allow the vehicle to exit after payment has been made.
