RSSParking systems and management specialist 7855 WPS has completed the installation of its ParkAdvance pay-on-foot parking system at the recently-opened Friars Walk Shopping Centre and Leisure Complex in Newport, Wales, as an integral part of delivering the ultimate visitor experience.

In addition to shopping centre visitors, the chosen system was required to manage multiple tariffs; it needed to accommodate local university students, gym members and employees providing different rates for each.

The car parks have pay stations providing cash, chip and pin and contactless payment options, as well as cashless-only pay stations that are particularly effective in reducing queues in peak periods. WPS’ fully IP-based architecture means the system is future proof, with the possibility of adding further functionality as and when it is needed.

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c

    Radar can have distinct advantages in some transport-related situations as Colin Sowman found out during a visit to Navtech Radar. Despite tremendous advances in machine vision techniques, the accuracy and reliability of camera-based detection systems suffer during periods of poor visibility where other technologies may offer an alternative. Radar is one such technology. It too has seen significant development in recent years and according to Navtech Radar, the technology can often fulfil detection and moni

    Jack Opiola talks to some MaaS advocates in the US. Cities will accommodate almost 60% of the world’s population by 2025 and technology is outpacing transportation plans and planners - putting extreme pressures upon planners and transportation systems alike. Big data, digital payments, ubiquitous communications, smartphone applications, on-demand travel and autonomous vehicles are all shredding existing transport plans. Never before has the pace of population growth and the tools to address this problem
