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.

With a population of 3.8 million, and its car-oriented culture still predominant, the city's parking meters were technically outdated - with most only accepting coins and many regularly out of service - resulting in a substantial loss of revenue.
