Parking and payment solutions provider 251 Parkeon has launched its mobile phone parking payment service Whoosh! The solution has recently gone live in an off-street scheme for parking operator, Horizon Parking, in Glasgow.

According to Parkeon, a major advantage for operators is that financial and management data generated by Whoosh! can be integrated with all other parking payment channels on its Parkeon Parkfolio centralised management systems.

“Whoosh! completes our portfolio of payment methods, which also include Chip & PIN, contactless and smart cards, cash and on-line services,” says Danny Hassett, Parkeon’s parking director UK and Ireland.

The company has also announced it is extending its ParkReg range of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR)-based solutions to suit the functional, budgetary and commercial criteria of car parks. ParkReg with StradaPal combines vehicle detection sensors, ANPR cameras and barriers with Parkeon’s StradaPal payment terminal, which is equipped with an electronic keyboard on which drivers enter their registration plate details when they are ready to leave a car park. The terminals calculate the parking fees and issue receipts.

Meanwhile, the latest version of Parkeon’s Strada Touch terminal features an upgraded screen that aims to bring near tablet quality graphics and sensitivity for an enhanced user experience on the original ParkReg solution.
