1774 APT Skidata is to deliver a fully integrated parking solution for the Bradford Broadway shopping centre development – the UK’s largest retail centre to be opened in 2015.

Currently in its final construction phase, the shopping centre, situated in the heart of Bradford’s retail district, is part of a wider urban regeneration project in Bradford, ‘Connecting the City’, and is due to open on 5 November.

APT Skidata will install systems throughout the shopping centre; with two entry and three exit lanes to control parking for up to 1,300 cars, the company is installing its latest Barrier.Gate access control system working in conjunction with Power.Gate, its multi-tasking parking control column which features a bright, touch screen graphics display technology, to provide hassle-free access.

 In addition, APT SkiData is installing a variable message sign (VMS) guidance system placed on each level or zone of the car park, providing customers with an exact figure of available spaces within each specific area. It is also installing 14 Easy.Cash payment machines that allow for all coin, cash and card payments to give customers every payment option.

As well as the parking technology, the company is also providing high security blockers to the service yard. The blockers can be bolted to, part-recessed or fully recessed to the road surface, protecting the shopping centre from any vehicle-based attack, and providing essential security for customers, employees and assets.
