Stroud District Council in the UK has upgraded its town centre parking with the installation of 32 multi-service, colour screen 251 Parkeon StradaPAL parking terminals.

The solar powered machines feature a 7-inchcolour display screen which offers the functionality to enhance the parking solution into a multi-purpose sales and information channel with a ready-made connection to the Parkeon cloud. Nine of the new terminals accept multiple payments, including contactless, with the remainder being coin-only with the MiPermit (pay by phone) option.

All of the new parking terminals are linked to the Council by Parkeon's Parkfolio centralised management information system, which Parkeon says is an easy-to-use, flexible, web-based system that will enable the Council to control their parking estates by monitoring live, both financial and terminal status in an efficient manner across the parking zones. The management information system enables the Council to provide efficient and effective parking and enforcement.
