The NEW Parking Ecosystem:
parking technology and the central database functioning as
one unit to streamline the parking process
Central
Database
What Changed the Ecosystem?
We found a common identifier
The License Plate
Open Architecture
• Combine parking data from all LEP
components
• Consolidate all data into a common
database
• Provide enforcement officers with
real-time data to perform their duties
• Exchange data seamlessly in the
cloud
The Paystation:
Pay by License Plate (PbLP) Parking
PBL
Pay Stations
Central
Database
Pay-by-License Plate
• Pay-by-License Plate (PbLP) is the
pay station component of license
plate enabled parking
• Consumers enter their license plate
number instead of a space number
• Proven operating model that has
been used for many years
PBL Parking Workflow
1. Park vehicle
2. Enter plate number
3. Purchase time
4. Collect receipt and
head to destination

Pay by Cell (PbC)
Mobile payment technology provides a means to initiate parking with a
mobile device.
An account-based membership program, offering universal access to a
mobile payment platform with a single enrollment.
Worked traditionally for non-gated environments: curbside/on-street
spaces, surface lots and open garages. Now with overlay solutions &
PARCS integrations moving to the gated parking footprint.
Payments separated by merchant/location and available per transaction
or via the “virtual mobile wallet” payment instrument.
System Accessibility Examples:
Native mobile applications (iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile 7)
Quick Response (QR) Code
Near Field Communication (NFC)
Interactive Voice Response (IVR), Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF)
