information
Basic information
The GP4MS automatic pay station is designed for unattended collection of parking fees within the smart parking system - GP4P.
The GP4MS device represents a more space saving and more economical alternative to the GP4M automatic pay station that is used within the GP4P parking system as standard. However, if compared to the standard solution, the GP4MS automatic pay station offers only limited options of payment. It also cannot be extended modularly as easily as the GP4M automatic pay station.
The structural design and used materials provide the automatic pay station with a high level or protection against access of unauthorized personnel. The automatic pay station can be attached either to a vertical wall or to firm ground while a base has to be used..
