information
Basic information
Terminals are used as check-in/out points for automatic entry and exit of vehicles. Drivers can control the terminals without having to leave their cars. Terminals are protected against misuse by induction loops installed in front of them. Terminals become active only if there is a vehicle detected above the induction loop. The design of both the entry and exit terminal cabinets is the same, their specific use depends on the peripherals installed in the front panel.

Entry terminal
The entry terminal is located at the car park entry and it allows drivers automatic entry
Entry process
1. The driver arrives at the entry terminal and presses the button for the parking ticket issue.
2. The issue of a ticket is conditioned by the presence of a vehicle at the entry terminal while the presence of the vehicle is monitored by the induction loop detector. If the terminal recognizes the presence of a vehicle, it issues a parking ticket to the driver. If not, the issue of a parking ticket is not enabled.
3. After the driver has taken the parking ticket from the slot, the barrier arm is raised.
4. The barrier closes after the vehicle has left the security induction loop under the barrier arm.
Functions and features
● automatic issue of short-term parking cards (single entry bar code parking tickets/cards, magnetic stripe paper cards) only when a vehicle is detected above the induction loop in front of the terminal
● check of the authorization to enter the car park and the permitting of the entry
● authentication of the validity of congress, long-term and prepaid value parking cards
● automatic blocking of the issue of further parking cards when the car park is fully occupied
● notification of the lack of paper for parking card printing before it runs out
● dispensing slot equipped with the parking card sensor
● highly resistant stainless steel push button for the issue of parking cards
Exit terminal
The exit terminal is located at the car park exit and it allows drivers automatic exit
Exit process
1. Prior to the exit from the car park, the customer needs to pay a fee for used parking services in the automatic pay station or manual pay station
2. The driver places the paid parking ticket to the exit terminal scanner and, after the barrier has raised, he or she leaves the car park area
3. If the induction loop detector recognizes the presence of a vehicle, the terminal gives a command to the automatic road barrier to open and the driver can leave the car park
4. The barrier closes only after the vehicle has left the security induction loop under the barrier arm
5. If the parking fee was not paid, the parking ticket would not be accepted by the terminal and the driver would not be allowed to leave the car park
Functions and features
● reading of parking cards of leaving vehicles
