Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR)

This is a hardware device that reads the magnetic stripe and converts the information stored there into data usable by a computer or controller.

 

Coding Station

This is a computer equipped with encoding software, connected to a ticket validator. These are typically used to allow cashiers to update the magnetic strip on parking tickets with new information (such as rates, payments, and more).

 

Exit the verification process

This is the hardware installed in the lane, where customers insert their split invoices showing the payment they’ve made. The hardware verifies the payment and then raises the barrier. The exit validator is also referred to as the exit station.

 

Central Cashier Counter

The central cashier can be either a person (a cashier) or a payment station. After processing, customers take their tickets and insert them into the exit validator. A human central cashier can also collect checks and sell permits. Importantly, it’s located in the center—and typically not situated within the traffic lanes.

 

Entrance Station

This is an online cashier station or booth available at the facility entrance for collecting parking fees; distributing tokens, tickets, or other items indicating vehicle entry time or validity; or verifying permits—or other authorization—for entry.

 

Automatic Payment Station (APS)

Automatic payment stations enable automated ticket processing at central cashier facilities. They can supplement and/or replace human cashiers. Sometimes these stations are referred to as walk-up payment systems—or paid-at-the-lane machines. Automatic payment stations accept multiple payment methods and provide receipts.

 

Lane Controller

These are the electronic components within the hardware associated with the lane. They orchestrate activities in the lane, activating and deactivating devices based on triggers such as the presence of vehicles. Lane controllers typically send and receive data from an online central database to enable access to facilities.

 

Counting System

This is a system used to track the number of parkers by employing sensors—such as loops, infrared devices, cameras, and more—that detect vehicles passing over or crossing them. The counting system is also referred to as an occupancy system.
