One of the most frustrating aspects for customers of parking garages, office blocks, and shopping malls are the lack of automated pay on foot systems. The frustration of having to go to a specific booth to pay for parking or only paying when at the exit makes the trip tedious for the customer. IDTEK provides automated pay on foot systems that can read the customer’s ticket, provide an accurate cost quote, receive coins and notes, as well as provide change. With the pay on foot systems being connected to the gate terminals the client can simply enter the ticket at the exit without having to wait in line. The boom will lift if the ticket has been paid. Should there be a problem at the pay on foot systems a help button can be pressed which will bring the customer in contact with a security assistant. Combine this with surveillance and the problem can be solved remotely.
