Spectacular Revenue Control
 
 

Parking Office - System Servers

Whether the motivation is to speed up the exit lanes, reduce employment costs, collect all the parking revenue due, or a combination of all of these things, fully automated entry and exit lanes are gaining increasing popularity in the U.S. market.
Customer Satisfaction - End the aggravation your clients experience when busy entry and exit lanes back up - when seconds can feel like minutes.
Traffic flow management - Speed up and free up the back-up onto the street on entry. Quickly move cars in to your garage and start charging for parking sooner,
Control of your revenue - When you use an automated central cashiering system, the attendant does not touch the money. All funds paid are accounted for and reported back to your desk. Hourly, end of day, or real-time.
Save money on employment costs - Remove the attendants from the exit lanes save roughly $30,000 per year per attendant. In a 24/7 operation that translates to $135,000 per lane, per year! Return on investment calculations can be less than four months!
Also available are credit card in and credit card out, attended central cashiering and traditional pay-in-lane.

 
 
  The best audit trail in the industry  
  The Secom 030 Server system documents all lane and system activity, retains information on every ticket taken; when it received validations, when it was processed, when it was cashiered, when the transaction was cancelled, when the ticket reappeared, what transactions happened in the meantime, and if any other autos were able to exit between transactions. Hourly summaries. Cumulative activity. All permanently logged on the system hard-drive and handed-off to a relational database for further analysis.  
 
 
  Non-hackable operating system  
  Hackers go elsewhere! Secom does more than write a parking revenue or security application that resides on an "open platform". Secom writes the operating system as well. While others systems using Windows-based products are slow to "reboot", the Secom system resets instantly if there's ever a need to take it down or there's an interruption of power.  
 
 
  Powerful reporting tools  
  Detailed activity reports can be generated on an as needed basis or set-up to run on a regular reporting schedule. Either direct reporting from the Server 030 or the easy-to-use DataView single screen query builder. Charts, graphs and variance information can be formatted using standard word processing and spreadsheet tools.

Floor Indicator
Level Count Displays
Overview

The Secom Level Count Display System increments and decrements cars entering and leaving each level on the garage and displays real-time parking space availability at the entrance to the garage and even at each level as a reminder to the parking patron of current availability.

This versatile level count system can be integrated into any existing Secom system or can be used in a stand-alone fashion.  The small but powerful Secontroller 15 combined with Monitor Control Terminals (MCT’s) and a series of vehicle detection loops combine to give your parking patrons the high level of service and information they need to quickly find available parking spaces.

System can be programmed to display the actual number of spaces available, a rounded down number for ease of recognition and identification, or for the very busy high volume garage a number that reflects the hysteresis in the true number of vehicles in transit on the level that are either approaching and vacating possible parking spaces.

Signs are fabricated from stainless steel and are available in post-mounted, wall-mounted or anchored to concrete deck.  Signs are standard black powder-coated or can be customized from a wide choice of colors.

Features
Bright red long lasting LED lighting
Bold 4’ height numbers & letters

Card Readers

Secom Cards and Readers - Technology to fit every application!
The Secard

Designed initially to control the transfer of billions of dollars in the banking industry, the Secard is a unique technology.  It is extremely difficult to duplicate and impossible to create other cards in the pack.  In other words, if you have card one, two and three, in your possession, you cannot create card four or 100 or 1000.  The privacy and security of your staff is safe with Secom.

All Secom cards, whether insertion or proximity, can be special printed with your artwork, and if necessary, can be used as a photo identification card
The Readers

Designed initially to control the transfer of billions of dollars in the banking industry, the Secard is a unique technology.  It is extremely difficult to duplicate and impossible to create other cards in the pack.  In other words, if you have card one, two and three, in your possession, you cannot create card four or 100 or 1000.  The privacy and security of your staff is safe with Secom.

All Secom cards, whether insertion or proximity, can be special printed with your artwork, and if necessary, can be used as a photo identification card.

The insertion card technology is tried and proven.  With many different reader designs, from door to gate, from environmentally secure upward insertion to special mountings for mullions and posts, this card reader fits any mounting application with ease.  All Secom readers are configured to work with intercoms if desired.

The proximity technology is the industry leader.  With three different read ranges (short – 4”; medium – 7”; and long range – 24”) plus automatic vehicle identification systems for window up parking applications, Secom technology was selected with all the possible uses in mind.

There are two types of AVI favored by Secom; one, with the active battery powered card mounted in the front window of the vehicle (this enables the card to move from vehicle to vehicle if necessary).  The second is mounted under the vehicle.  This technology allows the “reader” to be mounted in the driveway much the same as a loop detector and greatly reduces the incidence of cross talk between lanes.

Don’t be mislead.  Although it may seem that long range technology might work for all applications, quite the opposite is true.  Possibilities of a card being read by two readers simultaneously or accidentally read are great.

Validation Systems
Validation Systems
Overview

Only Secom offers three ways to provide validations to your customers for automatic, non attended parking system.

Our on-line validator makes validating machine readable tickets quick and easy, and virtually theft proof.

Our validation coupon program which used preprinted validation coupons that are assigned a value at the system, is perfect where hard wiring validator are not possible. 

The most exotic is our validation issuing machine which actually creates validation coupons at the customer’s site with preprogrammed values and if you wish, expirations dates.

In Detail

Secom ON-Line validators are typically located in areas of high validation activity (theatre ticket booth, restaurant, cashier locations, etc).   When the ticket is presented for validation, it is read by the validator and its unique number is stored in the central system memory.  When the ticket is presented at exit, the amount of the validation is automatically taken into consideration when the fee is computed.

This unit makes it now possible to properly validate pay on foot tickets, formerly a cumbersome and unauditable task.  Its uses include high volume grocery stores to ensure only store users get proper parking reductions, shopping malls with theaters to assist in fast lane throughput and proper auditing, and hotels with banquet validation requirements.
Other facilities that are natural users of the on-line validator include health clubs that share parking with other operations, hospitals, universities and other institutions.

  • The system can allow that maximum number of validations are issued per validator or can keep track of the validations so the validating company can be billed later.
  • There can be up to four optional keys on the validator so that the person  validating the ticket can select different amounts of validations (half hour, one hour, all day).
  • There is a red/green indicator that notifies that a validation has taken place
  • The unit can come with an optional card reader to allow the validating party to “sign on and off” to prevent improper validation uses and track just who issued the validation.

    In applications where wiring on-line validators may be inconvenient, or where only a few validations are issued each day, validation coupons are the answer.  They are issued to the validating party in books, each book having a different time or money valiue of the coupon is taken into consideration when the ticket rate is computed.

    The validation coupons are marked as having been used, and are secured in a vault with the cashiered tickets until picked up.  A report is generated telling the garage manager just how many validation coupons of each type are in the vault so they can be properly audited and secured.

This system actually issues validations in bulk, with specific values based on the requirements of the customer or operator.  For instance, an off airport location may require 500 worth $5 to five to travel agents to put in with tickets they issue.  The validation can have an expiration date and must be used propr to that date to be valid.

Another application might be a theater or sports complex offering season tickets and corresponding parking.  The coupons can be programmed to work only on specific days and specific times.  They can be mailed out to the ticket holders and used as entry and exit passes only on the day specified.

The Validation Issuing Machine ison-line with the Secom system and can be told by the Secom system and can be told by the garage manager to issue a certain number of coupons that are good on a certain day (or until a certain day) for a specific amount.  Once the coupon has been used it is removed from the system and cannot be used again.
