Functional Description

Ticket Issue
APP 3100 issues tickets by customer’s request or automatically when a vehicle is detected. The customer is provided with easy to understand visual and voice messages to help minimize traffic congestions. The ticket request button is illuminated and flashes when active. The ticket dispense slot is also illuminated and flashes when the ticket is ready to be taken. In online mode the ticket information is instantly reported to the APP 3900 parking management server.

Ticket Recall
Detects vehicle direction and reports all back-out tickets to the server for immediate invalidation thus eliminating illegal use of stolen or uncollected tickets.

Integration
The Ethernet TCP/IP communication allows integration in existing small or enterprise networks including wireless and Internet which tremendously reduces operational and management cost.

Remote Programming
All station’s parameters are fully online programmable including voice messages upload and software updates. This allows greater flexibility and lowers the operation and maintenance cost. In case of Internet connection to the APP3000 system, remote access eliminates the need of field trips to collect data or change the configuration.

Ticket Transport Mechanism
Capable of processing standard credit card size ISO7810 fan fold tickets - cutting, magnetic encoding and impact printing. Ticket capture capability. Supports reading an writing ISO1, ISO2 and ISO3 magnetic tracks from 75 to 210 bpi; low, medium or high coercivity. Impact 9 pins print head prints up to 40 alphanumeric characters. The printing line is manually regulated at any position. Self sharpening rotary cutter for fan fold ticket stock, thickness range from 0.16 to 0.23 mm.

Video Monitoring
With an optional camera installed, each transaction can be mapped to a picture snapshot providing valuable information for preventing car theft. The picture snapshot is shown to the cashier at the APP 3400 Fee Computer station when the fee is calculated. The camera can also be used for 24h surveillance purposes eliminating the need of costly coaxial cabling through the entire parking facility. In case of an Internet connection to the APP 3900 server the video is also transmitted over the Internet.

Real time speech synthesis and audio playback
APP3100 provides the patron with audio instructions during normal operation or in case of unusual events. APP3100 supports real time speech synthesis and can play text messages distributed by the system server. This makes possible playing custom messages for a particular patron. For example – saying a monthly patron's name when entering/exiting the garage, reminding the monthly patron when a payment due is coming, and even saying customized happy birthday wishes and playing music. Such features dramatically improve the garage appearance and put a personal touch in the patrons' overall parking experience.
