Chinese New Year Holiday & EPS System

This week is a 2 day week since work only started on Thursday. I had a great 5 days packed with activities and visiting to relatives houses. But the only disadvantage to having such a long holiday is the number of emails and mails that had been sent and posted during the CNY period. It took me 2 full hours to finish reading and reply to those inquiries from the resident. The number of phone calls did not stop even during lunch time....

I am barely able to read up more on the Electronic Parking System (EPS) that Mr Chan hopes to implement on one of our commercial buildings. Let me share with you some basics to EPS.

Common EPS that can be found in most carparks

Components of EPS System

The following is how the system work when a car enters a EPS equipped carpark;

1) Upon Entering; EPS Antenna reads the IU serial number in the car, non-local motorist will have to insert their cashcard into the Entry Station to get a ticket

2) Data will be stored in the validation terminal/ Data of season parker will be stored in here too

3) Upon exit; those with IU will had their fee deducted directly, while those with tickets will have to insert their cashcards to pay for the fee

The reason why i chose to read up is because of the meeting with the supplier of this EPS. Hopefully the meeting will not dragged and we will be able to focus more on the cost of this system.
