What I value most is the straightforward, cooperative partnership and how user-friendly the system is. The digital, barrier-free solution makes parking management much simpler, reduces administrative work and ensures a smooth process for operators and users alike.

The challenge

An error-prone system at its limit

Until September 2021, the treetop walk used an outdated barrier system with a separate cash machine. The combination of unreliable technology and cash-only payment caused noticeable problems every day: at peak times, cars queued not only in the car park but also on the adjacent road. The system had been installed in 2018 and could no longer cope with operations.

Our solution

A future-proof digital parking system

The first contact with Peter Park came through the mobile parking provider Parkster. The goal was a barrier-free solution that would permanently fix the congested traffic flow. In September 2021, the new system was installed and put into operation within two days. Since then, licence plate scanners automatically record every vehicle entering and leaving. Payment is flexible: by entering the licence plate at the pay station on site, in cash or contactless, or via app. Error-prone magnetic stripe tickets are a thing of the past.

the future of parking?
