Parking Made Easy With Electronic Parking System (EPS)

Source : TODAY, Wednesday, August 29, 2007

With Electronic Parking System (EPS) now implemented in 53 carparks islandwide, parking has become hassle-free.

The EPS pilot project started off in two carparks in 2003 and has been expanded to 53 HDB carparks, with more to come. There are five established service providers who manage and operate the EPS carparks 24 hours a day.

Using a closed-circuit television and intercom system linked to their control centres, they are able to operate the EPS remotely, monitor vehicular movement and communicate with motorists.

The system also dispenses receipts for motorists who need parking fee reimbursement from their respective companies. With no changes to the current parking rates, motorists can even benefit from the 10-minute grace period provided.

And motorists pay less in comparison to coupon parking as they are only charged for the actual parking duration on a per-minute basis.
