Singapore ETC Smart Parking

Singapore is not only a garden city, but also one of the wealthiest cities in the world, and its intelligence development is also the world's leading. In line with the core concept of "people-oriented, market-oriented", we provide a more complete transportation service experience and ensure the sustainable and coordinated development of the transportation system, the economy and the environment. In line with the construction of public transportation, the Electronic Road Pricing System (ERP) was officially put into use in September 1998. Different charging strategies can be formed according to the speed of road traffic, and the purpose of reducing congestion can be achieved by suppressing excessive self-driving demand. At present, 47 ERP toll stations have been built, mainly distributed at the entrances of urban control areas and expressways. A two-piece In-vehicle Unit (IU) with a cash card is installed in every vehicle in Singapore as mandated by law, at the government's expense. Very similar to the domestic OBU, it uses the 2.4GHz active microwave communication technology of Mitsubishi, Japan. At the beginning of the construction of the ERP system, the parking application was incorporated into the development plan.

Singapore has a small area and limited resources. There are more than 1,800 parking lots. The charging model of parking lots has gone through a long process of development. Today, combined with the launch of the ERP system, ETC parking has come to the forefront and has become the first choice for most parking lot managers. Beginning in 2000, the government-affiliated properties took the lead in building a demonstration system. The public has a high degree of acceptance of ETC and spontaneously appeals to the property to provide relevant services, forming a favorable and favorable social atmosphere. Since 2005, the property management side has invested heavily in the upgrading of ETC parking.

There is no doubt that the success of Singapore's smart parking system is closely related to the integration of ERP electronic road pricing technology applied on urban roads with parking lot scenarios. With advanced electronic wallet and microwave communication technology as the core, unattended automatic non-stop traffic is realized at the entrance and exit of the parking lot. At the same time, non-cash payment methods such as electronic deduction are used to realize the convenient collection of parking fees; the parking lot operation center Through the centralized management software and system management platform, the remote management and monitoring of the operation status of the lanes is carried out, and the parking service with good experience is provided to the car owners and users, which also improves the operation efficiency and effectively reduces the operation cost. This is the origin of the ETC parking service model of "nothing but collection".
