ADDING VALUE BY SUBTRACTING THE CASH

Norwich City Council's Parking Services Manager describes why the council opted for a contactless infra-red smart card season ticket system for its car parks. The old version is available either quarterly, half-yearly or annually and limited to a single car park or groups of car parks. The new system provides more flexibility of use and choice, choice of price and parking location, convenience of use and payment, and a reduction in service delivery costs. The new service is provided by International Transact Systems Management Ltd. The card encryption and time-varying algorithm ensures code changes each time the card is used, making it virtually impossible to copy. The central transaction processing system is the main collection point for transacted data.
