3.3 eParcVal (Online Validated Tickets)
Entry tickets can be virtually validated using the eParcVal option included in the
Amano McGann eParcSuite software. This procedure describes the online
validated ticket process:
1.
The patron receives a ticket from the entry Ticket Dispenser.
2.
Once the patron is ready to leave the facility, the patron brings the ticket to
the facility office where it is validated via the eParcVal application.
3.
The patron approaches the OPUS-4700/4800 Exit Terminal
4.
When the “A” loop has sensed a vehicle, the Terminal will arm and the
transaction screen will display notifying the patron to insert the entry ticket.
5.
The fee is processed based on the validation associated with the ticket.
6.
The fee is paid and the gate is vended.
7.
The gate is lowered once the “C” loop has sensed the vehicle.
3.4 Discount Types
There are five methods used to discount parking fees at the OPUS-4700/4800
Exit Terminal and one method to add a fixed fee to the calculated fee.
Note: If multiple discounts are applied to the same transaction,
the percentage discount will apply to the total gross fee.
3.4.1 Full Amount
This type of discount subtracts the full amount from the total calculated fee.
3.4.2 Exit Time Discount
Beginning with the exit time, this type of discount subtracts an amount of time
from the sequence of time intervals defined in the rate file. The only time an exit
time discount can be used predictably is when all sequences of the fee table are
equal in length of time as well as fee amount.
Exit Time Discount Fee Table Example:
Sequence # Fee Amount Per Time Interval Parking Rate Displayed
1 $5.00 for 30 minutes
Up to 30 minutes of parking is $5.00
2 $3.00 for 1 hour
Up to 1.5 hours of parking is $8.00
3 $1.00 for 1.5 hours
Up to 3 hours of parking is $9.00
