INTRODUCTION
The IPS Single Space Parking Meter (SSPM) is a revolutionary product designed to
enhance a city’s current single space parking system by providing additional payment
options (such as credit card), access to real-time data (via web-based management
system), without disruption of current parking meter operations.
The primary features of the IPS credit card enabled single-space parking meters include:
IPS single space parking meters are capable of accepting payment via coins, tokens,
credit
cards,
debit
cards,
and
smart
cards
at
the
meter
terminal
IPS single space parking meters are wirelessly networked and connected to a web-
based management system
– no additional customer software other than an Internet
browser shall be required. The meter communicates in a similar fashion to a cell
phone, and makes calls under three scenarios: (1) credit card use, (2) fault
notification, (3) schedule daily call-in
IPS single space parking meters use solar panel and rechargeable battery-pack to
provide ongoing power and backup power
IPS single space parking meters can wirelessly notify parking operations staff of any
faults via a text message, email, or both
IPS single space parking meter Management System provides a variety of reports
detailing financial, technical, and administrative functions via a single web-portal,
including but not limited to credit card reconciliation, cash collection reports, coin box
level (% full), and GPS location of meters. (please refer to the management system
user manual for complete details)
While the meter does provide a number of advanced features, it functions very similarly
to current electronic single space parking meters, making implementation of this system
easy and intuitive.

primary operating features of this meter, as well as the basic maintenance activities that
