The Stradas will be monitored via Parkeons Parkfolio centralised management system on a PC in the Councils offices.
This generates a warning or alarm whenever a machine requires attention and enables us to monitor parking activity in real-time. This ensures that we optimise our parking revenues, whilst also providing a reliable service for drivers, explains Jason Benjamin, the Councils Parking Manager.
Poole has opted for the coin-only version of the Strada Rapide,
which has an easily exchangeable coin box designed to make the cash collection process a quick, safe and easy procedure. At the same time, the machines also offer unparalleled levels of security.
They will be finished in Parkeons exclusive metallic Titanium Grey.
