At Equinsa Parking, we know that an access, management and payment system for a car park is much more than just a barrier that goes up and down. It is a system and a software solution that are essential for the security, efficiency and smooth running of any car park. For urban car parks, shopping centres, hospitals, hotels and other large facilities, choosing the right access and payment system is vital. Not all systems are the same, and the right choice depends directly on the type and requirements of your car park. <\/p>\n

Here we explain what you need to bear in mind to make the best decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Type of Car Park:<\/b><\/p>\n

Light, Moderate or Heavy Traffic?<\/strong> This is, perhaps, the most important factor. A car park with 50 vehicles coming and going each day does not need the same system as one with several hundred or even as many as a thousand.
\u2013 Low traffic (0\u2013200 entries per day): <\/strong>For this type of car park, we recommend our ESSENS system, which offers outstanding quality whilst being more cost-effective. We recommend the ALT-1000 access barrier.
\u2013 Medium traffic (200\u2013500 entries per day): <\/strong>car parks that typically combine time-based parking charges with use by season ticket holders, with specific peak entry and exit times. Our SENSE system is currently the best-selling solution in this sector. We recommend the ALT-1000 or SENSE access barrier.
>\u2013 High traffic (< 2 >500 entries per day): <\/strong>Intensive use with peak entry and exit times and a very consistent flow throughout the day. For this level of traffic, we always recommend the SENSE system in conjunction with the ESPARK Ticketless system. A SENSE access barrier is recommended. <\/p>\n

2. System characteristics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The car park access and payment system must have the following features, which will set it apart in the market:<\/p>\n

Flexibility. A system that adapts uniquely to each car park. No two car parks are the same, and our software is designed with this in mind.Integration. We know you may need to integrate it with SMART CITY initiatives or Low Emission Zones (LEZs), an ERP system or specific applications.Scalability. A car park must evolve and be able to adapt to future needs. We know how to do it!Adaptability. What would our society be like if it didn\u2019t adapt?\u2026 The same applies to a car park; throughout its lifespan, it will need to be able to adapt to changing and constantly evolving mobility trends. Equinsa Parking adapts with you.Versatility. Integrating digital platforms, new payment methods, web-based systems, QR code payments, electric vehicle charging systems\u2026 and doing all this across different countries\u2026 that\u2019s Equinsa Parking. <\/p>\n

3. Additional Features and Security<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beyond raising and lowering barriers, issuing parking tickets or allowing payment at a car park pay-and-display machine, Equinsa Parking\u2019s modern car park management and access systems offer much more than you might imagine:Security: Our equipment has been designed to ensure the security of both the hardware and software, thereby guaranteeing their operational reliability and functionality.
Image: Modern systems, featuring large-format touchscreens, lighting and user-friendliness, which are constantly evolving.
Integration: Equinsa Parking\u2019s systems can be integrated into a wide range of scenarios where parking forms part of a wider mobility concept, such as a Low-Emission Zone, a Smart City, digitalisation or centralised parking management.
Durability: Equipment designed to be robust, durable and capable of withstanding adverse weather conditions, suitable for use in coastal areas, rainy regions, mountainous terrain and areas with extreme temperatures\u2026 where reliable operation must be guaranteed.
Development: Our systems and equipment are constantly evolving, as car parks are a dynamic service and their access and payment systems must proactively adapt to these changes.<\/p>\n

4. Energy Consumption and Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Efficiency: Our systems and equipment incorporate energy-efficient technology, which can lead to significant long-term savings.Sustainability: Imagine a car park without tickets\u2026 or where the receipt or invoice can be sent to the customer by email directly from the pay station. It\u2019s a reality. <\/p>\n

Reducing CO emissions: The vehicle that pollutes the least is the one that parks quickly. We offer a range of efficient car park access solutions, and by installing a car park guidance system, vehicles will park more quickly inside, resulting in lower pollution and reduced energy consumption by the car park\u2019s ventilation systems. Have you ever thought about that?Ease of maintenance: A design that allows easy access to internal components, thereby reducing repair costs and time. <\/p>\n
