Abstract
The City of Montreal was looking to replace thousands of older parking meters with
more advanced technology. They wanted to install smart payment terminals that
would process various types of wireless secure e-payment. This information is sent
wirelessly to PDA’s used by the parking officers. Finally, the city wanted
centralized access to payment and parking utilization data as well as reliable
monitoring of the terminal’s performance and security.
The city issued a call for tender in order to evaluate parking systems that would
meet its requirements. Low power operation, low temperature operation and
wireless capability suggested XScale based systems as supplied by Applied Data
Systems to 8D Corporation, a division of Cale Access AB.
