SINGAPORE – After registering on an app, visitors to Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) Jurong campus will no longer have to think about where or how to pay their parking fees.
Even without parking gantries, their car plates are captured upon entry and exit by video technology. The correct fee is then automatically calculated and billed to their credit or debit card, without the need for additional input of information in an app or a CashCard in the in-vehicle unit.
The vision is of a more seamless and hassle-free parking experience than currently offered elsewhere. Launched on Monday (Sept 14), Singapore’s “first barrier-free smart” carpark is now operational at three locations in the university. All 59 of NTU’s carparks, covering more than 4,000 parking spaces, are set to turn “smart” by the end of 2021.
“Smart carparks are integral to the smart cities of the future,” said Mr Ravinder Singh, president of ST Engineering’s electronics arm, which developed the new system.
