Cazarma 90 - smart parking in the center of Sibiu

Besides the residents who transit the city center even daily, Sibiu is visited annually by a significant number of tourists (the pre-pandemic peak reached 20 million tourists in 2019). The need for parking spaces, as in any crowded city, is very high. Therefore, the modernization of the parking known as Cazarma 90 was more than welcome for both locals and tourists.

Parkomatic System Integrated with the GoPark App for a Smart Experience

KADRA specialists proposed and installed a Parkomatic system for automatic parking management which is integrated both with the GoPark app, also developed by KADRA to simplify parking administration and driver experience, and with the local Sibiu Parking app, providing this city with a Smart Mobility system. Practically, from the Sibiu Parking app, the user is directed to the GoPark app, where, after quickly creating a profile, they can scan the barcode on the ticket and pay directly with the card enrolled in the app. Upon exit, based on the LPR cameras that identify the license plate, the barrier will lift without any further operation required from the driver.

The system is equipped with two automatic kiosks with modern functional design, quality materials, high safety level, and modular functionalities that allow adjustments according to needs, as well as integration and versatility regarding high-speed payment methods.

Secure Access with the License Plate Recognition System

At the entrance and exit of the parking, LPR video cameras have been installed to recognize the vehicle’s license plate. This system allows that, after payment is made at the automatic kiosks or via the app, upon exiting the parking, there is no need to scan the barcode – the barrier will lift automatically after the license plate is identified by the video cameras.

For the same reasons of modernization and to increase the operational speed at the entrance and exit of the parking, the barriers were replaced with fast automatic barriers for heavy traffic, which open in less than a second, also featuring built-in RGB LEDs on the arm for optimal visibility of the open-closed positions.

Parkomatic parking systems allow payment by contactless card and mobile phone via NFC, as well as with banknotes and coins. They are much simpler and more intuitive to use, with instructions displayed on a generous screen.

The Advantages of Integration with the GoPark App

The GoPark app was developed by KADRA’s specialists experienced in parking systems to facilitate, on one hand, the way parking lots are managed for operators, and, on the other hand, to create as smooth and comfortable an experience as possible for drivers using a parking system equipped with Parkomatic automatic kiosks and the GoPark app.

Here are just a few of its advantages:

Allows enrollment of the vehicle’s license plate and bank card;
Allows registered users to pay for the parking ticket with the enrolled bank card by scanning it with the mobile app and selecting the payment option;
Allows unregistered users to pay for the parking ticket by card, by scanning the ticket with the mobile app and manually entering the bank card details;
