2 2 Products and systems for car parks Sintel Van der Hoorn has the solutions to the challenges that car park owners and managers in the field of automatic fare collection in car parks have to face. Sintel Van der Hoorn offers a wide range of high level, technologically innovative products which guarantee first rate reliability and performance. Ten years at the leading edge has ensured the development of a system that can satisfy all the requirements of the market.

3 Flexibility and multifunctionality The Sintel_Mat system 3 Sintel Van der Hoorn with the Sintel_Mat system is offering solutions to any kind of challenges concerning automatic fare collection in car parks. Thanks to software performances and peripheral stations architecture, flexibility and easy future implementation of adaptable solutions is guaranteed. For example: - to centralise different town areas in a server with different connection technologies to provide integrated data management - to use stations that issue tickets/tokens of different types in each parking area - to rent two or four-wheel electrical vehicles with integrated and interconnected payment to the car park - to provide partial or total parking fee discount equipment in shops connected to the parking lot - to manage period subscriptions with other facilities, together with shops associated with the car park.

4 Sintel_Mat - your car park is on the WEB 4 Sintel_Mat and Internet All the services that the Internet can offer can be easily supplied by Sintel_Mat which has been fully designed and developed in the Windows environment. With any browser it is possible to visit the car park web site and see if there is free space at the time of arrival, to extend a subscription or to recharge a prepaid card, to make a car space reservation or to talk to an operator; managers can access information about the operation of the parking system and change the work settings.

5 Sintel_Mat the convenience of the microchip choice For many years Sintel Van der Hoorn has believed in the transponder technology and since 1992 it has designed a patented chip coin system. Occasional users, pressing a button, receive at the entrance an intelligent token that is automatically collected at the exit and reused by the system. The subscribers or the prepaid card owners use a transponder in the shape of a badge or a clip. Up to which point is it feasible to use the standard magnetic or barcode ticket in the next future? The Sintel_Mat token with a microchip reduces car park running expenses: - uses fewer items - reduces maintenance 5 - eliminates wear and tear - eliminates blocking. Other advantages Queue decreasing High speed car access increases traffic flow; we suggest installation where there are heavy traffic lanes. Maintenance The gravity fall of tokens extremely reduces the number of moving parts and contact parts, decreasing the need of preventive and corrective maintenance of reading/writing equipment. Recycling The microchip has a life of about 100,000 writing cycles. It can almost endlessly be recoded and is always effective and reliable with great economical and ecological advantages.

Entry and Exit stations 6 Sintel_Mat has the right ticket/token for your car park The Sintel_Mat system permits the choice of the most suitable type of ticket/token for a specific car park. From a structural point of view it is not necessary, in the same machine, to change the electronic board and software but only the ticket/token equipment that can dispense and collect: - barcode paper tickets - ISO/TRANSAC paper tickets with magnetic strip - transponder RFID chip tokens - ISO/TRANSAC/CHIP CARD /RFID transponder badges or clips for subscriptions or prepaid cards.

7 At the exit stations Sintel Van der Hoorn stands for professional implementation. It simplifies exit operations and offers high security against fare payment evasion and vehicle theft. At the exit station it is possible: - to read a barcode or magnetic ticket and to retain it - to read and write a second magnetic card such as debit/credit cards - to return the card - to verify the vehicle number plate connected to the ticket or the card - to print and to return the ticket to the user. 7 Or: - to collect a RFID microchip token - to read (at a distance from the station) a proximity card or clip and detect a subscriber or a prepaid card owner - to verify the vehicle license plate connected to the token or the card - to verify a second transponder fixed on the vehicle and to check that both are valid for the exit - to pay cash and to get change if due.

8 S i m p l e s o l u Barriers The double barrier working sequence 8 The barriers have an action time of approximately 1 second. They can be used in underground entries thanks to their folding arms. They are complete with all the necessary components for a correct installation. The installation of a second barrier regulates transit frequency; it avoids queuing and stops cheaters who attempt to exit without paying. Double barrier in stand-by position waiting for a transit Vehicle in exit cage inserting ticket/token Exit is authorised, the second barrier is open

9 t i o n s f o r c o m p l e x s y s t e m s Sintel_Mat the license plate recognition security Artificial intelligence at the service of the car park The automatic license plate recognition software applies artificial intelligence, artificial vision and intelligent character recognition and provides the result in less than 1 second. The system carries out digital license plate recognition by converting the image into an alphanumeric string which is sent to the transit control station: - it acquires the picture (one or more) when the vehicle arrives at the lane - it identifies the area where the license plate is located - it identifies the shapes inside the area that must be analysed - it detects the single characters that need processing. 9 Below: all the individual characters after recognition. All the characters included in the plate are recognised and the certainty percentage is calculated for each of them.

10 10 Control station The control station consists of a Personal Computer assembled and tested by Sintel Van der Hoorn. Its configuration can change depending on the customer's needs: removable hard disks, multiport RS232, etc. Computer performances are constantly kept up-to-date with market standards. The server and the cashier desk can coexist in the same personal computer. Other notebooks or desktop computers can be connected via LAN as additional operator cash desks. A desktop reader/programmer, a customer display and a receipt ticket printer are connected to the PCs. The operator simply inserts the token in the blue circle or the ticket in the reader and presses a button to confirm the takings. The remaining functions are performed by Sintel_Mat. After payment, the customer will receive the validated token or ticket required for the exit. If requested the printer can supply a receipt complete with all payment data and information as set up by the parking manager. The personal passwords assigned to staff are connected to ten access authorisation levels which permit the manager to define, as he likes, different authorisation profiles for his operators.

11 Sintel_Mat high technology payment systems The Sintel_Mat system competes with the most advanced technologies in car park fare payment. All the collection operations made by the operator take place at the automatic pay stations. Sintel Van der Hoorn has developed 2 products that meet market requirements: - Complete cash desk with TFT display and touch screen, 5 coin dispensers, debit/credit card reader, coin acceptor, banknote reader and banknote dispenser - Compact cash desk with graphic display, 2 coin dispensers, coin acceptor and banknote reader. The use of the automatic pay station is immediate. Operations can be carried out by users in a simple and practical way thereby considerably reducing the cashier s workload. The automatic pay station accepts coins, banknotes, prepaid cards, credit or debit cards and discount tokens. The Sintel_Mat software can be used with Euro or other currencies The operator can help the user from the operator desk. The manager can easily check collection. The configuration of the front panel depends on the functional requirements of the car park. Our high technology payment systems also accept non-operator payment for public service bills such as: - electricity - water 11 - gas - tickets - taxes - waste material disposal.

12 Automatic Pay Station 12 Discount Terminal This equipment reads the ticket/token and records a discount based on the tariffs specified in the Sintel_Mat software. It is particularly useful in shopping centers, hospitals, etc. It can be connected to the supermarket cashier and it can evaluate the discount according to shopping.

13 Mobile_Station Sintel Van der Hoorn, has been present for years in the market with palm terminals for street car park. Now we have completed the Sintel_Mat system with a portable equipment. Mobile_Station All the functions of a permanent station are available inside a practical, light and handy palm computer which is rechargeable and it has got high functional autonomy. How many times have you had so many cars at the exit that you have wished you had another exit gate? Do you need one more exit? How much does it cost, as to time and money, to increase the number of car park entries and exits? Do you need one more entry or cashier station? This equipment can be a solution for everything. It keeps all the transactions in its memory and, when required, sends all the collected data to the supervisor through a serial connection. This system produces a report of all registered transits if the palm computer has been used as an entry or exit station, and of all the collection transactions if it has been set up as an auxiliary cashier. It is possible to connect a receipt printer and to identify the type of user that has made the payment (occasional customers, subscribers, or prepaid card holders), the total amount cashed and the operator of the equipment that has done the operations, as you would be able to do in a permanent cashier's desk. 13 Car park automation made-to-measure

14 Pass_Gate pedestrian or vehicular access station Display 14 Pass_Gate, the station for pedestrian access control, allows or denies pedestrian access and it has the ability to store transit data and send them to the supervisor system. It is used for elevator control, for pedestrian access to car park areas and for access restrictions to A free/full display immediately provides basic information. A flexible and complete management of area occupation allows users to obtain useful and quick parking information. The calculating of free spaces on each floor can be done even if the personal computer is switched off or the barriers are open. The system changes automatically from spaces available to full and viceversa blocking and unblocking in real time the entry lanes depending on both the free spaces and the parameters set by the manager using Sintel_Mat software. The update of the number of spaces available in an area or subarea is carried out by a special counting module that also operates the traffic lights inside the parking lot. The displays can be installed on pedestals, support stakes or hangers. internal areas of car parks already equipped with vehicle or people access control at external entries. If access permission is obtained, Pass_Gate will switch on a relay connected to a door or to a turnkey system.

15 Sintel_Mat the best software Our intuitive graphical user interface offers problem free use. Each single action performed by the operators can be recorded in the database for later analysis. In this way it is possible to easily identify the operator responsible for the car park at a certain time. The operator can fulfil the necessary functions in different ways, issuing new subscriptions and deduction cards, transits and tables management, monitoring the alarms etc. The features that make Sintel_Mat a unique product include the modelling of the program and the choice of language and currency. The communication program The personal computer is connected on line to all the peripheral stations. Therefore it is possible to send all the information necessary for correct working to the stations at any time. It is also possible to send commands for single functions when it is necessary. The Reports There are many possible reports; Sintel Van der Hoorn can also create software that satisfies customers' special requirements. A single click is enough and the operator can operate the barriers and oversee each type of users. Town central supervision Central car park supervision greatly reduces operational costs and increases both the facility of use and security. All the data is transmitted in real time to one guarded operating center so that each parking lot does not need 24 hour supervision. A Master PC makes the connections with all the stations and exchanges data with Slave PCs located in car park areas or directly with the stations. The Sintel_Mat software is in charge of the automatic transfer of all data to all the PCs. 15
