Economic development and technological progress have created a convenient era for us. Online shopping, telephone billing, online banking… Countless examples fully illustrate the greatly improved convenience of our lives. People are accustomed to being “spoiled” by this life of eating without leaving home, work or even shopping-they have higher expectations and requirements for modern technology. Everyone is looking forward to more life troubles, such as long queues at service windows such as banks and telecommunications businesses, and the delivery of various living expenses can also be simplified through advanced technology.
The parking lot management that took place in Taipei, through the use of barcode technology, effectively solved the problems of car owners paying fees and government management time-consuming and labor-intensive problems. It fully reflects that science and technology have entered a deeper level of people’s lives. This gives us a great inspiration: maybe the solution to the problem is not far from life.
challenge
Parking management in Taipei City has long been managed by the Parking Management Office. The administrator issues toll receipts for vehicles parked on the roadside, and the owners pay the fees themselves at designated locations. A total of more than 25,000 parking spaces means that the staff have 24 million handwritten receipts every day. At the same time, the data of each car owner who pays a fee is manually filed and established by the management office. Among them, manual field tour handwritten payment slips and manual file creation are two time-consuming and labor-intensive links. For car owners, in the rainy Taipei, handwritten receipts are often soaked in rain and cannot be recognized. In addition, the manual file creation method also restricts the sharing of car file information between cities. Car owners can only pay for parking fees locally. Coupled with the limited number of payment points, the payment of parking fees has become a pain for car owners.
How to build a parking environment that can reduce the trouble for car owners and reduce the workload of parking administrators has become an urgent problem for the Taipei City Parking Management Office.
Beginning in 1994, Taipei City has changed the management method of roadside toll parking lots that has been manually patrolled for 20 years, and established an e-parking environment through the application of mobile barcode printing technology.
solution
Since September 1994, the Taipei Parking Management Office has adopted 110 sets of PDAs to issue parking payment notices. Write data through PDA and use mobile printer to output data anytime and anywhere, achieving efficient and convenient parking management effect, greatly improving management efficiency and reducing management costs; it also provides convenience for the majority of car owners and solves the difficulty of parking payment The problem.
In the new roadside parking management mode, the toll administrator enters vehicle information such as vehicle number, parking section, parking rate and other vehicle information into the handheld computer. The small printer that you carry with you will automatically overprint the parking repayment notice according to the input information and place it on the windshield wiper of the car.
Since 2004, Taipei City has installed 600 sets of parking management systems including Zebra’s Cameo mobile printers and Unitech’s PA962. The efficiency of parking management has been further improved on the basis of the original E-based parking management system. The advantages of mobile barcode printing technology are fully demonstrated in this system. The compact and lightweight printer not only reduces the manual workload of the management staff, but the uniqueness of the barcode has also become the basis for the establishment of the entire database, ensuring the accuracy of data collection. Through the control of the terminal system, receipts with barcodes can be paid at supermarkets, banks and other collection points. In the future, car owners can even use mobile phones or the Internet to make online bank payments. Payment notices printed out through Unitech PA962 and Zebra Cameo mobile printers The use of thermal printing paper with good water resistance can ensure that the documents are intact in the rainy season, and avoid the inconvenience of payment for car owners and the delay of management fees caused by the damage of data.

Cameo mobile printer is Zebra Technology’s product specifically for retail, catering, traffic management and other fields that require on-site services. Not only does it inherit the traditional advantages of reliable quality of Zebra products, its small size is also easy to carry, and does not burden users.
Through the implementation of e-parking management, the Taipei City Government can save more than 10 million yuan in parking management files each year, greatly reducing the cost of manpower and material resources. In addition, the cost of data collection at the management office has been reduced by approximately 45%. Such a modern parking management system not only saves the government money and improves work efficiency, but also brings a lot of convenience to the lives of citizens.
The integration of barcodes and modern management systems has deep applications in many industries. From traditional logistics applications to existing parking lot management applications. Bar codes are getting closer and closer to people’s lives. As we have seen, more and more new technologies bring more convenience to our lives than we can imagine. In a life still plagued by many problems, I believe that more surprises brought by modern technology are worth looking forward to.
