Problems/challenges in integrating traffic and parking systems with other systems?
In Smart Parking Segment, we found that it was not an easy task to integrate the products with systems as the interface was to be developed as per the requirement of the area in which the solution is to be implemented, which has been eventually achieved in a record time. The Smart Parking Solutions are easy to install, display and implement while converting from conventional Parking to Smart Parking theme. We had to train the staff initially in accordance to the technology implemente. Women constitute about 50% of our parking staff. Our experience shows that women in particular manage the system very efficiently.
In toll collection segment, we have so far not faced any serious problems while integrating the system, as we have demonstrated the desired level of expertise.
