PKE and PKM Lines

Hands hold a smartphone displaying a QR code and parking machine is in background

A common main feature in PKE and PKM is that the automatic cashier is not only a payment terminal but also a complete multifunctional station. With a compact design and the latest technology the Automatic Payment Station can work as a manual cashier, so users can purchase parking products, get discounts, or use promotions. Advertising can be included, too.

Both lines provide a low maintenance solution whilst maintaining efficiency during the demand required by high operation facilities. The Car Park Central Unit can be installed in the Automatic Payment Station, so the system becomes more robust and secure, always working (because when the communication with the Cloud Services fails, the Central Unit keeps controlling the car park system). This embedded Central Unit consists of an industrial solid-state disk computer located inside an Automatic Payment Station, so no additional control room is required any longer and the system can easily work remotely attended.

Thanks to the Multi-Car Park Platform, car parks situated across the globe can be managed by just one employee located anywhere, using a Smartphone or a Tablet.

All machines are European DDA-ADA standards EN 301 549 compliance.

PKE Line

A fusion of Italian style and Spanish ingenuity, CAME Parkare’s first joint venture parking system, PKE, combines the CAME PS-One and Parkare Elegance systems with the latest technology to create a powerful, high-end parking system, that will offer a new dimension to the parking industry.

Row of six, grey parking payment machines in various sizes

CAME Parkare offers both thermal paper roll (QR, barcode, etc.) and magnetic strip ticket technology. Machines can work full-time due to the 2 printers' redundancy with a High MTBF ratio (Mean Time Between Failures).

With the addition of a Pay On Exit terminal using credit card payment facilities and also the Card In/Card Out system, which allows users to get in and out of the car park without a ticket, just using their credit card, PKE demonstrates a strong future for CAME Parkare on the world parking stage.

A row of six, yellow parking payment machines in a range of sizes

To summarize, the PKE system is a comprehensive solution to parking control, offering significant improvements in productivity for a little additional cost, whilst also increasing end-user satisfaction due to operational reliability and a range of products to meet all requirements. To do this, our PKE car park control system is based on a network of automatic devices that regulate access, control payment, and record all activity in the car park.

PKM Line

Maintaining the evolutionary CAME Parkare style, the new PKM mid-range system continues to provide the excellent performance capabilities provided by its predecessor, Parkare’s Compact thermal paper roll system.

A row of three blue and grey parking machines and a parking barrier.

Though the PKM setup shares many common features with the PKE high-end system, it comes with a more cost-effective bottom line, making it an appealing option for strict budgets.

The technology deployed in PKM reduces the cost and complexity of the system by minimizing the number of moving parts required compared to other systems - also offering increased reliability. The simplicity of the system does not mean a compromise in functionality; PKM can be used in conjunction with Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), Voice over IP (VoIP) intercoms, security cameras & video, EMV chip & pin cards and/or NFC, contactless cards and many other technologies.

Automatic Number Plate Reading and Control SystemComputer screenshot showing spreadsheet with 4 CCV images beneath

The CAME Parkare automatic number plate reading and recognition (ANPR) system is the ideal complement for the car park, enhancing the function and use of the whole installation:

  • Enhanced control of vehicles entering and leaving the car park due to the automatic reading and recognition of their number plates.
  • Printing of the vehicle number plate on the entry ticket issued, in accordance with current legislation (Law 14/11 2002 B.O.E).
  • Increase in the car park security level, preventing vehicle theft and fraud payment (exchange of tickets or vehicles).
  • An increased flow of traffic in the car park entries and exits through dynamic access, i.e. automatic barrier opening on detecting a given number plate (configurable).

Vehicle Auditing System

This records images from different parts of the vehicle on its entry to the car park, permitting verification of its status. There is an option for incorporating a facial camera for security tasks.

Lince Web 7.0 Tablet and smartphone display CAME Parkare logo and login screen

Lince Web 7.0 is the new and revolutionary version of CAME Parkare’s parking management and control software. Thanks to its high flexibility and reliability, it is not only capable to meet the current needs of our customers, but also to anticipate future ones.

At the heart of the system, Lince web 7.0 integrates all parking products and services to offer users the best parking experience and our customers the highest profitability of their business.

Multi-Car Park Software

This system makes it possible to control different car parks managed by the same company, wherever they are in the world, as easily as one single car park. All that is needed is a TCP/IP network connection point.

Man holds a tablet which is displaying a bar graph. In the background is a laptop, phone and cup of coffee.

With the multi-car park software access, configurations, clients, and payment methods, account data and statistics can be managed, all consolidated for efficient management of your network.

Via TVia-T logo, blue backgroup and the word fits between white dotted lines.

The user gets into the car park without stopping the vehicle to collect the ticket. The system records in the OBE (through the antenna of the ViaT System) input data from the entrance (car park, terminal, virtual ticket number, number plate, date, time) to meet with the current legislation related to consumers, which requires to link the entry operation with a vehicle, through the plate number.

After shopping time, users can return to their vehicles without stopping at any Cashier or POS (Point of Sale) as usual, and get straight out of the car park. Discounts related to the done shopping are automatically applied thanks to the Via-T System. The payment gets done when users pass through the exit station and a beep confirms the operation, so the barrier gate opens automatically allowing the exit of the vehicle.

Optima Parking Guidance SystemLED displays suspended from ceiling show a blue wheelchair user icon, the number six and a green arrow

The Optima automatic vehicle guidance system for parking facilities permits real-time parking facility occupancy control, which uses the information obtained to register and indicate the location and shortest path to available spaces to users. Rapid detection and an indication of free spaces mean an immediate increase in parking facility vehicle turnover (and, therefore, profitability), as well as these additional benefits:

  • Increased fire safety in the parking facility, thanks to the system’s built-in temperature sensors.
  • Centralized, independent set-up for each sensor, including height, adapting to the specific form of each parking facility.
  • Optimization of electricity consumption in the car park, thanks to the automatic adjustment of the lighting depending on various configurable factors.
  • More efficient use and distribution, thanks to the sequential occupancy system by zones (fully configurable).
  • All these features are based on establishing a true communications network that integrates the volumetric presence sensors and/or ultrasound vehicle traffic sensors, indicator signs, vehicle barriers, and a computerized central unit.

New Features of Our LPR Guidance System
