Entry / Exit Lane Terminal

The EN / EX 550 Lane Terminal is a robust entry and exit terminal designed to manage vehicle access in paid and controlled carparks. Installed at boom gates, it handles key interactions such as ticket issuance, credential validation, and vehicle identification to ensure only authorised or paid vehicles are permitted entry or exit. Built for high-traffic environments, the terminal features a durable housing, intuitive user interface, and support for multiple access technologies, enabling smooth vehicle throughput while maintaining reliable control and revenue enforcement. Its modular design allows it to adapt to a wide range of site requirements and operating scenarios.

Pay on Foot Paystation

The CB550 Credit Card Paystation provides a fast, secure way for drivers to pay for parking on foot, before exiting the carpark. Designed for reliability and ease of use, it supports cashless payments through major credit and debit cards, helping reduce queues and minimise maintenance associated with cash handling. With a clear user interface and robust construction, the CB550 is well suited to high-use environments where speed and uptime are critical. For sites that require it, a cash-accepting paystation option is also available, offering flexibility to suit different customer and operational needs.

LPR Cameras

Our licence plate recognition cameras provide accurate, real-time vehicle identification at carpark entry and exit points. Designed for parking environments, they reliably capture number plates in varying lighting and weather conditions, supporting seamless access control and payment enforcement. When integrated with the Nova system, these cameras enable ticketless parking workflows, improve throughput at lanes, and reduce reliance on physical credentials—delivering a faster, more convenient experience for drivers while maintaining full operational control.

Aero Boom Gates

Our Aero boom gates provide reliable, fast, and secure physical control of vehicle access at carpark entry and exit points. Engineered for frequent use in commercial and public parking environments, they deliver smooth, responsive operation to support high vehicle throughput while maintaining safety. Integrated directly with the Nova system, Aero boom gates respond instantly to validated tickets, payments, or authorised vehicle recognition, ensuring controlled access without delays or unnecessary congestion.

MultiPark Platform

The MultiPark platform is the central software that powers and manages the entire Nova system. It coordinates all connected hardware—lane terminals, paystations, boom gates, and recognition technologies—ensuring every entry, payment, and exit is accurately controlled and recorded. Through a single, intuitive interface, operators can configure tariffs, manage access rules, monitor system status, and generate operational and financial reports. Built for reliability and scalability, MultiPark provides the intelligence behind Nova, enabling efficient day-to-day operations across single sites or large, multi-carpark networks.

Nova System

Benefits

Deters Unauthorised Parking

Prevents commuters and non-permitted vehicles from using private or time-restricted parking, ensuring spaces aren’t taken by drivers who shouldn’t be there.

Creates a Sustainable Revenue Stream

Transforms parking from a cost centre into a revenue-generating asset, delivering measurable return on investment through controlled, paid access.

Reduces Congestion On-Site

By limiting access to authorised or paying users only, vehicle circulation is reduced—resulting in smoother traffic flow and fewer bottlenecks.

Ensures Parking Availability for the Right Users

Frees up bays for customers, visitors, staff, or patients by removing long-stay and inappropriate parking behaviour. Improves Safety & Site Efficiency Fewer unnecessary vehicles means safer pedestrian environments and more predictable traffic movement throughout the site.

Protects the Value of the Asset

A controlled, professionally managed carpark enhances the overall value and usability of the site it serves.

More Information

How It Works

Nova is designed to support a wide range of paid parking and access control scenarios by grouping users and applying different rules to each group. Operators can define multiple parking tariffs, such as a free parking period followed by hourly charges, flat rates, daily or monthly parking, or time-independent pricing where the length of stay is not a factor. This flexibility allows the system to support visitors, staff, tenants, and permit holders within the same carpark.

When a vehicle enters the site, a vehicle identifier is recorded and a parking session is created. This identifier may be a licence plate, a ticket, a credit or debit card, or an access credential such as a swipe card. The system records the time of entry and links all activity to that identifier while the vehicle is parked.

As the driver interacts with the carpark—such as paying at a pay-on-foot station, validating parking, or updating their session—the system updates the same parking record in real time. Payment can be completed before returning to the vehicle or at the exit lane when the same identifier is presented again. At exit, Nova verifies that the parking conditions have been met before allowing the vehicle to leave.

Throughout this process, the Nova software platform manages all connected hardware, controls boom gates, updates parking records, and logs every transaction. This ensures accurate enforcement, reliable revenue capture, and full visibility for operators across the entire parking operation.

Why Choose Us

Frequently Asked Questions
Are carpark management systems only used to collect parking revenue?

No. While generating revenue is one benefit, these systems are primarily used to control who can access a carpark, deter unauthorised or long-stay parking, and ensure spaces are available for the right users.

Why do many carparks offer a free parking period?

Free parking periods encourage short-stay visits, such as shopping or appointments, while discouraging all-day parking and improving bay turnover for customers and visitors.

Can different user groups have different parking rules?

Yes. The system allows operators to apply different tariffs and access rules for visitors, staff, tenants, permit holders, and other user groups within the same carpark.

What happens if the network connection goes offline?

The system continues to operate normally, storing transactions locally and synchronising data once the connection is restored, ensuring no access events or revenue are lost.

Can the system operate without tickets?

Yes. Carparks can operate fully ticketless using vehicle identification or credentials, or run in a hybrid mode that supports both ticketed and digital access.

Is the system suitable for both small and large carparks?

Absolutely. The platform is scalable and can be deployed in small single-site carparks or expanded to support large, multi-site parking operations.
