PARKING BOXX AWARDS INAUGURAL PARKING SOLUTIONS SCHOLARSHIP FOR TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION IN PARKING SOLUTIONS

 

 

International Competition Drew Nominations From Across The Globe

 

 

Sarnia, ON (January 31, 2018)—Parking BOXX, the North American-based parking systems manufacturer and software developer, announced today the recipient of the first Parking Solutions Scholarship for Technical Innovation in Parking Solutions. The award was won by Patience Lo, a design student at the University of New South Wales, who proposed an app that addresses misuse, forgery, and theft of credentials for disabled parkers to ensure that designated HP parking spaces remain available for those who need them. As part of the award, Ms. Lo will receive a $1,000 scholarship from Parking BOXX.

 

 

The Parking Solutions Scholarship was introduced by Parking BOXX in 2017 to encourage students to apply technical solutions to common parking problems. Entrants submitted a 500 word essay on the subject of technology innovation in parking solutions and how parking can be made more user-friendly, efficient, or otherwise enhanced. The essays were judged by a panel of parking professionals on their originality, creativity, and persuasiveness.

“We received many creative and interesting submissions from across the globe, including as far away as Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia,” said Renee Smith, Parking BOXX’s CTO. “The entries were excellent, but one stood out among this impressive field. We are proud to award the inaugural Parking Solutions Scholarship to Patience Lo.”

The award program was designed to encourage students to offer their perspectives on how technological innovation can improve upon the parking solutions available today. Technology plays a predominant role in parking innovation, and searching out technological advancements to enhance parking solutions is a core value of Parking BOXX.

The most popular theme among the entries was the use of an app to help improve parking solutions. Many applicants envisioned parking apps that would help locate available parking spots, improve payment methods, and help improve the overall parking experience. Other notable proposals included stackable parking, conveyor belt parking, the complete redesign of parking lots, and the use of robots and robotics as part of their parking solutions. The Parking BOXX panel carefully reviewed hundreds of entries and after narrowing the field to the top 5, the Parking BOXX team chose the submission that provided the most original, inventive, and practical parking solution.

“I think that availability of accessible parking is an issue that’s happening everywhere, no matter where you are, and it’s an issue that hasn’t nearly been tackled enough,” said Patience Lo. “In fact too often local approaches and policies just end up making people with disabilities pay for the sins of able-bodied abusers.”

Parking BOXX would like to thank all the applicants for their original and creative submissions. We were pleased by the overwhelming global response and the Parking Solutions Scholarship will be returning in 2018!

Parking BOXX Launches First EMV Unattended Parking System In United States

Parking BOXX Launches First EMV Unattended Parking System In United States

 

Little Rock Becomes First City To Incorporate New EMV Technology For Municipal Parking

 

 

When the City of Little Rock, Arkansas decided to implement their first Parking BOXX system in 2014, they may not have anticipated becoming the parking industry’s EMV pioneers. But that’s exactly what happened when Little Rock installed the first EMV-enabled chip & PIN unattended parking system in the United States. With the March 2016 installation of Parking BOXX’s technology for two additional parking garages, the City now provides Little Rock drivers the most technologically advanced and secure parking payment option in the United States.

 

“Nearly two years ago, we issued an RFP looking for the best overall system value, and Parking BOXX has exceeded our expectations,” said James “Doc” Doolittle, Senior Director of Facility Maintenance & Engineering. “Parking BOXX has been an excellent choice for the multiple facilities in Little Rock. Year over year revenue increases from inception, as well as much improved equipment performance and enhanced reporting capabilities, made expansion with Parking BOXX an easy decision for both the Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau and the City of Little Rock.”

The City of Little Rock selected Parking BOXX through an RFP process to provide Parking Access & Revenue Control Systems. There are now three City garages with Parking BOXX systems in operation, with 12 lanes of parking equipment that accommodate over 1800 parking spaces. The parking equipment includes In-Lane Automated Payment Machines, Cashier Stations, Card Access, and numerous validations and coupons. These garages also provide parking for guests from several nearby hotels.

“EMV is here to stay so we’re embracing it sooner rather than later. Parking BOXX has done an amazing job supporting us, and we are thrilled to be partnering with them to bring this new technology to all of our garages,” said Norman Hale, Parking Manager with the City of Little Rock.

“The City of Little Rock is a valued partner. We are pleased to be working with this forward-looking group of parking professionals on such an important product launch,” said Renee Smith, President & CTO of Parking BOXX. “Our business strategy focuses on delivering new technology that provides value to customers. Kudos to our amazing team for being the first to certify and launch unattended EMV in parking.”

Parking BOXX’s EMV system utilizes Moneris Solutions technology to collect payments and keep them secure. Moneris Solutions has more than 10 years of experience working with EMV and is one of North America’s largest providers of payment processing solutions.

“As a leader in EMV-enabled payment solutions, we are pleased Parking BOXX has chosen to work with Moneris as part of their unattended parking systems,” said Pat Woods, VP Strategic Partner Sales, Moneris Solutions. “EMV technology is proven to reduce incidences of cardholder fraud, and with a high proportion of unattended kiosks, the parking industry stands to benefit immensely from the new security standard.”
