Advanta - The Next Generation of Parking Meters - Advanta was born out of a careful analysis of parking meters today - their current uses, both traditional and otherwise (e.g. post to lock a bike to), their design shortcomings, and potential future functionality. Furthermore, Advanta was designed to aesthetically enhance our cities' streets and provide a more user-friendly (and technologically superior) experience.
Close-up of Touch Screen User Interface - As seen in the image above, users have multiple payment options, those being a parking card, credit card, or coin. The screen itself is a touchscreen and there is an infrared sensor installed in the neck of the meter which determines whether or not the parking space is being used.
Exploded View and Bill of Materials - This computer model and exploded view were created in ThinkDesign 5.0.
