System vision document
Problem description
The Collins car parking system is one of the most technologically advanced car parking
system in Australia. It has helps in saving the time and the cost of parking is also very low. On
the other hand, it has also reduced the number of the manual workers, as the entire system is
automatized (Bonde et al., 2014).The parking system is of three types, that three types of ticket
generation methods are present for the customers, tickets are printed on the basis of the time,
1stly the ordinary customers who park cars for some interval of time, the weekly basis parking,
the monthly customer and the yearly customers (Mahmud et al.,2013). The fixed interval
customers have own fixed parking plots, other that the ordinary customers. There are three types
of the customers, one who parks the car on regular basis that is the ordinary customers. The
others are the fixed customers who parks the car on a regular basis. Fixed customers are divide in
weekly, monthly and yearly subscriptions.The tickets are generated depending on the types of
the customers. The fixed customers have tickets printed with in their name or company name,
contact details like the name, mobile number, residence address and emergency details (Sumathi,
Varma & Sasank, 2013). They pay fixed amount of money beforehand to park the car. The fixed
customer has to park the car in the place designated for (Alfatihi, Chihab & Alj, 2013). The
ordinary customers pay every time they park their car, only the time and the amount are printed
on the tickets.
The parking fees gets calculated in the following manner:
For the Fixed customers:
1 week 50 dollars

3COLLINS CAR PARKING SYSTEM
2 weeks 95 AUD
1 month 150 AUD
3 months 350 AUD
6 months 575 AUD
12 months 800 AUD
For the ordinary customers:
During weekday’s midnight to 10 AM 2.5 AUD per hour
During weekdays 10 AM to midnight 5 AUD per hour
During weekend’s midnight to 10 AM 5 AUD per hour
During weekend’s 10 AM to midnight 10 AUD per hour
The Collins car parking systems accept both the card and the cash payments (Rao, 2017).
The cards that are accepted are the Master / VISA / DEBIT cards, and in case of the cash
payment only the correct amount needs to be dispensed in the denominations of 50c, 1$, 2$, 5$,
10$, 20$, 50$.In order to access the car parking system, the ordinary customers when comes in
front of the entry barrier, the sensor detects the car and issues a ticket, the print comes out of the
ticket dispensing control pillar and take ticket message is displayed in the overhead board (Soni,
Kaur & Kumar,2013). As soon as the customer takes the ticket, the barrier is lifted, and the
customer can enter the parking lot. If there is no space in the parking lot, FULL message is
displayed in the board when the sensor senses the car. In the case of the fixed customers, when

the customer comes in the front of the barrier , has to enter the ticket in the control pillar , it
checks for the validation of the card and after the ticket is read the customer needs to taker the
ticket back and as soon as the customer takes the ticket, the barrier is lifted and the customer can
enter the parking lot. In case of the fixed customers , the customer needs to go to the exit gate
and insert the ticket again to the exit control pillar , the ticket is read again and required
deduction of the amount is done and the ticket comes out of the slot , after the customers takes
back the ticket, the barrier is opened and the customer is ready to leave. In case of the ordinary
customers, initially the customers need to go to the payment booth first, in the payment booth the
ticket which was initiated in the entry gate is read and the customer is asked for the required
amount (Aalsalem, Khan & Dhabbah, 2015). After the required amount is paid, the ticket return
to the customer and the customer needs to go to the exit gate and again insert the ticket in the exit
control barrier pillar slot, after the ticket is read and the payment is verified the gate opened for
going out. Records of the entire transaction is taken.
System capabilities
 Generate ticket automatically using the sensors to detect a car.
 When entry ticket it generated, open the entry barrier automatically.
 Collect payment according to the entry ticket
 Open the exit barrier after the payment is done.
 Sense the parking lot if full.
 Detect the tickets in case of the fixed customers.
Business Benefits
 Reduces the cost of the manual employees
 Automation helps in the better time management

 Helps in better cost management
Resources Required:
In order to of smooth going on of the parking system, there are lot of required resources.
Although all the systems are automated, someone needs to supervise the entire program. The
hardware requirement of the system are the control pillars in both the entry and the exit gates.
The control pillar consists of the ticket printing and reading systems, the electronic message
boards, the barriers and the sensors to sense the cars presence (Barone et al., 2013). Timers are
also a key component of the entire system. Other than this the pay both contains the card readers
and the cash readers. The entire system is controlled by the master software (developed by the
COLLINS). The system also requires a regular security checks which are done by the security
inspectors in a fixed interval of time. Cameras and other security equipment’s are also a part of
the systems.

Stakeholder map:
The risks in the systems:
Although the entire systems are fully secured, and all possible security measurements are
taken in order to reduce any chaos on the parking lot. Some of the risk that may occur are, due
too systems failure ticket is issued but there is parking space in the parking lot. One of the other
major issue is forceful breaking of the exit barrier is one of the major risk in the system. Thefts
inside the parking complex is also a major risk and steps are there to reduce such acts (Geng &
Cassandras, 2013). Also, there are manual patrolling done by the security offices to reduce such

7COLLINS CAR PARKING SYSTEM
acts Other of the few minor risks are the failure of the payment systems and other technical
faults. In order to eradicate this type of technical faults regular checks of the systems are done by
the organisation (Wreiner et al.,2012). Other than this there are security cameras which tracks
every corner of the parking lots to reduce any offence.
