Through the use of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology, motorists who park at Dubai Mall will have their vehicle licence plate numbers automatically captured and identified for parking fee processing.
The experience will also be a seamless one, as the majority of motorists in Dubai already have a Salik account, meaning parking fees will automatically be deducted from their prepaid account.
Furthermore, the barrier-free nature of the system will also aid in solving congestion issues, providing motorists a smooth entry and exit at the car park.
The centralised management and control of car park operations on the smart car park platform will also enable Salik to optimise manpower deployment, while an asset management module for preventive maintenance will prevent costly downtime.

He adds: “We look forward to extending this enhanced account-based payment solution to other customers in the Middle East.”
