How does this system work?
In the exit lane, a similar process occurs. At the point of exit, the TPS technology determines if any required fee has been paid before opening the boom arm thus allowing the vehicle to leave the carpark, again without having to stop.
If a fee is to be paid, the boom arm stays down until it is paid. The screen on the Exit Pay station displays the length of stay, the parking fee and instructions on how to pay. When the payment is successful, the Customer can exercise the option of receiving a paper receipt by pressing a button. This will trigger the receipt printing.
If the driver pays at a pay station before going to their vehicle, the TPS system recognises that there is no fee owing and the vehicle can leave the carpark without being stopped by the boom arm.

Is keeping a record of my number plate an invasion of privacy?
Licence plate numbers are not considered personal information under NSW privacy law.
