    Parking
    Meters
      
    The
    Centre for Excellence’s Meter*Manager*2000 module is a
    comprehensive tool to manage any types of parking meter, either electronic
    or mechanical operation, or a combination of types.  Meter*Manager*2000
    supplements the cash counting operations by providing an audit trail
    over time for each meter providing information regarding site usage,
    maintenance, comparison to adjacent groups and setting of pricing policies.
      
    There have been notable fraud cases with
    parking meters, for instance at Brisbane City Council and there has been
    lack of scrutiny, for instance at Sydney City Council where a meter did not
    operate for eighteen months and management was unaware of the
    problem.  
      
    Meter*Manager*2000  was
    initially developed by North Sydney Council for the management of their 500
    meters and by agreement to be further developed, enhanced and maintained by
    The Centre for Excellence.
      
    The data from cash collections is
    transferred electronically to Meter*Manager*2000 and the daily
    audit automatically printed for the Council's Manager.  Meter*Manager*2000
    provides details between dates of weekly and annual income for
    individual or all meters, lost cash boxes and meters, cash box discrepancies
    and errors, meter collection days, programme groups and items are identified
    and with hard-copy reporting.
    
    Design Philosophy
    
      
    Easy-to-use screens with
    logical field sequences, validation and a fully Windows GUI environment
    facilitate the capturing and management of application developments.  A
    comprehensive reporting system and ad-hoc query abilities allows user to
    access information stored in the system, quickly and easily.
