Dubai\u2019s Roads and Transport Authority has recently launched a new set of smart meters that will radically alter the way motorists pay to park their cars. The new meters issue non-physical \u2018e-tickets\u2019, which don\u2019t need to be displayed on a car\u2019s dashboard. Drivers simply key in their vehicle\u2019s registration using a meter\u2019s touchscreen interface, then make a payment. The meter issues an e-ticket that is recorded on its smart system and allows the driver to remain parked until the ticket expires. Because a record of the vehicle\u2019s parking authorisation is maintained digitally, drivers who use the system won\u2019t have to worry about being fined for not displaying a physical ticket.<\/p>\n

\"Dubai<\/a>The new smart meters are designed to work in conjunction with the RTA\u2019s recently introduced smart parking scanners. These car-mounted devices automatically scan vehicles in Dubai\u2019s paid parking zones and detect those that don\u2019t have valid tickets or e-tickets. Smart meter-issued e-tickets and parking scanners are more accurate and precise than traditional tickets and ticket-checking techniques. As a result, the combination of smart meters and smart parking scanners should help reduce human error and ensure that nobody is fined unfairly.<\/p>\n

Motorists should find the new smart meters make parking much easier. What\u2019s more, they can rest assured that the parking scanners won\u2019t fine them unless they\u2019re genuinely late returning to their cars.<\/p>\n

However, the system isn\u2019t perfect. E-tickets expire the minute the pre-paid time on them runs out and parking scanners will pick up on vehicles whose tickets have only just expired, even if the driver is hurrying back to their vehicle. Traditional paper tickets and human parking ticket inspectors left drivers with some room for error. If a driver returned to their vehicle a few minutes late for a good reason, their paper ticket would still be displayed and a parking inspector could choose to give them the benefit of the doubt and not fine them. This simply isn\u2019t the case with automated smart-systems.<\/p>\n

However you feel about smart meters and smart parking scanners, you\u2019ll probably want a snazzy, up-to-date vehicle before you park anywhere in the aspirational city of Dubai. Here at Simply Car Buyers, we can help. We buy any car from any client, so you can sell us your old vehicle to raise the money for a new one.<\/p><\/div>\n
