Parking Control Systems & Parking Gate Systems
Q: What is a parking control system?
A: A parking control system is an integrated set of equipment and software that manages vehicle access and revenue collection for parking lots and garages. Core components include barrier gates, ticket machines or credential readers, payment stations, and management software. Systems range from simple flat-rate configurations to full-featured setups with multiple rate structures, validations, and access control.
Q: How much does a parking control system cost?
A: Parking control system costs vary based on configuration. Simple flat-rate or access control systems start in the low four figures. Full-featured gated systems with ticket machines, multiple payment stations, barrier gates, and management software typically range into five figures.

Q: What is the difference between gated and metered parking systems?
A: Gated parking systems use barrier gates at entry and exit points to control vehicle access. Vehicles receive a ticket or use a credential to enter, and the gate opens after payment or authorization. Metered parking systems use multi-space meters placed throughout the lot — drivers pay at the meter after parking. Gated systems offer tighter revenue control and access management. Metered systems are simpler and less expensive to install but require more enforcement.
Q: Can parking control systems integrate with hotel property management software?
A: Yes. Parking BOXX systems integrate with hotel readers from PMS platforms including Oracle Opera and Maestro PMS. The Guest BOXX creates parking credentials from existing hotel room key cards, allowing hotels to manage guest, visitor, and valet parking through their existing systems.
Q: What payment methods do parking control systems accept?
A: Parking BOXX payment machines accept credit cards (EMV chip and tap/NFC), bills, and coins. Our full-featured Pay BOXX "Big Blue" also provides change in bills and coins. All payment processing is PCI compliant and supports Interac for Canadian installations.
Parking BOXX has completed thousands of parking lot customization and integration projects in order to provide our clients with the parking equipment they need. If you are looking for something that you don’t see here, please contact us.
