ST Engineering’s Urban Solutions secures smart car park contract at Dubai Mall

The project aims to facilitate automatic and ticketless parking fee collection.

ST Engineering's Urban Solutions business has secured a contract to extend its TransCore tolling technology to implement a smart car park system at Dubai Mall. 

The project will integrate Urban Solutions' smart car park system with the existing Salik traffic toll system to enable automatic and ticketless parking fee collection at the mall, which has over 13,000 parking lots.

The system uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology to automatically capture and recognize license plate numbers, facilitating seamless processing of parking fees. The incurred parking charges will be deducted directly from the prepaid Salik accounts of the vehicle owners.

The enhanced solution is expected to optimize manpower deployment and bring operational and maintenance cost savings to car park operations.

“This project demonstrates our Urban Solutions team's synergistic capabilities by combining TransCore’s expertise in the Salik traffic toll system with the barrier-free smart car park technology developed by Urban Solutions in Singapore,” said Chew Men Leong, president of Urban Solutions at ST Engineering.

The company designed, built, and currently maintains Salik’s Open Road Tolling system and back office system. 

“We look forward to extending this enhanced account-based payment solution to other customers in the Middle East,” Leong said.
