The current application relates to parking meters and in particular to lightweight and vandal resistant parking meters.
Traditional single space parking meters comprise a number of components. The metering functionality is typically provided by a meter mechanism that is received within a protective lower housing that is permanently fixed in location. A parking meter housing may be secured to the lower housing to retain the meter mechanism within the protective housing. These protective housing components are traditionally made either of a lighter weight cast metal such as Zamak which is an alloy made of zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper, or of a much heavier cast ductile iron. Impact resistant plastic has previously been used as a housing material; however, this was typically limited to, for example, a polycarbonate resin. A specific example would be clear plastic windows made of a polycarbonate resin that covers and protects a parking meter display. A well-known clear polycarbonate brand in this regard is Lexan™. However, a Lexan window of a parking meter would not have been the material substantially or significantly forming the protective housing of a parking meter. As noted above, housing components have traditionally been made of metal.
In the past, as parking costs and, correspondingly, primarily coins being deposited at parking meters have increased, vandalism and other attacks on parking meters have increased, and the use of metal housings has become standard for unattended (e.g., on street) locations in order to withstand and deter vandalism, including repeated attacks. In this regard, because of security concerns, plastic has historically been seen to be inferior to metal for the purpose of a protective housing of a parking meter. Further, plastic has been seen to be prone to undesirable UV degradation.
As a result, at present, those skilled in the art generally prefer metallic parking meter housings given such housings are widely accepted and in use based on a strong track record for security and vandal-resistance, given use of plastics in parking meters has been overwhelmingly limited to internal molded plastic components and limited external components such as clear plastics for windows that cover a user display or solar panel, or plastics used to protect radiating antennas, and/or given the disadvantages of traditional polycarbonate or other traditional plastic material that would or may be felt if such material were used in or for a parking meter housing.
More recently, the use of cash as a form of payment for parking meters has been augmented by a number of alternative forms or methods of non-cash payment, which may include stored value smart cards, pay-by-cell mobile phone applications, loyalty cards, contactless credit cards, NFC-enabled mobile phones, magnetic stripe-based debit or credit cards, and EMV chip credit cards. With non-cash payment alternatives becoming increasingly popular, fewer and fewer users are carrying cash on their person or in their vehicles. It is not uncommon for the total revenue amounts and number of transactions based on these alternative non-cash payment methods to quickly surpass cash deposit amounts and cash transaction counts when such alternatives to cash payments are available.
Although traditional metal parking meter housings provide adequate protection for parking meters, it would be beneficial to have additional or alternative options for parking meter housings capable of withstanding or resisting vandalism attacks.

Plastic components have been used with success in single space parking meters for many years. These include some components attached to the housings and exposed to the external elements. Specific component examples include clear plastics such as Lexan for the domes or windows that cover a user display, LED indicators, RF antennas, or a solar panel. Additionally, internally to the parking meter, components made of molded plastic are generally widely accepted and used. Specific component examples may include coin guides, and coin reader covers and chute. However, until now the exterior housings that protect the meter mechanisms have traditionally been made of cast metal alloy or cast ductile iron. The heavy duty appearance of these cast metal housings discouraged vandalism attacks and were sufficiently strong to withstand repeated vandalism attempts. As described further below, the heavy and expensive to manufacture metal housings can be replaced with a lightweight and vandal resistant housing made primarily of a polycarbonate copolymer material such as a polycarbonate copolymer resin that has lower corresponding materials and manufacturing costs. In this regard, a majority, a substantial majority or virtually all of the external parking meter housing may be made of a polycarbonate copolymer material.
A lightweight housing, including preferably a plastic housing such as a polycarbonate copolymer resin housing, wherein the housing is formed substantially, or at least significantly, of the polycarbonate copolymer, may be easier and cheaper to transport and install, and may require less packaging, as compared to heavier metal housings. A housing formed at least “significantly” of the polycarbonate copolymer is one where at least one third of the housing is formed of the polycarbonate copolymer. A housing formed “substantially” of the polycarbonate copolymer is one where at least three quarters of the housing is formed of the polycarbonate copolymer. In addition, the housing may comprise a plurality of housing components secured together. Individually, each of the housing components may be formed substantially of the polycarbonate copolymer. Alternatively, a subset of the housing components may be formed substantially of the polycarbonate copolymer while the remainder of the housing components are not formed substantially of the polycarbonate copolymer, but the housing components taken together collectively provide for a complete housing that is formed significantly of the polycarbonate copolymer.
A plastic housing, including a polycarbonate copolymer resin housing, may also be cheaper to manufacture than a metal housing, and, due to the lighter weight, cheaper to transport and easier for service staff to handle. Additionally, metal housings may be more inconvenient and/or costly than plastic housings, including a polycarbonate copolymer resin housing, in relation to maintenance. In particular, metal housings may require regular or periodic paint in order to avoid rust buildup or corrosion of housings. Sometimes, due to rust or corrosion, a metal housing may need to be replaced. Furthermore, rusted or corroded metal housings may be unsightly for the general public, thus reducing public confidence, and may detract from the visibility of newer or retrofit features otherwise included in the parking meter. In contrast, plastic housings, including a polycarbonate copolymer resin housing, are corrosion-resistant.
In addition to the maintenance issues discussed above, metal housings, such as traditional sand cast steel housings, can produce imprecise joints and/or surfaces, which typically require secondary machining operations to allow any mating parts to fit properly. While Zamak alloy castings have a relatively more precise fit as compared to sand cast housings, both Zamak alloy castings and sand cast housings still require treatment and painting before being exposed to the outside environment. Secondary operations may also be required to remove metal ‘flash’ or burrs that might form at joints where mold sections are connected during the molding operation. In contrast, molded plastic-based materials typically provide for even more precise tolerances and dimensional stability that are better than those of traditional cast metal parts. This ultimately may produce smaller gaps at joints, and a better and more secure fit. Further, plastic-based materials, including polycarbonate copolymer resins, may not require the above-described secondary operations, such as painting or blasting. In this regard, plastics can be produced in different colours and may not require the painting typically required for metal parts.
Metal components may break or deform under sudden and focused impact. In contrast, polycarbonate copolymer resin-based plastics may temporarily bend or deform under impact and subsequently may return to their original shape in a manner that is similar to how a plastic car panel or bumper may do after an impact. Even at extreme cold temperatures, a polycarbonate copolymer resin will resist shattering or breaking. Unlike traditional (non-copolymer) polycarbonate, which may require considerable cross-ribbing or bracing material in order to achieve acceptable impact testing results or standards, a polycarbonate copolymer resin may not require as much reinforcing material, or any reinforcing material at all, in order to achieve desired results or standards (depending on the results or standards). Given its favorable strength and impact characteristics, and the decreasing prevalence of actual cash stored in parking meters (due to the increased use of non-cash payment means such as credit cards), a plastic housing such as a polycarbonate copolymer resin-based housing is a suitable alternative material to more traditional metals.
Production of more complex shapes may more easily be done with plastic than metal due to injection molds, which allow for under-cuts, threads, ports and tight tolerances. This allows for a net shape or near net shape to be produced relative to the finish level specifications, which reduces the need for any surface finishing (i.e., a part may be produced near finish or fully finished without extra production steps, thus potentially saving costs).
Plastic housings and parts, including polycarbonate copolymer resins, may be advantageous in comparison to metal housings and parts for additional reasons, such as with respect to the following: by using lower temperatures, plastic materials may be highly repeatable in processing, which may ultimately result in less scrap materials or waste; and the life of a plastics production tool may be as much as six times longer than the life of an equivalent tool used to produce a metal part, and may require less repair.
Although the following description refers to single space parking meters, it is possible for the parking meters to provide metering functionality for two or more spaces. It will be appreciated that a single space parking meter refers to a style of parking meters that historically metered only a single parking space. Single space parking meters are typically located along a street and affixed to posts adjacent to the parking spaces being metered. As an example of metering multiple parking spots, a single space parking meter located on a post in between two parking spots may be configured to provide metering of the parking space located to the left of the parking meter as well as the parking space located to the right of the parking meter. Single space parking meters are typically differentiated from multi-space meters, such as pay-and-display meters, pay-by-space meters and pay-by-plate meters, by their size. Multi space meters, which are typically provided in larger cabinets, are typically located one or a few per block, or per parking area such as a parking lot. The larger cabinets of multi space meters may allow for additional peripheral equipment such as thermal type receipt or ticket printers, paper currency readers, full alpha-numeric keypads, higher capacity cash cans, and correspondingly larger batteries and solar panels. In contrast, multiple single space meters, even when metering multiple parking spots, are typically located along a block face, or within a parking area such as a small parking lot. The single space meters are typically much smaller in size than multi-space meters.
With respect to the WiFi radio, it may use a private communication channel, or any public or otherwise available hotspot for carrying out communications. For example, an owner or operator of one or more parking meters may engage or contract with an Internet service provider (ISP) to provide for Internet access over WiFi for the parking meter(s). In one example, the arrangement with the ISP may involve the use of additional or secondary channels, such as secondary ISDN channels that may be referred to as “service flow” channels, associated with one or more WiFi routers located within wireless communication range of the parking meter(s). Typically, the WiFi routers in this example are located at an ISP's customer premises, and are such that they have the ability to concurrently route or support one or two additional or secondary non-overlapping and non-interfering ISDN service flow channel(s). The service flow channel(s) is in addition to the primary ISDN channel used by the customer, and all channels use the same wire or other physical connection to the ISP's network equipment located outside the customer premises. The result is that the router acts as a secured WiFi hotspot for one or both of the two additional channels, and, in parallel, routes any associated data or traffic separately and independently from the data and traffic of the primary ISP customer. Use of one or more of the additional service flow channels by a parking meter system operator establishes a connection between a parking meter and the Internet so that regular two-way flow of data between the meter and a backend meter management system is possible.
The foregoing describes one example of how a WiFi radio and communication system may be used; other approaches would be understood to be possible. Use of WiFi as described or otherwise for parking meter communications may be advantageous, as purchasing or inclusion of additional hardware by parking meter vendors, installers or operators may be unnecessary. This is in contrast to cellular communications and other alternative ISM band solutions such as ZigBee where additional hardware may be required. In this regard, and by way of example, a transceiver or repeater with antenna may need to be located relatively close to a parking meter, and may need to be mounted to a pole, building or other structure, which may further complicate installation and/or implementation of a parking meter system. In addition, use of WiFi as described or otherwise may be advantageous in that regulatory requirements (e.g., FCC requirements) may be less restrictive or onerous, the WiFi radios may be less expensive than other radios, and the data transmission costs associated with cellular communications may be reduced or eliminated as a result of a greater amount of data being transmitted over WiFi as opposed to cellular. Further, with respect to the example approach described above, reliability of transmissions may be improved because of the use of a managed, secured and/or restricted Internet access point (as compared to a public WiFi hotspot, which may be less reliable and/or provide poor performance due to heavy use or data loading).
Since the housing is made from a polycarbonate copolymer resin that can have low RF attenuation, the placement of the RF antennas are not as particularly restricted as is the case for more traditional metal housings. The removable parking meter mechanism 204 includes a front housing 212. The front housing 212 is made of a polycarbonate copolymer resin, and includes one or more cutouts or openings through which interface buttons 208 extend, protrude or are exposed, and through which the display is visible. The display, when visible through a cutout in the polycarbonate copolymer resin housing, may be covered by a clear polycarbonate material such as Lexan. In the alternative, rather than a physical opening or cutout in the polycarbonate copolymer resin, the display opening may be provided by a transparent portion in the housing that may be formed from the transparent polycarbonate copolymer resin of the housing 212.
Physical openings in the polycarbonate copolymer front housing 212 may present a weak point in the housing 212 and as such the housing 212 may include reinforcing members to provide it with additional strength. For example, a reinforcing member may comprise a metal frame or structure surrounding the opening and be located on an interior of the front housing 212. The reinforcing member surrounding the display opening may provide additional strength to prevent a vandal from prying at the opening, or otherwise attacking the integrity of the housing through the opening. As depicted, when the removable parking meter mechanism is received within the lower housing, a rear housing 214 may be slid over the removable parking meter mechanism 204 and secured to the lower housing. When secured in place, the front housing 212 and rear cover 214 provide a continuous housing providing protection against the environment and vandal attacks. In addition to providing reinforcing members at, or around, openings, metal reinforcing members may also be provided for structurally weaker areas of the housing such as at sharp corners. In addition or in the alternative to metal reinforcing members, the polycarbonate copolymer component may include, as part of its design and molded shape, wedges, trusses, ribbing, cross bracing, stringers, and the like that are more precisely and strategically shaped and placed, and are designed into the injection molded component for reinforcement. This may further enhance the structural strength and integrity of the component without adding substantially more or additional plastic material. As a result, the polycarbonate copolymer resin-based component that is produced may provide further improved strength based on the combination of above-described mechanical design features together with the inherent strength and ductility characteristics of the polycarbonate copolymer resin materials.
The rear cover 214 may be made from the same polycarbonate copolymer resin used to make the front cover 212. As described above, the polycarbonate copolymer housing may include at openings reinforcing components to provide extra strength. As depicted, the rear cover 214 includes an opening with reinforcing member 216 surrounding the opening. Further, reinforcing members or components may be included to provide extra strength to connection points. For example, the rear cover 214 may include four contact points 218a-218d used to secure the rear cover 214 to the lower housing 202. In order to provide additional strength, the contact points 218a-218d may be reinforced with metal. The reinforcing members may be formed within, or secured to, the polycarbonate copolymer, for example by an over-molding process in which the polycarbonate copolymer resin is formed over the metal reinforcing contact points. Alternatively, the reinforcing members may be secured to the polycarbonate copolymer housing in various ways such as by a mechanical fastener, such as screws, through formed structures that co-operate with the reinforcing member, through a friction fit, interference fit or snap-in fit and/or through the use of adhesives.
As described above, the single space parking meter 200 comprises a housing made from a polycarbonate copolymer resin that may be reinforced at one or more points with metal strengthening components. As depicted, the housing may be made from two or more housing components that connect together to provide a single housing that encloses the parking meter components and protects them from the environment and from vandal attacks. As depicted, the housing may secure the removable parking meter mechanism to the lower housing 202. As depicted in further embodiments below, it is possible for removable parking meter mechanisms to be directly secured to the coin vault rather than to a lower housing.
The parking meter assembly 302 comprises a front covering 308 formed from a polycarbonate copolymer resin. The parking meter assembly 302 further includes a number of parking meter components for providing a functioning parking meter. Particular components included in a parking meter may vary depending upon the manufacturer, or the specific requirements of a city, municipality or other potential purchaser of parking meters.
The parking meter assembly 302 may be secured to a rear housing assembly 324 that in turn is secured to the coin vault housing 304. As depicted, the rear housing assembly 324 comprises a rear cover 326 that is affixed to a lower plate 328. The lower plate 328 may be permanently, or semi-permanently, attached to the coin vault housing. The rear cover 326 may be secured to the lower plate through one or more connecting bolts or rods 330 within corresponding retaining structures or vertical channels in the rear cover 326 that may be screwed into the lower plate 328. The bolts or rods 330 are of a hardened material such as metal, and may be threaded. The rear cover 326 may be formed from the polycarbonate copolymer resin used in forming the front cover 308.
In addition to securing the rear cover 326 to the lower plate 328, the connecting rods 330 may act as reinforcing members that provide additional strength and protection against vandalism. For example, the rods 330, which may be made of metal, may extend vertically along a substantial portion of the interior perimeter or surface area of the rear cover 326. The metal rods 330 may provide additional protection from vandal attacks. In this regard, the rods may act as reinforcements and may be used to augment the high strength housing. As a result, the rods may act as a deterrent to vandal attack using hack saws, or other cutting tools. Similar reinforcements may be applied to injection molded covers or housings in strategic areas, such as connection points, surrounding openings, or in likely points of attack by vandals. The reinforcing metal components may be inserted into formed channels, pockets, or similar structures for receiving the reinforcing components. Additionally or alternatively, the reinforcing metal components may be incorporated into the injection molded covers using an over molding technique.
The rear cover may further include one or more openings 406 for elements such as LEDs or other visual devices for quickly communicating a status of the parking meter to parking officials. Further, the rear cover 326 may include an opening 408 for a locking component. As with the front cover 308, the openings 406, 408 of the rear cover may also be surrounded by a reinforcing metal component to harden or strengthen the opening in the rear housing for protection against attacks.
The front cover 308 and rear cover 326, which are shown in
The rear cover 326 and the front cover 308 of the parking meter 300 may provide a generally cylindrical appearance or shape. Although the appearance of the parking meter 300 may be a design aesthetic that may be varied based on different design factors, a cylindrical appearance may provide a more attractive parking meter assembly than a non-cylindrical assembly. In addition to providing a visually more attractive appearance, the cylindrical shape may improve the strength of the parking meter for withstanding physical attacks since the cylindrical nature of the housing eliminates, or at least reduces, the number of corners in the housing, which corners may provide weaker points. The front cover 308 may have a recessed flat portion that provides a location 310 for user interaction. The user interaction location 310 may comprise an information area or display 312 for presenting information to a user, as well as input controls 314 for interacting with and controlling the parking meter assembly 302.
The recessed flat portion may also include a payment area 316 for providing a plurality of different payment mechanisms. The plurality of different payment mechanisms may be arranged, one next to the other, horizontally. For example, a coin chute, including an opening 318 for inserting coins into the coin chute, may be provided along with a card slot 320 for accepting payment via a magnetic stripe or chip card. The card slot 320 as depicted is vertically-oriented. Optionally, the card slot may be horizontally-orientated and/or angled so as to shed away any water in the vicinity of the card slot (e.g., the card slot may be sloped downwardly away from the interior of the parking meter). The payment area 316 may also have a tap area 322 for making payment via a contactless payment device. The tap area 322 may include an industry-recognized logo and/or a message such as “tap here” for directing a user with respect to where the contactless payment device should be held to effect payment. The tap area 322 may also include one or more progress indicators, which may for example be a band of light emitting diodes (LEDs) for providing an indication of the progress of a transaction. The progress indicators may include color-based indications (e.g., green indicates a successful transaction).
Although depicted as a separate tap area 322 in the payment area 316, contactless payment readers and/or antennas therefor may be provided at other locations including, for example, surrounding, or in close proximity to, the display 312, or on a lower non-vertical or angled surface that provides a transition from the recessed flat portion to the cylindrical perimeter of the front cover 308. The contactless payment readers and/or antennas therefor may alternatively be mounted such that they are attached to or mounted on top of a surface of the housing, such as on top of one or more surfaces of the front cover as opposed to being flush mounted and/or hidden behind a front cover surface(s). In this regard, a number of locations for the contactless payment reader and corresponding antenna are possible. For example: a self-contained contactless payment reader device, such as an after-market contactless payment reader device may include a built-in antenna, and may be located or mounted either behind the front cover surface or on top of the front cover surface; or, alternatively, a contactless payment reader device may be physically separate from but connected to its corresponding antenna, and either one or both of the reader and the antenna may be located or mounted either behind the front cover surface or on top of the front cover surface (such that if the antenna is mounted externally and the reader is mounted internally, there would be a connection between the two through the front cover). For instances where the contactless payment reader and/or antenna are mounted on the surface of the front cover, they may be mounted by way of bolt and/or adhesive, and the may be protected by suitable plastic or other protective covering for protection against vandalism and the elements. In the case of a contactless reader mounted on the surface of the front cover, it may extend outwardly from such surface or sit higher on the surface. The front cover 308 may be made from a polycarbonate copolymer resin, which may be substantially transparent to radio frequency (RF) signals, allowing greater flexibility in where the tap area for the contactless payment reader may be located. In addition, and depending on the layout of components, either the user interaction area 310 or payment area 316 may include a keypad (not shown) for entering information, such as a PIN or license plate number for carrying out transactions. Further, the recessed flat portion that provides a location for user interaction may be illuminated with one or more lights (not shown), such as LED-type lights, that may be positioned at or near where the top of the flat portion transitions from the recessed flat portion to the cylindrical perimeter of the front cover 308.
The parking meter may include a low power and short range radio frequency (RF) type radio. The low power RF radio may be a Bluetooth® type radio, although other types of RF radios are possible, including, for example, WiFi, ZigBee, etc. More specifically, the low power and short range RF radio may be a Bluetooth low energy (also known as Bluetooth LE, BLE or Bluetooth Smart) radio, which provides lower power consumption than traditional Bluetooth but maintains a similar communication range. The RF radio may be mounted within the interior of the housing and may be constantly supplied with power, or supplied with power while there is sufficient power to power the RF radio. The housing, which may be made either significantly or substantially of polycarbonate copolymer resin, will not significantly attenuate RF signals from the RF radio. Accordingly, the housing may provide flexibility in the placement and mounting of the RF radio within the meter interior. The RF radio may have an electrical connection, or interface, to the meter controller board allowing the constantly powered RF radio to notify or interrupt the controller board, even if the meter is in a low powered or sleep state, as well as send and receive data and/or commands to and from the controller. By having the RF radio continuously powered, there is no need for a user having a mobile device to initially interact with the meter such as by pressing a user button, inserting a card, etc. in order to ensure the parking meter is in a wake, or operation, mode. Rather, the user, or more particularly the user's mobile device communicating with the RF radio, may place the meter in the wake or operation mode.
The primary power source for the Bluetooth low energy radio may comprise one or more battery packs located inside the parking meter. A supplementary source of power for the Bluetooth low energy radio, and/or for other devices, components or circuits within the parking meter, may comprise an alternative energy harvesting mechanism or device. For example, the parking meter may include an alternative energy harvesting mechanism or device that harvests energy from ambient RF signals, variations or differentials in nearby materials temperatures, and/or street vibrations. Energy harvested in this regard may be used to at least partially power the Bluetooth low energy radio and/or other devices, components or circuits within the parking meter. Such supplemental power source may allow a device such as a Bluetooth low energy radio to be more autonomous from and self-sufficient relative to the primary parking meter power sources and circuits, including the one or more battery packs of the parking meter.
The RF radio device may be used to facilitate purchases of park time from mobile devices or vehicles which have paired, or otherwise associated, with it. An associated mobile app may be used by the owner of the mobile device or vehicle to request and make the park time purchase. An identifier or name of the RF radio device in a particular meter being paired with, or otherwise associated with, the mobile device or vehicle may be associated with the meter's location or an ID label found on the exterior of the meter housing. Such a visible identifier or name allows the mobile device or vehicle owner to visually check to ensure they are pairing with, or otherwise associating with, the desired meter from or within a group of nearby meters that may also be outfitted with RF radio devices and possibly be within reception range of the mobile device or vehicle. The application on the mobile device may also provide the ability to scan or read barcodes, 2-D ‘QR’ codes, or RFID tags attached to the exterior of the meter, which can provide additional information about the meter including the meter location identifier or ID. Scanning a bar code, QR code or RFID tag may reduce the amount of user keyboard entry, thus speeding up the park time request process. The owner of the mobile device or vehicle may have previously registered the mobile app and associated it with a payment means such as a credit or debit card or other financial payment means such as PayPal, Applepay, GoogleWallet or Android Pay.
Once the mobile app or vehicle has paired with, or otherwise associated with, the selected RF radio device in a given meter, the current meter parking rate information is made available to the app, and the user completes their request for park time and confirms payment. Once payment is confirmed by the mobile app or vehicle, payment information, such as payment amount, park time, expiry time and/or authorization details may be provided from the app or vehicle to the meter via the RF radio device. The meter may then show paid status as well as the amount of park time purchased and/or remaining.
The low power RF radio may also be used by parking authority meter repair staff (e.g., city or municipality staff) to interact with the meter using an app on their mobile devices, without the use of any other special service cards, pressing any buttons, or physically opening up the meter housing. The app may allow for meter diagnostics, meter data collection, meter configuration, as well as repair staff time management. This alternative meter communication channel is particularly helpful to parking authority meter repair staff if the meter's cellular radio is not functional or the meter is located in an area with particularly poor cellular coverage.
The information area 310 may include one or more input controls 314 for interacting with and controlling the parking meter. For example, the input controls 314 may include buttons for increasing or decreasing an amount of time to be purchased, an ‘OK’ button, a ‘cancel’ button and one or more additional input controls which may be used for navigating one or more options or menus presented on a display 312. For example, if the parking meter is for two parking spots, left and right buttons may be included so that a user may indicate which spot he/she is paying for. Individual buttons may alternatively be combined into a keypad array, arranged horizontally above or below the user display or vertically to the left or right of the display.
The individual buttons and/or individual keys of a keypad array may use piezo-style switches, buttons or actuators, which are substantially or fully sealed from external environmental elements, thus making them advantageous for use in outdoor equipment. The keypad array may provide an electrical interface in the form of one or two conductors for each normally open or normally closed piezo-style switch, button or actuator in the array. Alternatively, to reduce the number of conductors, the keypad array electrical interface may use a circuit that implements a one, two or three-wire communications protocol, such as inter-integrated circuit (I2C) bus, serial peripheral interface (SPI) bus, or a custom protocol. In this regard, the number of input/output (I/O) lines or conductors required to detect switch states may be reduced or minimized. This form of electrical interface provides improved flexibility, as a keypad array with just a few buttons can use the same electrical interface as a keypad array with many buttons. For example a two-button, a six-button, or a 40-button keypad array could all be implemented using the same electrical interface. Further, reducing the number of conductors as described may also advantageously free up I/O on a meter's controller, and/or use an existing bus already used by the meter to manage other peripherals.
In addition to the display 312 for presenting information to a user, the interaction area 310 may further include one or more status LEDs for communicating a status of the parking meter at a distance. For example, the status LEDs may be used by parking enforcement personnel to determine which parking meters have expired time, have purchased time remaining, are malfunctioning, etc. without having to closely inspect the meter. The status LEDs may employ one color or more than one color in order to convey one or more statuses to parking enforcement personnel with respect to the parking meter, which, for example, may be a parking meter for a single parking spot or two parking spots. It is possible to replace the status LEDs with other indications that can be understood from a distance, such as flashing of the display, or magnetic “flip dots”. (While not depicted, the rear cover may also provide a clear window or opening that allows two or more brightly coloured and/or highly visible enforcement “flip-dots” (also known as “flip-discs”). The “flip-dots” may be magnetically energized, and each individual “flip-dot” may have a different colour on each side of it. A particular colour serves to represent a particular status of a specific parking space managed by the meter. Such “flip-dots” may be easily visible from enforcement vehicles or by walking parking attendants even in bright sunlight.) However, the status LEDs, particularly when flashing a low duty cycle, draw relatively very little power, and as such are preferable for remaining on for long periods of time, whereas powering the relatively larger display, even if only flashing, may consume a significantly greater amount of power. Additionally, although depicted as separate display and input components, it is contemplated that the input controls 314 and the display 312 may be provided by a single touch screen display, which may or may not provide color graphics. Although different types of touch screen sensors may be used, the preferred technology solution would offer low power consumption, which allows the touch screen sensor circuits to remain active even during non-operational periods, and when the main display is turned off to conserve power, so that any tap or touch to the display screen by the user will activate the meter. A touch screen display may allow some or all other user input controls to be eliminated. Alternatively, an additional touch or proximity sensor located anywhere on the meter front surface that preferably has low power consumption may be used to detect an initial user proximity or interaction with the parking meter, which may permit the parking meter to power on additional components such as the touch screen display. The preferred touch screen sensor would be robust, resistant to abuse and vandalism, and function reliably in outdoor environments, including extreme heat and cold, as well as with a gloved finger. Although not depicted in the FIGS., the parking meter may comprise a printer, including paper roll, and opening in the front cover for dispensing receipts for users upon payment of parking time.
As is well understood, single space parking meters are powered by one or more internal battery packs. The batteries may be supplemented, and/or charged, by a solar panel 330. Although other positions are possible, locating a solar panel 330 at or near the top of the parking meter is a desirable location. While the solar panel 330 is depicted in the FIGS. as being in a fixed, forward sloping orientation, it will be appreciated that the cylindrical shape of the exterior housing allows for an adjustable solar panel assembly that can be rotated at the time of installation such that the solar panel may be oriented to point in any direction. Typically, the direction to be pointed is due south for the northern hemisphere. The adjustable solar panel assembly may be allowed to be adjusted to any one of two or more vertical slopes or angles relative to the horizon. Although not depicted in the FIGS., the solar panel 330 at the top of the meter may also be optionally augmented with one or more additional flexible type solar panels attached to the exterior of the cylindrical surface of the rear cover.
As depicted, the parking meter 300 may be comprised of two sub-assemblies, namely, a front assembly 302, and a rear assembly 324. The rear assembly 324 may be secured to a coin vault housing permanently secured to the parking meter location. The rear assembly 324 may comprise a bottom plate 328 secured to the rear cover 326. The bottom plate can be permanently, or semi-permanently, attached to the coin vault housing. The front assembly 302 may be slidably engageable with the rear assembly 324 to allow the front assembly 302 to be removed from the rear assembly. The front assembly 302 may be fully removed, or partially removed or partially installed. That is, the front assembly 302 may engage with and slide down or up rails or profiles of the rear assembly 324 in order to secure the front assembly 302 to the rear assembly 324. In this regard, the front assembly 302 may comprise rail guides that engage with the rails of the rear assembly 324. The rail guides of the front assembly 302 may be formed as part of the front cover 308, or may be provided as separate components that may be attached to the front cover 308. It will be appreciated that the opposite configuration—i.e., rail guides on the rear assembly and rails on the front assembly—may also be possible, and that the variations and embodiments described herein may similarly be reverse vis-à-vis the front and rear assemblies. Additionally or alternatively, the front cover of the front assembly may include side edge surfaces that provide a bearing surface that in conjunction with bearing surfaces of an internal structure of the front assembly capture the rails of the rear assembly and allow the front assembly to slide up and down the rear assembly.
The front assembly 302 may be locked to the rear assembly 324 using a locking mechanism, which may be operated via a keyhole in the rear cover. The locking mechanism (not shown) may be affixed to the rear cover and engage with and secure the front cover in the locked position, or alternatively the locking mechanism may be affixed to the front cover and engage with and secure the rear cover when in the locked position. The front assembly 302 may be removed and replaced as a complete assembly by fully raising or lifting the front assembly vertically until its bottom end clears the rails of the rear assembly. Partially or fully raising the front assembly 302 from the rear assembly 324 may be done to, for example, inspect components or perform routine maintenance such as replacing batteries or clearing card reader or coin chute blockages. The rails may provide a spring-catch assembly (not shown) that allows the front assembly 302 to be lifted and held at any one of multiple partially raised vertical positions which allows hands free service work and testing of the meter to be carried out while in the partially raised or lifted position. Releasing the spring-catch would release the front assembly 302 allowing it to freely slide up or down on the rails or profiles. Alternatively, the front assembly 302 may be raised to a first position such that the rail guides of the front assembly 302 may be released from the rails of the rear assembly 324 at this first position, while the bottom of the front assembly 302 remains engaged with the rear assembly. Under this alternative configuration, there would also be a hinge, such as a telescoping or folded metal rod, located at a release point. For example, the hinge may be fixed at or near the top of the front assembly at one of its ends (such as at or near the top of the rail guides) and at the other end fixed at or near the top of the rear assembly (such as at or near the top of the rails). Releasing, separating or detaching the front assembly from the rear assembly at the release point allows the hinge to unfold or extend to a stopping point and the front assembly to tilt forward to a non-vertical or horizontal position. The bottom of the front assembly that remains engaged with the bottom of the rear assembly is pivotably configured at such bottom location so as to allow the front assembly to rotate forward from its vertical position to the more horizontal position. Such pivotable configuration may require that the rail guides at the bottom of the front assembly be partially releasable or hinge-able relative to the bottom of the rails and/or bottom of the rear assembly in order to allow for the rotation of the front assembly. Such rotation, which involves pivoting or hinging about an axis at the bottom location, thus allows for the back side or internally-facing components of the front assembly to be exposed for service work. The ability to raise and/or hinge forward the front assembly in this regard is advantageous for more openly exposing some or all of the internal parking meter components as compared with traditional single space parking meters. This may make repair, servicing and/or replacement of such components easier and/or quicker. With respect to the coin chute, a mirror (not shown) may be positioned just above a coin inspection slot or opening for the purpose of facilitating or making easier the inspection of the coin chute for blockages. Alternatively, payment devices may have quick release knobs allowing them to be disengaged from a normally fixed/rigid position on the front cover, such that they can be quickly and easily inspected, serviced and/or removed without the use of tools.
The front cover 308 may include a recess 506 at the top of the front cover 308 for receiving a solar panel. The solar panel recess 506 may include a secondary radio antenna recess 508 located towards the front of the front cover 308. The radio antenna recess 508 may provide a location for a flexible antenna that may be used for various communications, including for example cellular data communications related to authorization of payment transactions, verification of parking meter status, and/or updating of parking meter functions. Preferably, the antenna is located at or close to the curved inner surface of the front cover 308 within the recess 508. Alternatively, the antenna may be integrated into or surface mounted to the top facing surface of the solar panel. The solar panel recess 506 and radio antenna recess 508 may be fixedly part of, or rigidly attached to, the front cover 308, or, alternatively, the solar panel recess 506 and radio antenna recess 508 may be removable components that are replaceable in the field. The solar panel may optionally be covered with a transparent material that may be applied after the solar panel is received in the solar panel recess. Also, the solar panel may be permanently sealed or glued in the recess using an adhesive, such as a 3M adhesive gasket. In the alternative, the solar panel may be provided in a solar panel assembly or module that slidably engages with or is removably coupled or secured to the front cover 308, and further electrically engages with a battery of the parking meter when the solar panel assembly is fully engaged with the front cover. The solar panel assembly allows the solar panel to be replaceable/serviceable in the event of vandalism, failure or other damage. Such solar panel assembly may include the one or more lights, such as LED-type lights, that may be positioned at or near where the top of the flat portion transitions from the recessed flat portion to the cylindrical perimeter of the front cover 308. Such solar panel assembly may further include status LEDs or holes for permitting the visibility of such status LEDs. In addition to the alternative solar panel assembly, the radio antenna may alternatively be provided in a radio antenna compartment that slidably engages with or is removably coupled or secured to the front cover 308, and further electrically engages with the main electronics board when the radio antenna compartment is fully engaged with the front cover. This allows the radio and antenna combination to be quickly and easily swapped out in the field for maintenance/service, to replace/inspect a SIM card, or to switch the meter from one cellular network to another alternative network that may have better coverage or signal strength than the original network. The inside surface of the front cover 308 comprises a number of mounting locations for other components. The mounting points may include, for example, a mounting location for display and input components, a mounting location for a contactless reader, a mounting location for a magnetic stripe and chip card reader as well as a mounting location for a coin chute. Although a specific molding of a front cover is depicted, it will be appreciated that the particular locations of the mounting points and other features may vary, and will depend upon the specific components incorporated into the parking meter.
The parking meter 900 provides a low-profile parking meter assembly 901 that can be secured to a coin vault assembly, or similar structure. The parking meter assembly comprises an input area 906 comprising a plurality of input controls 902 arranged horizontally below a display 904. It will be appreciated that other arrangements of input controls and/or displays are possible. Further, in order to reduce an overall height of the parking meter assembly 901, the payment means are all located in the same general horizontal area located below the input area 906. That is, the coin chute 908 is located horizontally adjacent to the card slot 910 for the card reader as well as a tap target, or antenna location, 912 for the contactless payment reader.

The above has described the use of polycarbonate copolymer resins in forming lightweight and vandal resistant parking meter housings. Although various polycarbonate copolymer resins may be used, one commercially available example is the Lexan EXL® resin series made by SABIC (Saudi Arabia Basic Industries Corporation). Lexan EXL® resin is a copolymer formulation of polycarbonate and polysiloxane providing a material having high impact resistance, low temperature ductility and favourable humidity characteristics. Polycarbonate copolymer resins such as the Lexan EXL® resin series may also include electrical and flame retardant properties, UV-stabilizers, improved aesthetics such as high surface finish, and a broad spectrum of both opaque and transparent colours. In addition, as a favourable plastic for addressing eco-footprint concerns and demands, the Lexan EXL® resin series is based on non-chlorine and non-bromine flame retardant systems, and is free from heavy-metal pigments. In addition to the Lexan EXL® resin series, and as discussed further below, an alternative polycarbonate copolymer resin, or polycarbonate blended resin that may be used is the Makroblend UT1018 resin made by Covestro LLC.
In contrast to polycarbonate copolymer resins such as the Lexan EXL® resin series, non-copolymer or traditional polycarbonate material is less flexible, more susceptible to stress cracking or fracturing (particularly in cold conditions), more easily marked, has lower abrasion resistance, and has less favorable ductility and flexibility properties over a wide temperature range. In addition, non-copolymer or traditional polycarbonate is less favorable than nylon with respect to chemical resistance.
In the alternative to a polycarbonate copolymer, or polycarbonate blended resin, such as the Lexan EXL® resin series or the Makroblend UT1018 resin, other commercially available example materials that may be used for the housing exist. For example, the OnForce™ LFT NN-60LGF/000 HS Natural product of PolyOne Corporation, and the RTP 299 A X 140812 A product of RTP Company, each when combined or included with long glass fiber (LGF) or Kevlar fiber, may be suitable materials for the parking meter housing.
Both of the above-noted alternative products (of PolyOne Corporation and RTP Company) are nylon-based, and are technically known as aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamides (PA). (The prefix “PA” and “nylon” are equivalent in meaning.) In similar impact tests, the Lexan EXL® was found to be preferable to both of the above-noted materials even when those materials were combined with LGF. The OnForce (PolyOne Corporation) product noted is PA 66 made from hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid. The RTP product is PA 6 made from ε-Caprolactam. Both products are considered homopolymers. Copolymers, on the other hand, comprise a plurality of monomers, wherein one monomer of a copolymer is known as a comonomer. Both the OnForce and RTP products may preferably be combined with or include long glass fiber (LGF) material to increase their strength. Including LGF, or alternatively, Kevlar fiber, in this regard, results in a preferable material with respect to strength and other desirable characteristics as compared to standard nylon, such as standard PA 66 or standard PA 6.
PA 6 and PA 66 nylon materials can alternatively be combined to form a copolymer, i.e., PA 6/66 made from caprolactam, hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid. As they stand on their own, they have not been mixed or combined, and as such their crystallinity (which contributes strength and rigidity) and melting point are typically greater than the crystallinity and melting point of a copolymer that has resulted from a mixture of comonomers or pairs of comonomers. However, a mixture that forms a copolymer may still possess high crystallinity while increasing the amorphous regions in a material which contributes to its flexibility or elasticity. An example of a PA 6/66 copolymer that is nylon-based and that may be used to substantially or significantly form a parking meter housing is as DuPont's ZYTEL® 74G33J.
Preferably, a plastic copolymer or blended resin material that strikes a balance between crystallinity and elasticity (i.e., stiffness and toughness) is used. Standard or conventional nylon and polycarbonate materials do not offer the desired balance that achieves the materials characteristics found in a copolymer or a blended resin, such as those described herein. Moreover, standard or conventional nylon and polycarbonate materials may not provide material characteristics or performance that would make them preferable or acceptable for use or deployment in applications previously addressed by metal, such as the external housing of a parking meter, when compared with the material characteristics and performance of a copolymer or blended resin. In the alternative to a copolymer or blended resin, a nylon based polymer that includes long glass fiber or Kevlar fiber may be preferable over standard or conventional nylon and polycarbonate materials.
As noted above, Lexan EXL® is a copolymer made of polycarbonate and siloxane (silicone rubber). Nylon-based materials tend to absorb moisture at a rate greater than other plastics such as polycarbonate. Polycarbonate materials have a lower RF absorption coefficient (wherein a lower coefficient makes for better RF performance) than nylon-based materials. Unlike most thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo significant plastic deformations without cracking or breaking. A polycarbonate blend that may be an alternative to the Lexan EXL® polycarbonate copolymer and that may be used to substantially or significantly form a parking meter housing is the Makroblend UT1018 resin made by Covestro LLC, which is an impact-modified blend of Makrolon® polycarbonate and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polyester. This plastic blend combines the physical toughness of polycarbonate with the favorable chemical resistance of PET, and provides favorable chemical resistance, favorable low-temperature impact strength, and favorable dimensional stability, even in high-moisture environments. Its fatigue endurance and abrasion resistance are preferable to that of standard polycarbonate. The naturally glossy finish of Makroblend UT1018 resin provides an attractive surface that does not require painting. The resin is opaque and is supplied in pellet form for injection molding or extrusion.
The above-described favorable characteristics of polycarbonate copolymer and polycarbonate blended resins, nylon-based copolymers, and nylon-based polymers that include long glass fiber or Kevlar fiber are not commonly or generally known to those skilled in the art of parking meters. In this regard, the common general knowledge of those skilled in the art of parking meters is to prefer metallic parking meter housings given such housings are widely accepted and in use based on a strong track record for security and vandal-resistance, given use of plastics in parking meters has been overwhelmingly limited to internal molded plastic components and limited external components such as clear plastics for windows that cover a user display, and/or given the disadvantages of traditional polycarbonate (i.e., non-copolymer) or other traditional plastic material that would or may be felt if such material were used in or for a parking meter housing.
Although various individual features and/or functionality may have been described with reference to a specific embodiment, such features and/or functionality may be incorporated into other embodiments.
Although specific embodiments of a retrofit parking meter are described, it will be appreciated that other parking meter designs, including other parking meter components or configurations of parking meter components, may be implemented. Variations and modifications not described herein will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art having regard to the description herein.
