The development history of the ticket collection system:

Traditional paper ticket collection (1990s):

Paper ticketing: In the early days, parking lots used traditional paper tickets for ticket collection and charging. Car owners collected paper tickets when entering and paid when leaving, which was inefficient and prone to loss or forgery.
Electronic ticketing system (early 2000s):

Electronic ticket cards:Ticketing System

The introduction of electronic cards (such as IC cards and magnetic stripe cards) to replace paper tickets has improved the efficiency and management level of the system. Electronic cards can store more information and reduce the complexity of manual operations.
Preliminary automation: Some parking lots began to use automatic ticket vending machines and automatic ticket collection machines, reducing the pressure on manual windows and improving the efficiency of ticket collection and payment.

Intelligent ticket collection system (mid-2000s):

QR code/barcode: The introduction of QR code and barcode technology allows car owners to generate QR codes or barcodes through their mobile phones for ticket collection and payment, which improves user experience and system flexibility.
Self-service terminal: Deploy self-service ticket collection and payment terminals, so that car owners can complete ticket collection, payment and ticket refund operations by themselves, improving service efficiency.
Full digitalization (2010s):

Mobile payment and electronic ticketing: Fully introduce mobile payment (such as WeChat Pay, Alipay) and electronic ticketing systems. Car owners can complete ticket collection, payment and management through mobile applications, reducing the demand for traditional paper tickets.
Cloud system: The cloud platform is used to manage the ticket collection system, realizing real-time data synchronization, remote control and maintenance, and improving the stability and flexibility of the system.
Intelligence and integration (2020s):

Contactless ticket collection: Combined with UHF RFID, license plate recognition and other technologies, contactless ticket collection and payment are realized. Car owners do not need to stop when entering and exiting the parking lot, and the system automatically identifies and processes.
Multi-functional integration: The ticket collection system is integrated with other parking management systems (such as parking space guidance, intelligent navigation) to provide a comprehensive parking service solution.
Data analysis and optimization: Optimize the operation of the ticketing system through data analysis, and support functions such as dynamic pricing and intelligent queue management.
