Method of Testing & Commissioning Car Parking Management System

Functional Testing:

Warning: electrostatic discharge energy can harm electronic components under certain conditions; and may build up on your body or an object and then discharge into another object. Be sure to discharge any static electricity before touching the device.

Entry Terminals

• Test the coder by taking a test ticket from each coder.
• Check the brightness of display in each entry terminals.
• Cower the 1st loop and check the loop indicators.
• Cower the 2nd loop and check the loop indicators.
• Take a ticket from the machine by covering the 1st loop and check the barrier opening then cower the second loop to test the closing of barrier.
• Take a ticket from the machine by covering the 1st loop and take reverse without covering the 2nd loop and test the same ticket in workstations and exits for fraud ticket message.

Workstation

• Check the monitoring system at the control software
• Check the transaction history of each terminal
• Check the status of entry and exit terminals (barrier, ticket storage etc)
• Check the barrier operation through the control software (opening and closing of the barrie1 through the software)
• Test the ticket from the entry for tariff and payment at workstation
• Test the ticket coding by producing tickets at the workstation

Exit terminals

• Test the coder by inserting a test ticket
• Cower the 1st loop and insert a ticket form entry to test the tariff and exit operations
• Cower the 1st loop and inse11a validated ticket to test the exit operation check the same through a non validated ticket then pass through the 2nd loop
• Test the ticket from workstation at exit terminals

 Parking Guidance system

• Cower the loops at each entries and check the loop indicators
• Pass a vehicle through the entry loops and check the change in counting at variable message signs
• Cower the loops at each exit and check the loop indicators
• Pass a vehicle through the exit loops and check the change in counting at Variable message signs

Fire alarm

• Activate fire alarm and check the barriers all the barriers should be in open position until the fire alarm goes off.
• Activate the fire alarm and pass a vehicle to check whether the barrier is closing on fire alarm.
