A modern parking system for a sports facility

The Central Sports Centre in Spała serves thousands of athletes, coaches, guests and participants of sporting events every year. Due to the need for efficient vehicle traffic management, the modern Car Flow System parking control system was implemented, enabling the automation of entry and exit processes, identification of parking users, and convenient handling of payments and reservations.

The solutions applied allow for effective parking management, increased security and improved comfort for users of the COS Spała infrastructure.

Entry parking terminal

• CFS-S-E7 parking terminal
• 7" colour touchscreen
• issuance of parking tickets with QR code
• support for Unique subscription cards
• support for parking reservations via QR codes
• voice communication with the operator
• automatic vehicle height recognition and tariff change
• multilingual user interface (up to 6 languages)

Exit parking terminal

• CFS-S-X7 parking terminal
• 7" colour touchscreen
• support for QR codes and parking tickets
• support for Unique subscription cards
• VoIP voice communication
• printing of payment confirmations and simplified invoices

Cashless payments

• cashless payment module in the exit terminal
• support for NFC, BLIK, PayPass and payment card transactions
• fast and secure settlement of parking fees

Parking barriers and road infrastructure

As part of the implementation, a complete vehicle traffic control infrastructure was installed, ensuring safe and smooth flow of parking users.

• Standard parking barriers with a 3m arm 
• automatic opening modules in the event of power failure
• inductive loops for vehicle detection
• inductive loop detectors
• SOS module for handling priority vehicles
• parking signage and vehicle traffic safety elements

LPR Licence Plate Recognition System

A key element of the investment is the automatic licence plate recognition (LPR) system, which enhances security and enables effective access control to the car park. OCR technology allows for rapid vehicle identification and integration with other modules of the parking system.

• CFS-C-L01 LPR cameras
• LPR system controller 
• OCR licences for cameras
• OCR licence for the controller 

Parking Space Reservation System

The implementation for COS Spała was equipped with a parking space reservation module, enabling advance parking planning and integration with external systems. The solution proves particularly effective during the organisation of sports competitions, conferences, training camps and special events.

CarFlow 2.12 Server and Software

• CFS server for 1–8 parking devices
• RACK enclosure for the server
• Unique subscription card reader
• CarFlow 2.12 Basic – perpetual licence
• CarFlow Reservations module
• remote system access via web browser 
• REST API enabling integration with payment, reservation and parking occupancy monitoring systems

Implementation Summary

The Car Flow System parking system implemented at the Central Sports Centre in Spała is a modern solution dedicated to sports, hotel and recreational facilities. The integration of parking terminals, cashless payments, the LPR system, barriers and the parking space reservation module ensures a high level of automation, security and user convenience.

The implementation confirms the capabilities of the CarFlow system in handling facilities with high vehicle turnover and variable traffic intensity, characteristic of modern sports complexes.
