KIOSKCOM: Parkeon showcases off-board fare collection kiosk

LAS VEGAS – KioskCom newcomer Parkeon exhibited Thursday the Strada, an off-board ticket-issuance and fare-collection solution built by Flextronics.

The kiosk sells and dispenses up to five different fare types, and accepts a variety of payment types, including coins, bills, credit/debit cards, smart cards and contactless bank cards.

The small-footprint Strada is powered by a solar panel on top of the machine, with the option to utilize AC power, and uses two-way wireless communication to allow for remote management of the system, including real-time alarm notification, transaction reporting and event history.
