Hi All,

Has anyone developed a car park system software before? I have a client who
needs to upgrade their cash register based system to PC.

Currently their customer pickup a ticket (with barcode info) from the
entrance terminal and open the barrier gate. Upon exit the attendance count
the time used and collect payment then the cash drawer will eject as well
as open the exit barrier gate.

I hope to save time instead of developing a new software, of course with
reasonable price.

Hi Frankie,

In case nobody responds to this....

It's basically a barcode reader and cash register app.  The BarCode 
reader returns the time information for calculation of amount due.  The 
attendant collects the amount due - generally the cash drawer should 
open at this time (send the open code to the cash register port) and 
once the attendant has registered the payment (cash drawer reports 
closed or attendant enters a specific acceptance key) then you send the 
open code to the gate port.

You can verify the sequence with your customer, but it's really pretty 
straight forward as long as you know which ports and what ascii 
sequences to send.  You will also need to know what is required to 
approve opening the gate.  Equipment specifications should give you 
everything you need.  Most of this older equipment uses Serial Ports so 
the PC's might need to have these added since most new PC's today don't 
have them.
