The parking session starts automatically upon vehicle entry, and fees are calculated and deducted directly from the Darb wallet upon exit, without the need to send SMS, payment machines, QR codes, or any manual actions. This provides users with a smart, seamless, and effortless parking experience.The Free Flow Paid Parking System provides a smoother and easier parking experience for users through a smart operational system that enables automatic parking registration and fee deduction via the Darb wallet. It removes the need for SMS, payment machines, QR code scanning, or any manual actions, helping save time and improve user convenience.It also eliminates the need for paper tickets and cash transactions, enhancing parking management efficiency and reducing the challenges of traditional payment methods.
