Integrated Parking Management System for Oxygen Club — Automatic Barriers, ANPR and Self-Payment — Riyadh
Fast Vision delivered a complete parking management system for Oxygen Club in Riyadh, covering 6-metre arm automatic barriers on both entry and exit lanes, an Android ticket dispenser, an exit unit with QR reader, card reader, intercom and screen, ANPR cameras that open the barrier automatically for registered members, and parking management software with self-payment — all completed within three to four actual working days.
The Challenge
The club entrance serves two completely different users in the same lane. A member enters and leaves daily, and any stop to pull a ticket or make a payment becomes a queue at peak hours. A visitor needs a ticket, a duration calculation and a payment on exit. A system that treats both the same way produces either congestion at the gate or gaps in revenue collection. The second challenge is safety. A barrier that closes its arm on a timer alone is a direct hazard to vehicles; closure has to be driven by actual confirmation that the vehicle has cleared the arm's path, not by an estimate of elapsed time. The third is environmental and operational at once. The equipment stands in the open under Riyadh sun and dust year-round, and the club is in daily use, so the civil work, the cabling and the connection back to the data room had to be completed in a short window without disrupting traffic through the entrances.
The Solution
The system was built in four layers. Barriers: an SCI-BAR-ARM6M-KIT automatic barrier with a 6-metre arm on each lane, supplied with two remote controls for manual opening and closing when needed, mounted on an SCI-MNT-BAR-STAND. The arm length is not a cosmetic detail — it is what allows a single barrier to cover the full lane width instead of two. Lane devices: at entry, an Android-based SCI-GAT-ENT-AND-TKT unit combining the access control panel, ticket printer, card reader and ticket button in one housing, in rust-resistant steel with an automotive-grade paint shell and multiple anti-corrosion treatment — a deliberate specification for a device that stands outdoors and is touched thousands of times. At exit, an Android-based SCI-GAT-EXT-AND-QR unit with access control, QR reader, card reader, intercom and screen, covering self-payment, verification and contact with management for any exception from a single point. Detection and recognition: a two-channel SCI-SEN-LOOP-2CH ground loop detector senses vehicle presence and movement in the lane, and an SCI-SAF-PHOTOCELL photocell prevents the arm from lowering while a vehicle is beneath it. Above them, an ANPR camera from the SCI-CAM-ANPR-KIT with its mount reads every vehicle's plate; when a plate matches a pre-registered record on the club's member list, the barrier opens automatically on entry and exit with no ticket and no manual payment. That single point is what separates the member experience from the visitor experience within the same lane. Network and control: all devices are connected by unified network cabling running back to the club's data room through a Reyee RG-ES218GC-P 18-port gigabit smart PoE switch, housed in a 9U equipment rack. The system runs entirely over IP and is managed by the SCI-SFT-PARK-PAY parking management and self-payment software, master version, installed on a mini PC with a Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. That structure is what makes any change — adding a new member's plate, adjusting a tariff, reviewing lane activity — something done from one point rather than at the device itself.
Execution
Installation, programming and full integration were completed within three to four actual working days. Work began with positioning the barriers and devices in both lanes, preparing mounting points and power provisions and cutting the loop detector channels into the ground, followed by running the unified network cabling to the data room and installing the barriers, entry and exit units and ANPR cameras with reading angles set to plate height. The switch, rack and central PC were then installed and IP addresses assigned, the parking management software deployed, and the operating logic programmed: barrier opening conditions, registered plates linked to the member list, and photocell and loop detector behaviour set so the arm only lowers once the lane is confirmed clear. Both lanes were tested with real vehicles in member and visitor scenarios before handover to the club team.
Results
Two fully automated lanes: registered members enter and exit without stopping thanks to plate recognition, visitors issue their own ticket and settle payment without a cashier, and the arm lowers only on confirmation from the photocell and loop detector. All of it is managed from a single PC in the club's data room over the network — and delivered in four working days without interrupting traffic through the entrances.
