Pay-and-Display Parking Workflow

A pay-and-display system typically allows drivers to purchase parking time and receive a printed ticket for display in the vehicle.

A typical process is:

The driver selects the parking duration.
The system calculates the required fee.
The customer completes payment.
The machine prints a parking ticket.
The driver displays the ticket according to local parking rules.

Other public parking systems may use license plate-based payment instead of paper display tickets.
