Paying by sending an SMS is easy and very flexible. I like it because when you are in a meeting you get a reminder and it is quite easy to calculate how long it will take and if it’s worth to send another SMS for another 1 hour of parking time.

PDA-equipped parking officer (or municipality police) make regular checks by entering vehicle's license plate number into PDA and receiving payment status information from server
PDA transmits additional information to server: time of check; geo-spatial position of vehicle; information about any parking policy violations
PDA can be programmed with Automatic License-plate Recognition Software to automate the verification process by simply taking a photo of the license plate. This simplifies officers' work and reduces error rate
