The Christchurch City Council (CCC) provides a wide range of services to the Christchurch community. The Council is responsible for providing services such as building consents and the maintenance of parks, water and waste services to over 360,000 people in the Christchurch community. One of the Council’s responsibilities is the management of traffic flow in the central city.

To improve the city’s traffic flow, two car parking display signs were installed on the inner one-way system in the central city, which has been designated as the parking search route. Two more signs are planned at a later stage. The signs indicate whether the building is open or closed, provide the public with timely information on car parking availability and can provide route information in the event of a dramatic change to road conditions in the central city.
In order to ensure a cost effective and reliable solution, wireless communications were needed between the display signs, the car parking buildings and Council chambers, so the Council approached Tait Communications to propose a radio communications solution.
The alternative was to physically install new phone lines and cables, which would involve additional setup costs and ongoing rental charges.
The eight car parking buildings now each have a programmable logic controller (PLC) and a TM8105 equipped with high speed data. The PLCs monitor gate openings and closings to the buildings, allowing the building operators to view the open/close status of any building and their occupancy rates.
TM8105S提供从PLC的无线高速数据链路回到理事会腔室。理事会还可以远程查看和控制停车系统。TM8105是该系统的最佳解决方案，并且具有高速数据功能。TM8105已设计具有最终的系统集成灵活性，并且它具有广泛的内部选项区域进行自定义。
Tait Communications解决方案使公共和理事会都受益。该系统确保CCC在高峰时段（如圣诞节）期间有效地管理流量，并减少日常拥塞。
The CCC has used Tait Communications equipment for over 24 years and Tait Communications is the Council’s preferred radio supplier. Karen Scott, Team Leader for Off-Street Parking, said the Council is happy with the solution. “The system will allow us to improve traffic flow in the central city. Previously, customers would queue outside car parks, causing chaos and congestion.”
