The reporter experienced a smart parking. In the parking lot of Huamao Apartment near Dawang Road, there is a small unmanned gate on the left side of the entrance. When a vehicle passes, it automatically lifts the gate, and at the same time, the mobile phone receives a text message "You have entered the parking lot." When leaving the parking lot, the reporter habitually planned to take out his mobile phone to pay, but found that the gate had automatically lifted the lever to let the person pass. It turns out that the recharge card bound to the APP has been automatically deducted, and the entry and exit times are clear at a glance on the order details.

Currently, ETCP supports Alipay and WeChat recharge. If you are not worried about the automatic deduction by the system, you can also choose to pay the parking fee yourself.
