<p>A parking meter system is disclosed in which a smart card (101) is used as method of payment. This smart card is inserted once into a parking meter to start the meter use time and inserted a second time to end the meter use time. Upon the second insertion (200) of the card, a refund is calculated (225) and credited to the card. Zeroing of the parking meter is accomplished by giving the refund (235). This reduces motorist cruising to find a meter with remaining time.</p> |
