.NET, XML and Oracle Parking Fines System Issuing Parking Fines and following such violations is a major income source for any Town council or Administration - in Dubai, this critical activity is worth many tens of millions of dollars annually, and so a "systems
critical" approach was needed when developing such software and integrating such systems. In a newly confirmed award, ICS has been entrusted to build a complete automated system for the Municipality of Dubai, using a mixture of platforms (.NET, Oracle Java, XML) to create a leading-edge technology solution for issuing Parking Fines and administrating Parking Fine related activities in the Emirate of Dubai. Given the amount of potential revenue involved for Dubai Municipality, and the ability of the Municipality to save
many millions of dollars through greater efficiency, ICS is very pleased to be developing software and to be entrusted in order to meet the rigorous deadlines of this project.

Hand-held devices will be issued to all Dubai Municipality Parking Inspectors; these state of the art machines are supplied by Schweers of Germany, allowing the printing of bills as well as complex retrieval of data, anywhere, by authorised Dubai Municipality staff. The Hand-held devices connect online to the ICS system, allowing Inspectors to enter data
and notes, and allowing detailed and up-to-the minute reporting, based on the Dubai Municipality database, on any vehicle.

A key reason why ICS was selected for this task from a variety of local and international bidders was the sophisticated nature of the integration needed by Dubai Municipality between different technologies and middle-ware, and matching this to the needs of a complex network and wireless network environment.
