    Parking control is usually integrated with all of the following equipment except:

    • A.

      A. telephone entry

    • B.

      B. video

    • C.

      C. biometric

    • D.

      D. RFID

    Correct Answer
    C. C. biometric
    Explanation
    Parking control systems typically include equipment such as telephone entry systems, video cameras, and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. These tools help manage and monitor parking access and ensure the security of the parking area. However, biometric technology, which involves using unique physical characteristics like fingerprints or facial recognition for identification, is not commonly integrated into parking control systems. Biometric systems are more commonly used for access control in buildings or for personal identification purposes, rather than specifically for parking control.

    One-way traffic spikes can be programmed to automatically retract.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    A. A. True
    Explanation
    One-way traffic spikes can indeed be programmed to automatically retract. This means that they can be controlled to rise or lower as needed, allowing traffic to flow in one direction while preventing it from going in the opposite direction. This feature is commonly used in parking lots, toll booths, and other areas where traffic flow needs to be regulated.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The purpose of an exterior loop detector is to ________.

    • A.

      A. detect a car to open the gate

    • B.

      B. allow for traffic control restricting access

    • C.

      C. prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle

    • D.

      D. All of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. C. prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle
    Explanation
    The purpose of an exterior loop detector is to prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle. This detector is designed to sense the presence of a vehicle and ensure that the gate remains open until the vehicle has passed through. By detecting the vehicle, it helps to prevent accidents or damage that could occur if the gate were to close on a vehicle. Therefore, option c is the correct answer.

    Typical parking revenue control systems include ________.

    • A.

      A. parking gates, ticket dispensers, proximity or RFID readers, pay-on-foot stations and exit lane payment stations

    • B.

      B. gates, loops, readers, ticket dispensers, locks and Internet connection

    • C.

      C. barrier arms, ticket spitters and credit card machines

    • D.

      D. guard booth, gates, barrier arms, turnstiles and cash dispensers

    Correct Answer
    A. A. parking gates, ticket dispensers, proximity or RFID readers, pay-on-foot stations and exit lane payment stations
    Explanation
    Typical parking revenue control systems include parking gates, ticket dispensers, proximity or RFID readers, pay-on-foot stations, and exit lane payment stations. These components are essential for managing and controlling the flow of vehicles in parking facilities. Parking gates and barrier arms are used to control access to the parking area, while ticket dispensers and ticket spitters issue tickets to drivers upon entry. Proximity or RFID readers are used to validate tickets or access cards, and pay-on-foot stations and credit card machines allow drivers to make payment for their parking. Finally, exit lane payment stations enable drivers to pay and exit the parking facility smoothly.

  • 8. 

    It is acceptable to have up to two splices in a loop detection circuit.

    • A.

      A. True

    • B.

      B. False

    Correct Answer
    B. B. False
    Explanation
    It is not acceptable to have any splices in a loop detection circuit. Splices can introduce impedance mismatches and signal reflections, which can cause errors in the detection of loops. Therefore, it is best to avoid splices in a loop detection circuit to ensure accurate and reliable results.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Gates are generally slow moving. To prevent tailgating one option is to provide ________.

    • A.

      A. a guard to watch traffic

    • B.

      B. a barrier arm that drops after each vehicle

    • C.

      C. a faster gate operator

    • D.

      D. spikes

    Correct Answer
    A. A. a guard to watch traffic
    Explanation
    To prevent tailgating, one option is to provide a guard to watch traffic. This is because a guard can actively monitor the vehicles entering and exiting the gate, ensuring that only authorized vehicles are allowed through and preventing any unauthorized vehicles from tailgating. A guard can also manually control the gate operation, allowing for more efficient and secure traffic flow. This human presence acts as a deterrent for potential tailgaters and helps maintain the overall security of the gate.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The proper depth for burying a loop wire in the pavement is between _______ and ________.

    • A.

      A. 6 in. / 12 in.

    • B.

      B. ¼ in. / 3 in.

    • C.

      C. 1 in. / 6 in.

    • D.

      D. 3 in. / 24 in.

    Correct Answer
    C. C. 1 in. / 6 in.
    Explanation
    The proper depth for burying a loop wire in the pavement is between 1 inch and 6 inches. This depth range ensures that the loop wire is securely embedded in the pavement, protecting it from damage caused by traffic or other external factors. Burying the wire too shallow may result in it being exposed or easily damaged, while burying it too deep may make it difficult to access or repair if needed. Therefore, a depth range of 1 inch to 6 inches strikes a balance between protection and accessibility.

    A ________ fitting is used in gate systems to feed lubricants, usually lubricating grease, into the bearing under moderate to high pressure using a grease gun.

    • A.

      A. Quark

    • B.

      B. Zirk

    • C.

      C. Torx

    • D.

      D. Quartz

    Correct Answer
    B. B. Zirk
    Explanation
    A Zirk fitting is a type of fitting that is used to feed lubricants, specifically lubricating grease, into a bearing under moderate to high pressure using a grease gun. This fitting allows for easy and efficient lubrication of the bearing, ensuring smooth operation and reducing friction. The other options (Quark, Torx, Quartz) are not relevant to lubrication fittings and are therefore incorrect.

  • 14. 

    A safety strip is required on the edge of a ________ to prevent entrapment.

    • A.

      A. barrier arm

    • B.

      B. turnstile

    • C.

      C. slide gate

    • D.

      D. magnetic lock

    Correct Answer
    C. C. slide gate
    Explanation
    A safety strip is required on the edge of a slide gate to prevent entrapment. This is because slide gates operate by sliding horizontally to open or close, and there is a risk of someone getting caught or trapped between the gate and the surrounding structure or objects. The safety strip acts as a barrier or cushion to prevent entrapment and ensure the safety of individuals using or passing through the gate.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    A general rule of thumb is that the height of detection is ________ the length of the short leg of the loop.

    • A.

      A. ½ to 2⁄3

    • B.

      B. 1 to 2 times

    • C.

      C. 3 to 4 times

    • D.

      D. 2 times

    Correct Answer
    A. A. ½ to 2⁄3
    Explanation
    The correct answer is a. ½ to 2⁄3. This means that the height of detection is typically half to two-thirds the length of the short leg of the loop. This rule of thumb helps to determine the appropriate height for detection in relation to the size of the loop.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    The short leg of any loop used for vehicle detection should never be less than ________.

    • A.

      A. 18 in.

    • B.

      B. 1 ft.

    • C.

      C. 24 in.

    • D.

      D. 36 ft.

    Correct Answer
    A. A. 18 in.
    Explanation
    The short leg of any loop used for vehicle detection should never be less than 18 inches. This is because a shorter loop may not be able to accurately detect smaller vehicles or may not provide enough space for larger vehicles to pass over the loop. Having a minimum length of 18 inches ensures that the loop can effectively detect a wide range of vehicles, making it a suitable choice for vehicle detection purposes.
