The COMET system provides a personal parking meter called the COMET that allows users to pay for street parking using their mobile phone or computer. Key features include only paying for actual parking time, easy enforcement through the COMET's display or wireless connection, and a backend system that municipalities can use to manage payments and parking rules. The COMET is small, lightweight, and easy for users to operate from their vehicle without handling cash.
