Car Park Management
Utilising CCTV and advanced IoT VT processing units, our vehicle counting system delivers world-class accuracy in all conditions—whether day or night, in rain, sun, or snow.
What are Smart car parks?
Use Cases
Capacity Monitoring:
Real-time capacity monitoring ensures smooth operations by tracking vehicles entering and exiting the car park. Administrators are alerted when limits are near, helping to prevent overcrowding. This data allows for better management of peak times, improving traffic flow and customer satisfaction by ensuring efficient use of available spaces.
Customer Notifications:
Customers are automatically informed about parking availability through apps, SMS, or web platforms. Real-time updates on occupancy, wait times, and space availability help them make smarter decisions, reducing frustration and congestion by minimising the time spent searching for parking.
Overcrowding Management:
The system helps control overcrowding by monitoring car park occupancy and managing traffic flow when limits are reached. It redirects vehicles to alternative areas or provides wait time estimates. This reduces bottlenecks, ensures compliance with regulations, and improves overall safety.
Smart City Support:
This system supports smart city initiatives by providing live data to city planners and transport authorities, helping manage parking resources and park-and-ride services. It reduces congestion and emissions, allowing for better traffic flow and more efficient urban mobility planning.
Key Features
Real-Time Occupancy Tracking:
Detect the presence of vehicles in parking spaces and provide real-time data on available spots. This allows for continuous updates on parking availability, which can be displayed on apps, websites, or LED screens.
Automated Parking Guidance:
Systems can guide drivers to the nearest available space, reducing time spent searching for parking. The system uses sensors and signage to direct vehicles, improving traffic flow within the car park and reducing congestion.
Predictive Analytics:
Using IoT data, operators can predict parking demand based on historical trends, weather, or events. This allows for more efficient planning and better resource allocation, helping reduce overcrowding and improving service quality.
Integration with Smart City Systems:
Integrate with broader smart city platforms, allowing for coordination with traffic management systems, public transport, and urban mobility solutions. This supports city-wide efforts to reduce congestion and improve the flow of people and vehicles.
Smart Payment Systems:
IoT-enabled parking meters or apps allow for seamless, automated payments. Drivers can pay for parking via their smartphones or through contactless payment options, making the experience quicker and more user-friendly.
benefits
Remote Monitoring and Management:
Car park operators can manage multiple parking facilities remotely through IoT platforms. They can monitor real-time data, receive alerts, adjust policies, and manage capacity, all from a central dashboard.
Enhanced Security:
IoT technology improves security through surveillance cameras, license plate recognition, and automatic alerts for suspicious activities. This ensures the safety of both vehicles and users, providing peace of mind for customers and operators.
Reduced Congestion:
By streamlining parking processes and guiding vehicles to available spaces, IoT reduces traffic congestion both within parking lots and surrounding areas. This contributes to smoother traffic flow and lessens the burden on city infrastructure.
Improved Customer Experience:
Real-time information on parking availability, integrated payment systems, and seamless entry/exit processes significantly improve the customer experience. Drivers can easily find and pay for parking, reducing frustration and saving time.
Environmental Benefits:
IoT technology helps reduce CO2 emissions by minimising the time vehicles spend idling or searching for parking. By optimising parking space usage and guiding drivers directly to available spots, fuel consumption is reduced, contributing to a greener environment.
Overview
Providing accurate, real-time vehicle count and occupancy data is incredibly valuable to motorists, allowing them to instantly find available parking spaces. For business owners and car park operators, this data is essential for planning, identifying trends across different times, days, and months, and becoming a powerful tool to help ease congestion.
When integrated with our suite of solutions, this information can also be combined with data on air quality, weather patterns, public transport passenger counts, and pedestrian flows—offering a comprehensive approach to smart city management and resource optimization.
