Looking for a more effective way?

Parquery and Fotokite bring to you an innovative solution for parking management and traffic needs – tethered drones as instant mobile cameras. There is no need for costly and time-consuming equipment installation; instead, you get insights instantly.

Parquery's drone-based solution offers a quick, cost-effective alternative to conventional methods, particularly for temporary installations such as surveys, events, and pilot projects.

In partnership with the Swiss company Fotokite, we introduce tethered drones for parking and traffic solutions. No pilot needed for flying this drone.

Key Highlights

Parquery's drone-based solution eliminates hurdles of conventional solutions, allowing you to:

Deploy in an instant
No more waiting for equipment installation. With tethered drones, we arrive on-site and start immediately.
Reduce the costs
Save on upfront expenses and maintenance costs for equipment. Rent the drone for the desired duration.
Scale to fit
Adapt the project scope to your needs, from small surveys to large-scale events.
Protect privacy
Our solution captures anonymized data only, ensuring privacy for everyone involved.
Process on-site
Our software can run on-site - no need for cloud storage and no privacy concerns.

Fotokite

Fotokite's actively tethered drones save team resources by launching, flying, and landing with the single push of a button.

No piloting necessary.

Fotokite Sigma is authorized and recognized by aviation authorities as a safer alternative to non-actively tethered drones and free-flying drone systems.

Use cases for drone-based smart parking

Parking Surveys

Gain comprehensive data on parking utilization patterns without disrupting daily operations.

Conventional methods for parking surveys, such as manual counts, clicker counts, surveys or surveys via mobile app, are labor-intensive, prone to errors, partly depend on user participation, and can only be carried out at long intervals.

The result: incomplete data.

With a drone, such problems are history. Up to 300 parking spaces can be monitored in real time, providing reliable, complete and up-to-date data.

Event Parking Guidance

Streamline parking at events with live guidance, reducing congestion and frustration.

Typically, event parking relies on static signs and staff at critical locations connected over radio, requiring a lot of human resources and coordination.

With a drone, all parking attendants see the live availability in all areas, allowing them to make targeted routing decisions. In addition, mobile variable message signs (VMS) or LED road signs can be rented, connected to the Parquery system and used for effective guidance.

Pilot Projects

Try before you buy. Test our technology and parking management strategies with real-time data before making permanent changes.

Before investing in our solution or any other smart parking technology, such as in-ground sensors which might involve hardware purchases and road works, take advantage of our pilot projects to ensure compatibility and effectiveness.

Use cases for drone-based traffic and pedestrian surveys

Traffic flow analysis

Measure traffic volume, speed, congestion patterns, vehicle types, incidents at intersections, highways, and urban areas.

Road safety assessments

Identification of potential safety risks through analysis of traffic events, behavior, incidents, near misses and accidents.

Pedestrian flow analysis

Understand pedestrian movement patterns in public spaces, shopping districts, and event venues.

Construction site monitoring

Track traffic flow in or around construction zones to optimize traffic management and improve safety.

Event & crowd management

Gain insights into traffic or pedestrian flow patterns to improve event logistics and crowd management.
