What is “smart parking”?
Smart parking is about efficiently and effectively managing parking spaces, understanding how they are used, and making informed and well-founded business decisions based on clear evidence.
In a first step, it is about collecting data on your parking space: real-time information on available parking spots, automatic detection of vehicles overstaying or violating parking rules. This data can directly be used to guide drivers to available spots or send parking officers straight to the offending vehicle, allowing them to efficiently enforce rules.
Obtaining parking data opens up innovative data-driven solutions, such as integrated payment and booking - without the need of tremendous infrastructure on site, such as barriers, fences, ticket vending machines, etc. But that is not all.
The raw data collected over time offers the potential of gaining valuable insight into how the parking space is used which can be used as a decision-making tool. To achieve this, the data is aggregated and analyzed to provide understanding of usage patterns, e.g. over time or spatially.
You can only make smart decisions if you have the right information in hand.
There are a lot of reasons why you will want to make your parking spaces smarter. Where should you start? The best way to tackle a complex issue is to break it down into its parts.
Let’s start with an overview of the individual aspects of parking.
City officers and parking professionals love the wealth of interesting, applicable data they receive from smart parking systems. It’s not just trendy, it’s an effective solution to your parking issues. For example, with Parquery’s smart parking solution you can:
Parquery's smart parking solution is based on camera images and Artificial Intelligence (AI). It requires little in the way of hardware, is proven to work for a broad range of situations and under challenging conditions, and integrates with existing and new parking components:
Only a single camera is needed to monitor a large outdoor parking lot.
Parquery detects vehicles in garages or outdoors.
Works with and without parking lines.
Works in difficult weather, e.g. snow cover.
Parquery complements the portfolio of payment companies.
Parquery complements the portfolio of phone payment parking companies.
Parquery directs drivers to available parking spots in parking lots equipped with barriers.
Parquery identifies whether a parked vehicle is charging. Facility managers receive real-time alerts if not.
Parking managers receive alerts in the event vehicles are wrongly parked, such as on the road (double parking).
Parquery detects vehicles are wrongly parked, e.g. on two parking spots.
Real-time alerts are sent to parking officers for wrongly parked vehicles, e.g. parked on the sidewalk.
Parquery detects if reserved or dedicated parking spots are used and informs parking officers.
We are very satisfied. I give Parquery 10 out of 10!
Thanks to their dashboard, we now understand when and how frequent our parking areas are used. Their statistics tool is also very helpful for all subsequent analyses.
Occupancy detection
Driver guidance, e.g. displays or mobile phone apps
Violation control
Access control
Payments
Data analysis, usage statistics, and reporting
All the individual parts need to be able to communicate with each other and transfer data between them, which is typically done using an Application Programming Interface (API).
Parquery displays available parking spots in real-time to commercial center customers. Facility managers get real-time results and structured analytics on interactive dashboards. They know exactly what is happening in their car parks.
Parquery can help municipal parking authorities indicate parking availability throughout the city, guide the traffic accordingly, and thus contribute to a better quality of life for everyone
