What is “smart parking”? It’s all about data: information on how parking spots are used; how much time people spend using them; whether or not the spaces are unused for extended periods of time. You can only make smart decisions if you have the correct information.
There are a lot of reasons why you will want to make your parking spaces smarter. Where should you start? The best way to measure a complex thing is to break it down into individual parts. Let’s start with an overview of the individual aspects of parking.
Occupancy detection
Payments
Displays, VMS (Video Message Signs) and VMP (Video Message Panels)
Violation control systems
Access control
All the individual parts need to be able to communicate with each other.
This can be done with an API (Application Programming Interface).
