What is Intelligent Parking?

Provides information to motorists each time they have to make a decision in order to guide them to the correct lot, the correct floor, and finally to an open

bay.

How Does It Work?

• Parking can begin a long way from the parking facility– Internet or PDA

– Municipal or DOT DMS/VMS Signs

– NTCIP Requirement• Integration to any

Manufacturer

Inform

• Information at the entrance of the parking facility– Informs drivers of

the parking conditions in each parking garage

Direct

• Signs display real-time data at every decision point

• Signs inside the facilities indicate to which level drivers should proceed

Guide

• Zone boards show aisle availability to keep traffic flowing through the garage

Show

• Using individual bay sensors the motorist can easily navigate to an open bay

– Green – Vacant– Red – Occupied– Blue – Handicapped– Amber – Reserved

• Increased customer satisfaction by helping them find a parking space with minimum effort in the shortest time possible – on average customers find a space 50% faster.

• Better flow of traffic and reduced congestion due to fewer vehicles circling for parking. This results in a significant reduction in CO2 emissions – an estimated 20% of congestion is caused by drivers searching for parking.

Benefits

• Greater utilization of parking availability can increase parking revenue by as much as 15% depending on facility - published statistics show that on average 10-15% of the parking spaces in garages are not used.

• Less frustrated customers have more time to spend in retail outlets (restaurants, shopping, etc) – a study in a large California shopping center reported a 2-5% increase in retail sales.
