Digital car park management

Smart parking management helps operators make the most of parking space and enables landlords to tap new revenue streams.

Car park management – a cost factor for companies and car park operators

Inefficient use of parking space is a cost factor in many lines of business.

Operating costs can run high for owners of commercial properties. Some car lots are not as full as they could be because not all spaces are rented out. Most are deserted at night.
Tenants of commercial buildings pay steep rents for parking space, so that investment has to pay off.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, more people will be traveling with their private cars. This means that parking spaces will be in higher demand.
Circling a car park in search of an empty space is a frustrating affair for employees and visitors.
A lack of proper parking management can even cost retailers money when frustrated customers head for the exit to park – and shop – elsewhere.
Retail staff on the sales floor can be better deployed thanks to alerts that are sent automatically when the car park is full.

Digital car park management

Lots fitted with parking sensors or cameras provide accurate insights into space utilization. This provides a solid database for making decisions and managing parking spaces efficiently.

Transparency on utilization

For the first time, landlords and tenants alike can gain insights into actual parking space utilization. This data-driven transparency allows for profound decisions.

Data-driven parking management

Landlords can adjust parking fees based on actual data.

Additional revenue sources for landlords

They can rent out unused parking spaces. And they can find other uses for car parks that are completely empty outside currently occupied hours.

Greater cost efficiency for tenants

A high occupancy rate can prompt tenants to rent additional spaces. Unused parking spaces are an unnecessary cost that tenants can avoid by renting fewer spaces.

Convenience for users

With the benefit of a parking guidance or digital reservation system, employees, visitors, and customers save time looking for a parking space.

Efficient traffic control

Sign technologies and parking guidance systems direct traffic straight to areas where spaces are available and ensure efficient capacity utilization.

Electric vehicle charging points

The parking space reservation system can indicate the location and availability of EV charging points. Motorists entering the car park can also see this information indicated in a display or parking guidance system.

Access control

A camera-based number plate recognition system can serve to control and monitor parking authorization automatically.

Parking sensors or parking cameras – which technology fits best?

Operators can choose among various technologies to meet their digital car park management needs. Existing car parks can be retrofitted with ground sensors and/or cameras. Wireline sensors are an option for new car parks. They may be installed in floors, walls, or ceilings as these facilities are built. Parking cameras often serve to monitor larger parking areas.
