Smart parking is no longer a dream of the future; in cities and communities, this IoT solution is proving its worth in smart cities with different focal points. Especially in big cities, the search traffic for a parking space is a problem. By reducing the search time with a smart parking system, the comfort of the drivers is increased and the fine dust and CO2 emissions are reduced. In urban planning, the data obtained can be used to optimize capacities or even plan new infrastructural projects such as special e-charging station parking spaces. You can choose between several IoT technologies from the LPWAN spectrum.
E-charging station monitoring
Incorrect parking in parking lots with e-charging stations complicates the conversion to general e-mobility, and monitoring is usually lacking. If the status of the charging stations is compared with the data from the parking sensors, you have all the information you need to monitor the occupancy status and visualize it in an app, for example.
-
Detect unauthorized use of e-charging stations
-
Detect unauthorized parking in fire lanes at an early stage
-
Assign an e-charging station directly to users
-
Optimal utilization of e-charging stations
Parking guidance systems and parking space monitoring
For parking monitoring in places with high turnover, such as large shopping centers, airports or parking garages, Smart Parking is a tool to meet today's requirements. Using an app or another solution such as LED displays, you can guide users to the free parking space and avoid congestion near the entrance.
-
Statistical frequency measurement
-
Monitoring of parking space utilization
-
Recording the duration of parking
-
Simple overview of timeouts of the monitored parking space
