Intelligent Parking is a NTCIP based parking management system software. This software allows for agencies and integrators to keep track of the amount of spaces that are available within a parking facility at any given time. Intelligent Parking, like Intelligent NETworks, can be used with any ITS device. Intelligent Parking has found a broad audience from airports, shopping malls, convention centers, and universities.
Integrated with WebDirect, Intelligent Parking can display parking availability on the internet for customers of your lot or deck to know how many spaces are still available. Intelligent Parking will not only help drivers to make smart decisions and create efficient traffic flow, but it will also simplify your parking systems management, resulting in higher revenues and profitability for you and your parking facilities.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Inform
Parking guidance begins a long way from the actual parking space. Motorists are able to view real time information on highway signs approaching the parking facility, on the internet, or through a PDA or cell phone. This allows the motorist to make smart decisions and, if needed, find an alternative parking source. This reduces gridlock and traffic issues associated with traditional parking lots.
Direct
As the motorist gets closer to their destination they can be guided to different lots within the parking facility. Intelligent Parking allows for multiple signs at different locations to display accurate information on exactly how many bays are open in any lot. Motorists are able to make a decision on what lot to park in based on real time information.
Guide
Upon entering a specific parking lot the motorist is given accurate data about how many spaces are available on each level of the facility. With this information the motorist can focus on getting to their chosen level and not driving slow while scanning for a space.
Show
Once the motorist arrives at their chosen level they are shown how many open spaces are available on different aisles. These zone boards are valuable in keeping traffic inside the parking facility flowing. As cars pull in and out of bays on the aisles the zone boards are updated in real time. This ensures maximum usage of the available spaces.
Assist
Through the use of individual parking sensors the motorist can easily navigate the aisle to an open bay. The bay sensors above the space show a green light if the space is available and instantly turn red once the space is occupied. Parking availability data is constantly being transmitting from the sensors to the signs in order to keep the whole system updated with real time information.
Manage
The Intelligent Parking system is managed and controlled by a suite of software developed by Intelligent Devices. The Intelligent Parking software works seamlessly with the network of individual sensors and allows access to the system through a single control center. This unparalleled level of control allows you to view exactly what is happening at every stage of the system.
