How Fast Can You Institute Smart Parking?
Managing parking involves a lot of variables. You may have multiple lots or levels available. Drivers come and go at
different hours. And often some parking spots remain underutilized while other areas consistently draw drivers despite their being full. Drivers end up frustrated and disgruntled and your driving resources aren’t being well managed or utilized.
How can you help everyone find parking fast? And how complicated does it have to be?
Smart Parking Guidance
Parking guidance systems that let people know how many spots are available are growing in popularity. Medical centers, malls, universities, and cities across the country are using them to help doctors, staff, and patients find parking faster. But most of them require wiring, digging, and lot closures in the process.
Closing busy parking lots is never a simple task. But in a busy setting where drivers depend on your parking spots, it’s an even more difficult proposition. Diverting cars to different parking areas for days at a time can wreak havoc on the smooth daily functioning of countless people. But with OpenSpace, there’s a simpler way.
Just One Morning
OpenSpace, unlike traditional parking guidance systems, doesn’t involve any wiring or digging. It’s a wireless, plug-n-play solution that’s ready to use right out of the box. Sensors are installed in speed humps that you place at entry and exit points. Data on parking availability is sent from the sensor right to variable message signs.
The signs show drivers real-time data on how many spots are available. And drivers can make smarter decisions about when to look for parking, and when to simply drive to another lot. And best of all, the simple, intuitive system can be up and running in just one morning with no need to close your parking lots down!
Sharing Smart Parking Data
Wondering if there are any other ways you can share data with drivers headed to your parking lots? In addition to customizable signs you can place strategically at your entrance and outside each lot, there are more ways to share parking availability data. Choose if you’d like to share the data right on your website or push data right to parking apps using our API integration. Give your drivers the ability to see the parking status of each lot before they even head out.
With OpenSpace, parking can be a whole lot simpler and more profitable. Ready to learn more? Fill out the form on the right and a parking expert will answer any questions you may have.
