Smart parking is the use of sensors to determine parking occupancy and offer real-time data to drivers to help them find parking faster.

Parking guidance systems gathers data from smart parking sensors to keep track of how many spots are available in a parking lot or facility. They then display dynamic information to drivers on where they can find available parking via signs, apps, or websites.

When you use a parking counting system, also called smart parking, parking guidance, or parking management systems, you enhance the parking experience for drivers and also benefit your bottom line. You reduce the stress of searching by providing real time data on where spots are available. By guiding parkers into your spots, you also maximize your lot usage and increase revenue.

OpenSpace offers a variety of scalable systems and options designed to meet your specific parking management needs. Unlike traditional parking counting systems, many OpenSpace solutions use sensors only at entrance and exit points, significantly lowering costs. Additionally, OpenSpace offers the exclusive ability to customize and finetune your sensor system to align perfectly with your parking lot configuration.

The OpenSpace systems offer unparalleled accuracy with a minimum of 97% accuracy and as high as 99.9% accuracy depending on component choices.

The OpenSpace Magnetometer system includes sensors embedded into speed humps or rubber pods that are installed at the entrances and exits of your parking lots. Data from the sensors is conveyed wirelessly to signs outside your lot as well as apps, web, and our cloud platform.

OpenSpace Lidar uses advanced laser technology to count vehicles at entry and exit points or within defined areas. It offers a minimum 97% accuracy and can distinguish vehicles from pedestrians and tailgating cars, providing real-time data to guide drivers and optimize parking usage.

The OpenSpace AI Camera system uses cloud-based artificial intelligence to monitor parking spaces in real time. It provides detailed utilization data and is ideal for high-value spots like EV charging or ADA spaces. Images can also be verified to confirm count accuracy.

Data from OpenSpace sensors can also be viewed on our OpenSpace Parking App as well as on your own, or third party, apps or website.

Every parking sign can be customized based on your unique needs to display information such as availability on each parking level, information on multiple lots, closest parking lot with availability, or whatever data you’d like drivers to see.

In addition to displaying parking availability data to drivers, you can create detailed reports offering you insight into how and when your parking facility is used. That data can help you make better informed decisions about parking needs, pricing, and demand.

OpenSpace systems do not require construction or lot closures and can be installed in just one day.

While other parking management systems range in maintenance costs from slightly over $1k per year to over $14k per year, OpenSpace requires low-maintenance for years of efficient parking counting.

OpenSpace uses sensor-based data and integrates with variable message signs (VMS), mobile apps, and websites to show drivers where parking is available as they approach or plan their trip.

Yes. OpenSpace offers flexible integration options so you can share real-time availability data through your own app, website, or even third-party applications.

OpenSpace supports VMS signs tailored to your lot layout, along with digital options such as the OpenSpace Parking App, your branded tools, or compatible third-party platforms.

By guiding drivers directly to available spaces, OpenSpace reduces search time, cuts down on traffic buildup, and streamlines overall parking flow.

Yes. OpenSpace is designed to adapt to various lot configurations, ensuring the display and communication tools match your facility’s layout and operational needs.

Yes, our cloud-based platforms allow you to view analytics, generate reports, monitor systems, and configure alerts from any connected device.

These are cloud-based platforms that store and mange parking data, providing real-time insights and tools to help you optimize parking management and enhance space utilization.

Our cloud-based systems provide detailed utilization reports and analytics to help you make data-informed decisions to improve efficiency and optimize lot usage.

All data is stored in the cloud, eliminating the need for on-site IT infrastructure.
