ParkThere

Primary Feature

In most car-parks, lots located further from the entrance are often severely under-utilised. Our solution, ParkThere, tackles this issue. The primary feature of this Smart Car-park, is a system designed to allocate different pricing per hour of parking for each section of the car-park, assigning lower prices for lots further away from the entrance. The prices of lots within each section are assigned automatically by the specific price algorithm that the management of the buildings choose. The different prices of parking are displayed on a monitor placed above the lots, giving drivers more incentive to park in lots further away from the entrance, making better use of all the lots, and reducing vehicle congestion nearer the entrance.

Secondary Features

ParkThere has secondary features that include a central parking guide that uses sensors and mini-speakers to ensure drivers park their car fully within the lot, and not exceed the allocated space. This ensures that all lots are usable, and prevents decentralised parked cars from occupying more than one lot.

Finally, the same cameras that provide information on the vacancy of each lot, records down the vehicle number, helping users who are leaving easily find their vehicles through a touchscreen system.
