TYPICAL COMPONENTS Red and green LED’s show occupied and available spaces Variable message signs throughout car park display real time space availability Management software allows dynamic management of facility INTELLIGENT GUIDANCE SOLUTIONS IMPROVING URBAN MOBILITY
LED lighting • Integrated to vehicle guidance solution • Sustainable energy saving solution • Energy savings 40-60%+ • Engineered life 7 years • Engineered for car park environment • Improved lighting quality • Very low cost of installation and maintenance
LED lighting luminosity and energy saving LUMINOSITY DIAGRAM IN LUX (WHITE ZONE 80 LUX)
FEATURES OF URBAN TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT • % of cars looking for parking • Brooklyn, 2006, 45% of total cars (source Transport Alternatives) • 30% San Francisco (source SF Park) • 18% - 25% European Studies (source ParkHelp) • Average UK resident 6 days a year looking for Parking (source NCP Parking Survey) • Tapiola, Finland, 1992, 20-30% (source Narayan / Ristola)

INFORMATION FOR THE MOTORIST • Traditional Variable Message Signs draw data from disparate sources • Information usually refers to off street spaces • Inaccuracies mean data is flawed • No holistic view of space availability • No dynamic means to control traffic patterns • Limited management information
THE ENFORCEMENT CONUNDRUM • Keeps space turnover • Historically reactive • Process driven not data driven • High cost in labour and infrastructure • Punitive with little return for motorist • Cost of missed tickets • Loss of revenue from unoccupied spaces • Incremental cost of reduced space turnover
ON STREET VEHICLE GUIDANCE • Key Components + = Additional Components • Variable Message Sign • Links to P&D machines • Communication by ethernet or GSM On-Street Sensor Gateway / Information Panel Repeater and / or active Control Centre
ACCURACY / RELIABILITY • Sensors 1 per space or multiple • Fixings • Durability • Wireless • 99.8% accuracy (Sept 2011)
DELIVERABLES • Real time space availability • Management of on street spaces • Improved enforcement • Fraud detection
BENEFITS • Reduced traffic looking for spaces • Dynamic management of traffic flow • Reduced emissions • Improved space turnover • Reduced cost of enforcement • Provides model for dynamic pricing
REPORTING • Real time space availability • Parking space rotations • Average length of stay • Overstays • Comparison between actual and theoretical revenue
SPECIAL SPACES • Accessible spaces • Loading / unloading • Short stay • Taxi • Reserved • MiFare Contactless Card
PARKHELP TRIAL SITES • Marbella 400 spaces • Malaga 100 spaces • Granada 400 spaces • Madrid 400 spaces
THE FUTURE • Full integration with pay machines • Integration with enforcement solutions • Integration of On and Off Street solutions • Holistic view of parking availability • Mobile and web apps to inform driver decisions • Integration with SatNav • Management of traffic informed by space availability • Integration with LPR
