Our Goal

Provide a space availability system that is:

– Flexible– Intuitive– Real-time


Solution Technical Objectives

• Establish a sensor array that collects real-time information about space availability

• Calculate ideal zones for parking based on sensor input and optional historical data

• Convey zone recommendations to patrons via display devices

LocatePredictDisplay

Solution Characteristics

1. Patron enters garage

2. System locates empty spaces3. System predicts short-term availability4. System displays top choices on screen

5. Patron is directed to spot and parks
