To protect ourselves and our surroundings during the pandemic, caution is currently the highest priority. We try to avoid touching doorknobs, railings and buttons in public spaces, as these are potential sources of viruses. Even if thorough hand washing and disinfection has become part of our daily routine, the fewer surfaces we have to touch, the lower the risk of infection.


Comprehensive hygiene concepts are being introduced at workplaces and in public spaces to minimize the risk of infection.
The traditional parking process of buying a parking ticket at a barrier and then paying at a parking machine is once again being called into question in times of corona. After the number of infections rose rapidly in Germany, many cities decided to temporarily deactivate on-street parking machines, for example, and offer free parking. This was intended to reduce the risk of infection caused by using the machines. Authorities also recommend reducing the time spent in parking lots in order to limit the number of possible contacts.


In parking garages or large parking lots, a barrier system or personnel patrols usually ensure payment of parking fees. Peter Park enables barrier-free parking without the need for personnel. With our intelligent parking system, parking authorizations are checked via data protection-compliant license plate recognition. The changeover to such a system is possible within one day. Neither expensive hardware nor special software knowledge is required. In addition, a parking app familiar from the on-street sector can be quickly and easily integrated into the complete solution from Peter Park . There is no need for RFID cards or other identification options. Manual monitoring of cars by staff is also no longer necessary. Parking offenders can still be identified automatically 24/7 with the technology from Peter Park . The barrier-free entry and exit enables a continuous flow of traffic and thus contributes to an equalization of the traffic flow.
The contactless parking process ensures a safe customer experience without sacrificing revenue.

Frequently asked questions about parking space monitoring

What is digital parking space monitoring?

Digital parking space monitoring is a technology that makes it possible to automatically monitor and manage parking spaces. Systems such as license plate recognition and real-time data analysis are used to check parking duration, detect violations and monitor parking space utilization in real time - without any manual intervention.

What are the advantages of digital parking space monitoring?

Increased efficiency: Automatic monitoring reduces administrative effort.

Cost reduction: Low hardware usage and minimal maintenance reduce operating and investment costs.

Betterparking space utilization: Real-time monitoring ensures that parking spaces are available for the right users.

Ease of use: Easy parking for your users without manual barriers or tickets.

Data protection: Our solutions are GDPR-compliant and ensure secure data storage.

How does license plate recognition work?

License plate recognition scans the license plates of vehicles entering or leaving a parking space. The system records the parking time and checks whether the parking regulations are being adhered to. Violations such as exceeding the parking time or missing parking fees are automatically detected and processed accordingly.

Is digital parking space monitoring secure and compliant with data protection regulations?

Yes, our systems are GDPR-compliant and meet all legal requirements for the protection of privacy. The data collected is processed in compliance with data protection regulations and only the information necessary to monitor the parking process is stored.

What types of parking areas can I monitor with the digital solution?

Our solution is suitable for all types of parking areas, both indoors and outdoors. It can be used in shopping centers, airports, hotels, health centers, swimming lakes, beaches and mountain railroads. Digital parking surveillance is scalable and customizable to meet the requirements of any parking area.

How do my customers benefit from digital parking space monitoring?

With digital parking space monitoring, your customers benefit from a stress-free parking experience. They no longer have to search for a parking space or worry about parking tickets. Our real-time data ensures that parking spaces are always used optimally, and automated parking time control ensures that third-party parkers are kept away.

Can digital parking space monitoring be integrated with other systems?

Yes, our solutions can be easily integrated with other systems and parking apps to further improve the user experience. We offer flexible integrations that make it possible to connect different systems such as online payment or charging stations for electric vehicles.

Are foreign licence plates also recognised?

Yes. Number plates from all European countries can be recorded.

Do drivers have to slow down when entering?

No. Drivers only have to comply with the speed limits of the applicable road traffic regulations.

How does number plate recognition work?

The license plate of a vehicle is automatically recognized when entering and exiting. There is no permanent video recording. Only when a license plate number is recognized is a one-off recording of the license plate area made in compliance with data protection regulations.

How does the system behave in rain or snow?

The license plate scanner is equipped with a weather protection and heating element and is designed for all weather conditions.

Does the number plate recognition also work in the dark?

Yes, license plate recognition works in the dark with the help of additional infrared lighting.

Where can Peter Park be used?

The solution is suitable for all clearly defined parking areas away from public roads. The technology can be used both indoors and outdoors. For example, outdoor parking spaces, parking garages or underground garages.

Who is responsible for data protection?

Peter Park is responsible for the data protection-compliant operation of the parking system.

Does the registration of licence plates have to be reported to the respective data protection authority?

No, you do not have to report the number plate recognition to the data protection authority.

Is number plate recognition allowed in Germany?

Yes, in compliance with the applicable GDPR.
