Have you ever wondered how you can monitor your parking areas efficiently and stress-free?

‍

What is parking enforcement - and how does it differ from parking management?

‍

Digital parking space monitoring means that you record and monitor the use of your parking spaces in real time - without barriers, paper tickets or on-site staff. In contrast to parking space management, you do not regulate payment transactions or the tariff structure, but only keep an eye on actual usage . This solution is particularly suitable for retail, healthcare, education or commercial properties - wherever smooth processes and free access are important.

You can find out more about the distinction between parking enforcement and parking management here: Parking space management at Peter Park.

‍

How digital parking space monitoring makes your spaces smarter

‍Withmodern technology, you can control your parking spaces completely digitally - from entry to exit:

‍

  • You make better use of your parking spaces,
  • optimize the parking process,
  • save on personnel and dispense with barriers,
  • keep an eye on every surface in real time,
  • and recognize the workload precisely at all times.

‍

Artificial intelligence helps you to automatically detect and prevent unauthorized parking. This makes your spaces safer and increases availability for authorized users - without any effort in day-to-day business.

‍

What does digital parking space monitoring do?

‍

Digital parking space monitoring checks whether parkers are complying with the rules - for example, a maximum parking time or the obligation to have a parking permit. 

‍

Monitoring fulfills several central tasks:

  • It ensures that only authorized persons park or that the permitted parking time is observed.
  • It keeps third-party parking away and creates more space for actual users.
  • It prevents congestion - especially in areas with high traffic volumes, such as in front of supermarkets or clinics, because parking spaces are less likely to be blocked or misused.

How does parking space monitoring work - and what methods are there?

‍

Parking areas can be monitored in various ways. The methods differ in terms of effort, cost and degree of automation:

‍

‍

‍

The system from Peter Park system provides reliable information on the utilization of your parking spaces in real time. The software automatically detects violations - such as exceeding the permitted parking time or parking without authorization - without the need for on-site staff.

As no barriers, tickets or complex installations are required, the use of hardware is kept to a minimum. This reduces your investment and maintenance costs in the long term.

‍

And data protection? Clearly regulated.

‍PeterPeter Park only records the license plate number on entry and exit. No images of people, drivers or passengers are created. The solution meets all GDPR requirements and therefore offers both operators and users maximum security and transparency.

‍

Data protection at Peter Park: clear, secure and GDPR-compliant

‍

Data protection is a top priority with the digital parking solution from Peter Park digital parking solution - especially when it comes to automatic license plate recognition and processing parking transactions. Our system meets all the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and protects sensitive data with a multi-level security concept:

  • Data economy: Peter Park only stores what is really necessary - for example the license plate number and parking time. Personal data is only recorded if an offense has been committed. In this case, an owner data query is made at the Federal Motor Transport Authority - exclusively for this purpose and in accordance with legal requirements.
  • Encrypted transmission: All data flows between cameras and the cloud in encrypted form. This protects them from unauthorized access.
  • Access only with authorization: A role-based system regulates who can access which data. This allows you to retain full control - and reliably protect your parking users.

‍

Peter Park carries out regular security and system checks to ensure the highest standards of data security. This not only keeps you on the safe side legally, but also strengthens the trust of your customers.

‍

Future trends in parking space management

Parking management is facing exciting changes. New technologies and changing mobility concepts will continue to transform the way we use and manage parking spaces. Here are some future trends that will shape parking management:

  • Integration of electromobility: With the increase in the number of electric vehicles, charging stations are becoming increasingly important. Digital parking systems will also increasingly integrate the management of charging stations so that users can see where available charging stations are located in real time.
  • Smart cities: In urban centers, parking management is increasingly being networked with other intelligent systems. Digital parking space monitoring can become part of a larger smart city network that controls and optimizes all traffic in real time.
  • Parking space analysis and big data: By using big data, parking operators will be able to analyze traffic flows and parking behaviour. This data helps to forecast parking space usage and make strategic decisions to make parking spaces more efficient.
  • Autonomous parking: With the advance of autonomous vehicles, parking systems will also be able to manage autonomously parked cars. This could lead to even more efficient use of parking spaces.

‍

These trends show that the future of parking space management lies not only in automation, but also in the networking and integration of new technologies. Peter Park is already developing solutions today that are tailored to these future requirements and help you to keep pace with the development of mobility.
