The German city of Dillingen recently deployed a Nedap wireless parking sensor system to guide visitors to available spots in the parking lot, and to decrease traffic congestion. The system was installed by Nedap partner Cur-Systemtechnik.
In the past, the city had difficulty keeping track of parking spaces available at the main town car park located at an inner courtyard and not visible from the main access road. This resulted in visitors continuously searching for a free space to park their car. This parking lot consists of spaces for public use as well as pre-defined bays for residents and for customers of a local bank.
The city wanted to decrease traffic congestion, to simplify finding a free parking space for visitors and to improve the occupancy rates of the existing parking facility in its city centre.
With the installation of the wireless parking sensor system, real-time guidance signing along the street informs motorists about the number of parking spaces available. Real-time parking information can be used to guide traffic effectively, to improve the utilization of parking capacity and to manage parking enforcement more efficiently.
