PARKING GUIDANCE VMS

As the urban population and the use of vehicles grows, the utilization of space in cities is getting more and more difficult. Therefore, it is important to make sure that available parking areas are utilized in the best possible way. 

SWARCO is able to provide clear signage to the nearest car park and information on the number of available parking spaces on-street and off-street as well as space counting detection which are key to reducing search time for vacant spaces, reducing traffic volumes and emissions. Being quickly directed to the next vacant parking space creates a smoother and more enjoyable journey for the traveller. Signage products available include full colour variable message displays that can display car park names, spaces and logo's to simple static signs with fixed appropriate messages such as 'spaces' or 'full'.

SWARCO has implemented major city-wide parking guidance systems across the world. Including many cities in the UK such as Bedford, Liverpool, Hertfordshire, and Dorset as well as shopping centres in the UK such as Westfield in London and the Trafford Centre in Manchester.

Counting and detection:

The effectiveness of a parking guidance system is dependent on the accuracy of the data input. SWARCO offers the most suitable vehicle counting and detection technology depending on the site conditions, traffic behaviour, and other environmental factors. Accurate count information is vital to accurate guidance, SWARCO can accurately count car park entrances and exits of all car park layouts and we even offer individual bay monitoring and guidance. 

MyCity Parking Guidance System

MyCity allows all your electronic signs, count equipment and barriers to be monitored from a single central system. With an easy-to-use interface and access via a web browser.

Routing and re-routing traffic is important to maintain a seamless traffic flow. Guide road users to available parking spaces via APP or show parking information on VMS across the city.

Dynamic parking guidance systems reduce traffic searching for parking spaces and effectively use the entire available public parking space.

Traffic and parking management, road traffic and search traffic can all be optimised in an environmentally sensitive way, which can reduce pollutants, emissions and traffic noise. As a consequence, air quality improves and road users arrive faster and with less stress.
