Barrier-free parking

How to successfully set up a parking lot scenario to get reliable utilization data.

Do you have a parking lot where you simply want to know the occupancy rate by counting entries and exits? Our technology offers the perfect solution to achieve this in a simple way. See for yourself:

What data can be generated?

For this use case, our software provides you with all the relevant information for your count based on entries and exits. It records the number of vehicles in your parking lot as well as the number of vehicles entering and leaving your parking lot. The whole thing can be configured for user-defined time periods.

The vehicles are recognized based on our defined classes. Please note that the following configuration is optimized for the detection of vehicles and not for people and bicycles.

What needs to be considered for a successful analysis?
