Services are ranging from commuters guidance to available spots via mobile application, through management dashboard for parking officers, to reports and statistics to parking managers.
The dashboard is the central application for real-time platform monitoring and supervision of all important parameters and characteristics of the system. This application is also used for administration of the platform. It is collecting the sensor data and managing parking sessions in real-time and provides the parking management service module for different user scenario’s as residents, shoppers, disabled persons, EVs, blue zones limited parking duration, delivery etc. It supports a multi-tenant and is enabled with security mechanisms across the platform. The platform leverages de-facto or open standards (e.g. NGSI, RESTfull, XML, Geojson, json, MQTT, etc’). The platform is designed a high-quality configuration, administration, provisioning, statistics, reporting and operations and maintenance framework is supported.
Parking officers follow up on parking infringements through the steward module on a tablet (connected over city WIFI or SIM card).
Using the mobile app, users can also benefit from parking availability and guidance information through parking guidance displays.
