Cardiff City Council<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

With over 64,000 commuters driving in to the city centre each day, Cardiff Council invested in a smart city parking and guidance system.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Driving factors<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Lack of detailed data around the use of\u00a0parking resources<\/li>\n
  • Using Cardiff\u2019s parking asset rather than\u00a0private car parks<\/li>\n
  • Concerns with air pollution in the city centre<\/li>\n
  • Reducing time commuters would spend on\u00a0city roads, and alleviating motorist frustration<\/li>\n
  • The promotion of multi-modal forms\u00a0of transport<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Outcome<\/h4>\n

    Motorists now have the \u2018Park Cardiff\u2019 bi-lingual app that allows them to check for travel times and parking availability, as well as promoting Park & Ride services as part of Cardiff\u2019s multi-modal transport integration.<\/p>\n

    Council officers can also use the SmartCloud management platform to view live parking events and generate detailed reporting for better insights into parking behaviour.<\/p>\n

    Marlow (Buckinghamshire County Council)<\/h2>\n

    \"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

    170 bay sensors – Enforcement of limited waiting bays & visibility of use and abuse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Driving factors<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • Significant vehicle overstays in limited waiting bays<\/li>\n
    • Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs) wasting time\u00a0by having to loiter to monitor overstays<\/li>\n
    • Buckingham County Council were reluctant to\u00a0turn to paid parking to alleviate the situation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Outcome<\/h4>\n

      The enforcement efficiency gains have been immediate, as CEOs are alerted to all overstaying vehicles in real-time. Sensor arrival messages are used as the first observation which allows for immediate enforcement by the CEO on arrival to the area. The SmartCloud dashboard allows the Council to view the site in real-time, and understand and report on contravention, occupancy, turnover rates and more.<\/p>\n

      Royal Borough of Greenwich<\/h2>\n

      \"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

      100 bay sensors \u2013 EV, Disabled & Coach Bays<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Driving factors<\/h4>\n
        \n
      • High parking pressure around the University & National Maritime Museum<\/li>\n
      • Bays reserved for electric vehicles being used\u00a0 for general parking<\/li>\n
      • Tourist coaches using the area each day were difficult to monitor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Solution<\/h4>\n

        The Council is now able to compare charge time with bay occupancy in the EV bays, which is key for turnover and fair use. Coach parking has become more regulated, and the Council now have a better idea on how spaces are being used.<\/p>\n

        All parking information is made available via the SmartCloud management platform, and this in turn integrates with the Borough\u2019s smart city Urban Sharing Platform.<\/p>\n

        Leasing options<\/h3>\n

        Smart Parking also offer a range of car park leasing options, ideal for Councils looking to realise the full revenue potential of their parking estate. We are dedicated to forging long-term partnerships with Councils, offering flexible leasing options to enable continuous development.<\/p>\n

        We appreciate the unique complexities of each and every car park and use a blend of the latest parking payment technology, space management innovation and ethical enforcement to put positive parking experience at the forefront.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
