The future of parking

In an ever-evolving society where technology plays an ever-increasing role, it is no surprise that the parking sector is also experiencing major changes. Parking in the future is not just about finding a spot for your vehicle; it's about creating a smooth, sustainable and smart parking experience. In this post, we explore some exciting trends and innovations that we believe define the future of parking.

In a rapidly changing society, the parking sector is also transforming. The parking of the future is about more than finding a parking space; it should be a smooth, sustainable and smart experience.

Technology, Sustainability and Smart Solutions

The future of parking is full of exciting opportunities and innovations. By combining advanced technology, sustainable solutions and smart systems, the entire parking experience can be made smoother, more convenient and more environmentally friendly. Whether it is avoiding parking stress, reducing CO2 emissions or optimizing the use of space, innovative parking solutions are an important part of societal development.

Smart parking apps

With smartphones in almost every pocket, parking apps have become a staple for motorists. The apps allow users to find available parking spaces in real time, book and pay for them, and receive navigation assistance to their chosen location. This reduces the time spent looking for parking and gives users a smoother and more convenient parking experience. For the parking administrator, it means that less time needs to be spent on physical work when it comes to issuing parking permits and authorization assignment, among other things.

Smart parking apps simplify parking for the user, while reducing administration for the parking manager. This is what the Parkit app looks like.

Charging infrastructure for electric cars

As we strive to decarbonize and shift to more sustainable transport options, electrified and rechargeable vehicles are becoming more common. Integrated charging stations thus play a crucial role in supporting this transition in a seamless way. By integrating EV charging stations, parking facilities provide a convenient and much-needed service to their customers while helping to reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. This integrated charging infrastructure can also act as a positive driver for more people to consider owning an electric car and participate in the creation of a more sustainable future.

Automated payment systems

By integrating advanced technology into the payment process, we can simplify and streamline the way motorists pay for their parking. Instead of hassling with parking meters, physical parking permits and physical tickets, drivers can easily register their arrival when they drive into the parking facility and then pay for their parking when they leave via Swish, SMS, invoice and direct payment, among others. For drivers, this means a convenient and hassle-free payment experience, while for land and property owners it provides more efficient transaction management and the ability to collect and analyze data on parking habits, among other things.

At Parkit we use, among other things, ANPR/LPR, which you can read more about HERE.

ANPR automates parking management by, among other things, reading license plates and monitoring parking times and traffic flows.

Optimization of space and parking flow

Effective parking management can play a crucial role in creating an optimized parking environment and smoother parking flows with smart solutions. Among other things, advanced technologies can monitor the availability of parking spaces in real time and offer drivers information on available spaces via apps or signs. This real-time information allows drivers to quickly find available spaces and avoid unnecessary circulation, which in turn reduces congestion and improves traffic flow. In addition, data analytics can be used to optimize the pricing and design of parking areas to meet demand and make more efficient use of parking spaces.
