In general, Parking Guidance Systems (PGS) are an arrangement of various components which aim to assist the drivers locate the accessible places to park their own vehicles. Commonly, a PGS follows three steps as below:
First step: A wide screen shows the count of available spaces in any floor to the entering drivers/clients.
Second step: At the time the driver/client reaches the main cross point, another screen displays the number of available spaces at the left, right and forward direction.
Third step: By reaching each pass-way, the driver/client can check the LED lights stating the places’ availability via the colors of green implying a free space and red implying a busy or locked space.
Displaying the online count of free spaces in any zone or floor
Displaying spaces' state with a single lot resolution on the software
High-speed screen control in order to the fastest possible vehicle guidance to the free spaces
show the number of entering and departing vehicle on a real-time basis
report statistical data during desired time periods and also on a daily and weekly basis
Direct surveillance and access allocated to the operator to observe the vehicle's status
take the reserved lots into account
calculate the elapsed time of each vehicle in stop, and report it to the control station
dedicate several plate numbers to a single park place to achieve a focused management on each area
In this method, a camera-based guidance system is installed for 3 to 6 parking lots, which is able to recognize license plates and whether the lots are free or busy. This type of instrument is provided in two man models of D3 (a single camera for 3 lots) and D6 (2 cameras for 6 lots).
The sensor is used to sense whether a parking lot is empty or occupied by a vehicle. A sensor is required for any parking lot, installed above the vehicle or on the ground beneath the vehicle.
