How do we ensure a smooth parking experience at a train station car park?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Smart Parking\u2019s sensitive, professional and consistent approach to car park management has enabled large train stations to manage this key resource fairly and effectively, particularly at peak times for staff and visitors.<\/p>\n

What environmental issues should be considered?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Train stations often have multiple entries and exits that need to be carefully monitored with modern ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras. With passenger numbers often reaching many thousands per day, there is constant pressure on surrounding car parking facilities.<\/p>\n

What are the problems and challenges we need to address?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The operators of the train station were fully aware of the pressures large volumes of traffic were placing on their car parks. They were in desperate need of a car park solution that would improve traffic flow, reduce queuing at exit, and provide the data analysis they required.<\/p>\n

What solutions were deployed?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Smart Parking introduced state-of-the-art ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras to each of the sites, connected to industry-leading Pay and Display machines. Maximum stay and grace periods were also implemented within certain zones for drop-offs. Mobile patrol officers were deployed for additional support.<\/p>\n
