Influence car park choice to increase revenues

Parking guidance and information signs are used to advertise the availability of spaces in car parks to attract more visitors when spaces are available and prevent needless queuing and improve visitor experience when car parks are full.

A well designed variable message sign system, with information provided at or before the critical decision points for drivers, is proven to:

Influence car park choice to increase revenues
Reduce space search time
Reduce congestion on the local road network
Improve public perception of a car park and the associated destination

Automatic Management of Variable Message Signs

Capture currently connects to a variety or traffic and parking hardware from many leading manufacturers. Modules include:

Vehicle counting equipment (induction loops, radar detectors and video counts)
Queue detectors
Bay by bay monitoring sensors
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)
Car park barriers and automatic bollards
Lane management signs
Event management signs
Car park tariff displays
Variable message signs
3rd party sensors and data through RESTful API

Powerful Automation

Capture utilises the power of the internet to enable the customer to control traffic and parking assets via the web from any internet connected device including mobile phones.

One of Capture’s main features is its ability to drive Variable Message Signs automatically. Configuration is simple through Capture’s Rules Engine. Signs can be overridden quickly and simply.

Right now the technology is being used at various high profile sites to manage vehicle flow - including airports, city centre car parks, shopping centres national infrastructure sites.

The connected ecosystem

Ubiquitous network coverage and scalable cloud computing have created the platform for the Internet of Things (IoT). Organisations are now able to monitor, control, optimise and automate in ways that were previously unimaginable.

Many organisations are asking how they can use IoT to create new sources of value.

Some are using it to deliver new operational efficiencies, to monitor assets in real-time, to provide analytics that help teams make better decisions, and to automate repetitive and predictable processes.

Smart Cities

With urban centres becoming more crowded and citizens leading increasingly technology led lives, the need to make cities smarter is clear. Many towns and cities are starting their IoT strategy learning about available products and services to solve problems for the future for their citizens.

Our expertise gives us a deep understanding of these areas and how to apply them to your business, building or city.
