Smart Parking: What is Authorised Parking?

What is Authorised Parking? Smart Parking is often asked how this can be achieved and what impact it will have.

Our solutions for good car park management are as follows:

• Authorised parking provides free parking for genuine visitors or staff

The aim of this is:

• To deter unauthorised parking in your car park using good parking control technology that is most suitable to the site and client’s needs

How do we do this? After thoroughly understanding the needs of our client:

• We install ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras to monitor every vehicle that arrives and check if they are approved or not
• Approved vehicles will have their registration number registered with Smart Parking’s ‘Smart Cloud Hub’ software via a pre-approved whitelist
• A whitelist is a list of staff or visitors who regularly use the car park for legitimate reasons

Who benefits from this parking management solution?

• Your valued customers
• Your staff
• You, as the car park owner, because paying customers have a hassle-free parking experience

Which sectors does Smart Parking work with to provide parking management?

• Retail parking solutions
• Residential parking solutions
• Hospital parking solutions
• Hotel parking management
• Medical clinic parking
• Parking system for schools
• All private land that operates a car park and needs help managing this

Since introducing Smart Parking into our business, we have noted a marked decrease in car park misuse. More space availability for our customers has resulted in higher footfall and helped us operationally by passing on the management of our car parks to Smart Parking.
