More and more often, we hear that managing parking spaces in residential neighborhoods in large cities like Warsaw is becoming a growing challenge. Here are some key problems related to neighborhood parking management that we have encountered, along with our proposed solutions.
Uncontrolled Guest Entry
In many neighborhoods, security guards often allow entry to everyone without any verification. This opens the door to unauthorized individuals who can freely park within the neighborhood. Available technology today offers an innovative guest entry reservation system, allowing precise control over who can enter the neighborhood and when. This eliminates unauthorized access and security-related risks.
Copied Gate Remotes
Copying gate remote controls is another issue residents of neighborhoods face. This can lead to parking chaos when unauthorized vehicles use spaces designated for residents. Innovative systems introduce modern solutions, eliminating the need for traditional gate remotes. With a mobile app or license plate recognition (LPR/ANPR) technology, gate and barrier control becomes safe and convenient, while the risk of remote control copying disappears.
Lack of Control over Parking Spaces
Improper use of parking spaces is another problem. Unauthorized long-term parking in spots intended for residents leads to frustration and lack of availability for legitimate users. There are companies in the market that offer parking space reservation systems, allowing for the management of availability and control over spaces. Residents can reserve parking spots, avoiding conflicts and ensuring that parking is available to those who need it. Additionally, the system can be integrated with smart locks for individual parking spaces, offered, for example, by Parklio. Such locks can be battery-powered (with a lifespan of 6 to 12 months) and communicate through a secure cloud with a mobile app, enabling the opening of locks or payment collection.
Billing for Guest Parking
Often, neighborhoods struggle with transparent billing for guest parking. There are companies on the market, such as ParkCash, that provide tools for fair and efficient billing for guest parking on shared parking lots. The system automatically records parking time and collects fees from users. At the beginning of each month, the housing cooperative gains additional revenue from a paid and organized parking zone.
Expectations for Innovations
Residents of neighborhoods are paying increasingly more for the purchase or use of parking spaces, so they expect modern solutions. Many companies offer innovative technologies that elevate the standards of neighborhood parking management. With mobile apps, online reservations, and flexible payment options, such solutions meet the expectations of residents, providing convenience and security.
In summary, managing parking spaces in residential neighborhoods can be a challenging task, but modern solutions are available to address these problems. Thanks to technology and innovation, residents can enjoy easier access to parking spaces and a greater sense of control over them.
