ParkHelp’s Indoor Parking Guidance System is currently being installed in Mega Mall, the biggest shopping mall in Armenia, as they were looking for a reliable solution. We will soon provide you with a complete case study and pictures of the system, the initial difficulty and how the problem was solved effectively.
Integration with payment systems, find-your-car functions, even direct to-driver communication is possible nowadays, but even though the parking guidance systems can do incredible things, we shall not forget that the most important function of them all is the detection accuracy. Because no system will tell you where to find your car if it doesn’t detect it correctly first.
The most accurate parking guidance system
ParkHelp’s ultrasonic sensors have an incredibly high detection accuracy of 99.9% and will assure a quick guidance to free parking spots and provide a complete parking experience to all users of parking lots like the one in Mega Mall Armenia.
It might not be as impressive as a camera-based system, but most of the times an ultrasonic guidance system is more than enough to keep your parking lot covered and your customers happy. Just have a look at this post about Customer experience in parking lots and see how easy it is to help your customers have a fantastic shopping experience.
Unfortunately, many camera-based parking guidance systems, even looking spectacular and offering features non-camera-based systems can’t compete with, aren’t providing enough reliability. An accuracy rate of 97% seems quite a lot, but when you translate this into parking spaces, it means that 3 out of a hundred parking spaces will give false positives or negatives, meaning that the system will either detect them as occupied when they are free, or, what’s even worse, vice versa.
With ParkHelp’s Standard Indoor PGS, you can be sure that these 3 free spaces really exist
What if it’s not a small parking lot? What if you have 400 spaces, like the Mega Mall in Armenia, and risk getting 12 false indications? At peak hours, this might be a real problem, when the customer is searching for one of the last free spaces available and finds that there is none.
