Information
What Is an Automated Parking Guidance System?
An automated parking guidance system is a piece of parking technology that monitors vehicle activity and communicates real-time parking availability to drivers through dynamic signs and displays. By automatically updating parking counts and directional information, these systems help motorists make faster decisions while reducing unnecessary circulation throughout parking facilities.
Whether installed at a parking garage, surface lot, campus, hospital, airport, or municipal facility, an automated parking guidance system improves efficiency by guiding drivers to available parking rather than forcing them to search manually.
Real-time parking information benefits both facility operators and visitors by improving traffic flow, reducing congestion, and creating a more organized parking environment.
How an Automated Parking Guidance System Works
RedStorm continuously monitors vehicle movement using loop detectors or vehicle sensors installed at entrances, exits, and other transition zones.
- A vehicle enters or exits the facility.
- The detection system records the vehicle movement.
- The available parking count updates automatically.
- LED parking guidance signs display the current availability.
- Drivers are directed to available parking with minimal delay.
Because parking counts update automatically, facility operators eliminate manual adjustments while providing drivers with accurate, real-time information throughout the day.
