Smarter Parking for Parramatta: Council Upgrades Car Parks with Park Agility
The car park refresh program from City of Parramatta Council included improved aesthetics at their Justice Precinct, Parramatta Station and Eat Street car parks, as well as wayfinding information signage and a transition to a cashless payment system. Having already worked with Council on the Parramatta Aquatic Centre parking facility; Park Agility were delighted to assist with this upgrade project.
A Smart Design for Seamless Flow
The three multi-level car parks across the city are mainly designed in a circular fashion where all parking bays are located on both sides of the main aisle, with no secondary aisles to be navigated. This simple ‘enter, circulate and exit using a ramp to the next level’ car park design lends itself to a cost-effective level counting solution, with Park Agility’s Zone Counting solution (Laser Technology) being installed on each UP & DOWN ramp.
Real-Time Parking Guidance
Park Agility’s SenseIQ Management system can then send the data of how many cars have entered, stayed or exited each level, to provide an accurate count of available parking bays per level in real time. An LED sign has been installed at the entry points of each car park, advising drivers on the number of available bays, so they can immediately see which level to head to for a parking spot. This valuable occupancy information helps drivers make quick parking decisions saving time to park and reducing congestion as the need for vehicles to slow to a crawl while searching for a spot is minimised.
Specialised Parking Made Simple
In addition, individual bay parking guidance sensors have been installed for speciality parking category bays such as Accessible (DDA Bays) Electric Vehicle charging (EV Bays). By also indicating the availability of these bays on the internal wayfinding signage, drivers can easily see the level they are located on and how many are available.
Reducing Congestion and Improving Experience
City of Parramatta Council are delighted with Park Agility’s parking guidance solution enabling them to achieve their goal of delivering a faster, more seamless parking experience for businesspeople, commuters, diners and football fans.
