Parking Management for Student Housing
Parking can be a stressful endeavor depending on the location and time. When dealing with highly populated areas, traffic can be a beast to navigate let alone finding a suitable parking space. What if one had to find parking not only for work or school, but also for their place of residence? This is a common thing in urban areas and even more so in areas with a college or university.
These areas that are for residential parking only, need to have some form of organization and control over who can and cannot use the spaces. This requires some kind of registration process with permitting. In the past this needed to have a parking enforcer drive and walk the lots checking cars for stickers or placards. Students needed to also register with campus to get permission to park in these areas. Today thanks to modern technology, a student can do all of this remotely so that they can have access to a parking lot based on certain parameters. This can be either for short term or long term parking.
Smart or Digital Parking
Digital parking systems allow for the use of equipment and tools to automate the parking area. The overall level of automation depends solely on the space, traffic, purpose, budget, and current and future goals. The cloud-based system has an open communication network with the equipment installed in order to provide automation. This equipment includes, but is not limited to cameras, sensors, license plate readers, lighting, signs, and use of towing enforcement services.
Most importantly for student parking, these systems can monitor parked cars and assess if they need to have a fee charged or be ticketed for either being too long in the space or being in direct violation for parking in a non permitted space. This communicated directly with parking enforcers and the owner of the vehicle.
Smart Parking for the College Campus Residential Areas
For residential areas, students are parking for the long term and will also inevitably have guests over from time to time. In order to monitor this, parking software can be used to ensure proper usage of the spaces.
These benefits of ParkingBadge software include parking management through tracking, new user registrations, parking permitting, controlling who comes in and leaves a parking area, designating parking areas for specific needs, towing enforcement, and surveillance, as well as tons of other features.
