5 Benefits of Smart Parking Solutions
While the components of a “smart city” differ wildly from source to source, it is universally accepted that advanced technology in parking and mobility will be key to the success of any smart city implementation. Thanks to the scalable and efficient nature of many smart parking solutions, many of tomorrow’s future technologies are being implemented today as a low-barrier step to executing a smart city master plan. Cities that want to begin the process of brining smart city benefits to their residents but are not ready in some of the other areas of energy, water, buildings, health, or other city services have found that starting with parking can have major positive impacts with smaller time and money investments. What are the primary advantages in implementing smart city parking solutions?
According to technology company Conure, here are the top five benefits of smart parking solutions for drivers:
1Consumption of Less Fuel. In the urban regions where smart parking solutions are incorporated, drivers are guided straight to the empty parking spots. This eliminates the need for extra driving to find empty parking spots, wasting less fuel over time.
2Cost and Time Efficient Solution. When drivers enter a congested parking area, they often spend several minutes in search of a parking spot. This ultimately wastes their time and their fuel, costing them money. Drivers pulling directly into a technology-directed open spot will save time and money.
3Minimize the Personal Carbon Footprint. Smart parking reduces carbon emissions from vehicles by decreasing the congestion and mobility of the vehicles in search of parking. When smart parking solutions are integrated into the urban areas the individual environmental footprint, especially the release of carbon dioxide, is ultimately reduced.
4Reduce Parking Stress. Oftentimes people avoid going to congested areas, as they do not want a parking hassle that creates stress and anxiety. Knowing that you will be spending significant time in search of parking but could still end up parking in a space far away from the destination is extremely discouraging. Furthermore, driving around the same street again and again and still not finding a space to park a car is frustrating. Smart parking solutions remove many of these stressful factors. By alerting parkers to available spots, parking technology reduces the unpredictability and stress associated parking.
5Reduce Search Traffic on Streets. Nearly 10% of the traffic in the urban areas is created by the parking search. Smart parking solutions enable municipalities to manage and reduce parking search traffic on the streets. Smart parking technologies reduce the number of cars circling around the streets for finding a parking spots, ultimately smoothening the traffic flow and minimizing search traffic on streets.
