EDITORIAL Stefan Sadleder Dear reader, What an exciting event this year’s Intertraffic in Amster- dam was! The role of the parking sector is undergoing a profound metamorphosis, aligning itself as a corner- stone of the smart mobility transition. Our efforts extend beyond traditional parking operations; we are now inte- grating cutting-edge technologies and services to en- hance the overall customer experience. This includes the incorporation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, which are pivotal in supporting the shift towards envi- ronmentally sustainable transport options. Furthermore, the development of sustainable mobili- ty hubs represents a significant stride towards optimiz- ing urban space. These hubs are envisioned as key urban locations where individuals can access diverse shared transportation modes including e-bikes, scooters, and other micromobility solutions. Such initiatives not only alleviate urban congestion but also contribute to a re- duction in environmental impact, fostering healthier cities. At EPA, we are committed to leading the charge in transforming parking from a mere utility to a dynamic mobility service and platform. This transition is essential as we adapt to evolving transportation needs and strive to meet global sustainability targets. By facilitating easi- er access to multimodal transport options, we are ensur- ing that parking infrastructure can serve as a vital com- ponent in the mobility ecosystem. Our engagement at forums like Intertraffic Amster- dam allows us to collaborate with global leaders and in- novators, ensuring that our initiatives are both impactful and aligned with international best practices. This visi- bility was also evident during the panel discussion fea- turing four CEOs of Europe’s leading parking operators, along with representatives from the cities of Amsterdam and Lille. The role of carparks and operators must be- come much more visible to city politicians and adminis- trators. It is through these collaborations that we can continue to drive forward the agenda of sustainable ur- ban development. As we look to the future, our focus is clear: to leverage our expertise and resources to foster the development of integrated, technology-driven transportation solutions. These efforts are not just about enhancing the function- ality of parking facilities but are aimed at enriching the quality of urban life itself. This year's Intertraffic was also a pivotal point for EPA. The message and mission are set, and many tasks are on the list. Important working groups had their first ses- sions. Above all, I am delighted that the new team is fully operational! With Tom Antonissen, Melina Keinemann, Vicky Orfanaki, Pauline Caublot, and our most recent joiner, Yasmin Jefferies, who will lead the membership campaign, EPA has successfully navigated through the transformation process. We, the members of the Board, will be delighted to support and guide. I’m looking forward to seeing the success! One last word as a call to action to our existing mem- bers: You should have already received your application forms to join the “new” association1. Please send them in and show your support! We will appreciate your commit- ment!

LEAD STORY Free-flow parking A dream becomes a reality What seemed like a dream only 5 years ago is increasingly becoming a reality: ticketless and barrier-free parking are big trends in today’s parking world. Europe’s leading and most innovative operators are pushing ahead with the necessary technologies and installing intelligent camera systems at the entrances and exits to their car parks. I t is easy to find best practices for free- flow parking in European cities. We are regularly writing about them in Parking trend international. Here are some of the lat- est examples. Licence plate recognition planned for all car parks of Interparking Speaking with Nicolas Godon, the Marketing & Communication Manager at Interparking, a prominent parking operator in Europe, he expressed a clear commitment to ticketless licence plate parking. He stated, “At Interparking, we are implementing recognition (LPR) technology in all the car parks we con- trol across Europe (depending on the rights we have on the car park). This investment is made to streamline the parking process and enhance customer convenience”. Interparking uses LPR in different ways. When we first used this technology, we of- fered it to season parkers with a subscrip- tion. We linked LPR technology to our Pcard+ system, which has over 1M users. This allows them to add a licence plate number to their Pcard account and update it themselves, re- ducing the need for the physical RFID Pcard in the car and speeding up the process at barriers. Their mobile application, the Pcard app, also relies on this system. “LPR is also used in many car parks for fast exit with tick- et parkers”, Godon adds. However, RFID for Pcard+ and QR code is also used as a backup in the Pcard app. When asked about the experiences with LPR technology, Godon replied, “The relia- > Parking trend international | no. 2-2024 17

LEAD STORY k c e b d o G © l in Germany tend to favour the classic park- ing process. They have yet to become accus- tomed to ANPR without a barrier across the board. This is why Goldbeck generally dis- penses with the ticket first and then the bar- rier. The experiences with ANPR are all posi- tive. “We have also noticed a very high rec- ognition rate for the licence plates of short- term parkers,” says Goldbeck. Future-oriented parking in Bamberg’s city center In January, APCOA welcomed a new location to its German portfolio where the operator is fully committed to digital parking: the Maxi- miliansplatz car park in Bamberg. A ticket- less LPR system has been installed. Upon entry, the licence plate is automatically re- corded and the parking process is started. At the pay station, customers only need to en- ter their licence plate number and pay – with or without cash. Users of the APCOA FLOW app can also pay directly via the app. The driver's side window also remains closed when exiting the vehicle. LPR recog- nises the plates and the barrier opens auto- matically. APCOA says: “We are convinced that contactless entry and exit without the push of a button will be the future of parking”. Parking trend international | no. 2-2024 Faster, easier, and sustainable at Leisurelands Leisurelands, which manages 19 recreation areas in Gelderland, the Netherlands, has awarded the tender for a new parking sys- tem to WPS. The paperless parking solution, based on LPR, offers a number of benefits for both Leisurelands and its visitors. The pilot implementation will start at the Mookerplas and Zeumeren sites and, if successful, may be extended to the other 17 sites. “We were looking for a modern and sus- tainable parking system that would be quick and easy for our visitors to use,” says Hans Huisman, Operations Manager at Lei- surelands. “The new system from WPS is based on licence plate recognition and is completely paperless. This ensures a smoother flow of traffic at the entrance and exit and eliminates the need for cash or parking tickets”. In addition to the benefits for visitors, the system offers many advantages for Leisure- lands. WPS implements a fully integrated system with web-based access and remotely controlled cameras. This allows for remote management, improving efficiency.

n n a m h c a B & t d e h c S © i LEAD STORY Interview Camera-based ticketless parking – just a vision? Stadtentwicklungsgesellschaft Siegburg mbH is one of the first German operators to implement the concept of ‘digital, cashless and free-flow parking’ together with Scheidt & Bachmann Parking Solu- tions Germany. Interview about a success story with Lars van Doorn, project manager for barrier-free parking. SEG has completely converted its parking garages to barrier-free and ticketless parking. What was the intention behind the project? Lars van Doorn: We want to offer our cus- tomers a relaxed and convenient parking ex- perience. We had often noticed that the en- try and exit process in the parking garage caused problems, such as how do I get my parking ticket if I cannot reach the ticket dis- penser? We want to support a smooth flow of traffic. Networking our parking garages was also important to us. The systems come together in our permanently manned con- trol centre. This means we can offer our cus- tomers a contact person around the clock. We can easily activate authorizations for ad- ditional parking garages for long-term park- ers. We were also one of the first local au- thorities to switch to a completely cashless payment system. As well as saving the costs associated with paper tickets, cash handling is now a thing of the past. How has the new system been received by drivers? Lars van Doorn: As with any new system, there was a learning process. Customers were very quickly enthusiastic about the new convenience of no longer having to take a parking ticket. Traffic jams at the entrances and exits have been reduced considerably. No longer having to issue a parking ticket al- so means that it can no longer be lost. Our customers should therefore only need to know their license plate number. Working hand in hand to digitize parking in Siegburg: Lars van Doorn (right) and Eyüp Tasyapan, Senior Sales Manager Scheidt & Bachmann Parking Solutions Germany So, license plate recognition for ticketless parking is accepted by your customers? Lars van Doorn: Yes, exactly. The license plate is the new parking ticket. When entering the parking garage, it is captured by the camera. At the same time, the license plate number is dis- played on the large welcome screens. For us, this is where communication with our custom- ers begins. To pay for the parking time, the li- cense plate number is then entered at the pay machine and cashless payment can be made – with debit or credit cards as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay. At the exit, the camera recog- nizes the license plate again and the parking process is completed. The payment status is shown on the customer display at the exit. We also offer the option of paying for the parking time up to 48 hours after the exit. In addition to paying at the pay station, you also offer other payment services. Lars van Doorn: If you don’t want to queue at a pay station, you can pay for your parking time using your smartphone or computer. You can pay online via a link on our website using entervo smart web pay. This integration means that a separate payment app is no longer necessary. Registered users of the mo- bility providers EasyPark and Mercedes.me are offered even more convenience. Thanks to license plate recognition, the parking pro- cess, including payment, is fully automated. Are there any questions from your cus- tomers regarding the recording and stor- age of license plates, i.e. data protection? Lars van Doorn: The cameras are set so that only the license plate number is recorded. No pictures of people are taken, and the parking process is anonymous. The license plate data is deleted after payment and exit in accordance with the posted privacy poli- cy. Your short-term parkers enter and exit without a ticket and pay 100 per cent cashless. How can interested parties rent a long-term parking space? Lars van Doorn: Here too, Scheidt & Bach- mann Parking Solutions has provided us with an attractive web store. It is easy to book a parking space contract via our web- site. The customer selects the parking ga- rage and the available tariff and can manage their own customer data, such as contact details, license plate number and payment information, in their personal customer ac- count. Here again, the license plate number is the “permanent parking card”. Up to three license plates can be stored. For us as the operator, this eliminates the administrative work and the dispatch of the access medi- um. This saves us time and money. That all sounds like a success story. Lars van Doorn: We are very satisfied with the overall package for digital parking. We offer our customers an attractive parking ex- perience. And by offering ticketless parking, we are making a contribution to sustainabil- ity and environmental protection. We save up to 50,000 paper tickets per month. ■ Parking trend international | no. 2-2024 21

EPA NEWS “A city without mobility “There’s no one size fits all would die. Off-street parking is solution. My wish: less part of the future. So, there is ideology, more facts, and not a symbiosis between us considering the others as and cities.” enemies.” Philippe Op de Beeck, CEO APCOA Frank De Moor, CEO Q-Park In Copenhagen, the main objective was to reduce on-street parking by 80 to 90 percent and thus create more space in the medieval city centre. This was achieved by transfer- ring 750 on-street parking spaces to multi- storey car parks. In addition, space was rent- ed in garages for residents' parking spaces. Johannes Mark summarised: “Data changes the way of policy making”. c i f f a r t r e t n I © Skidata: The immense opportunities of AIoT Thomas Pühringer, Senior Director – Head of Solution Portfolio Management at Skidata, explained at the beginning of his presenta- tion: “By combining the power of AI and IoT, we can create intelligent systems that opti- mize processes”. He called this combination AIoT, which "will revolutionise the way we move and park in our cities". With smart VEXPAN Vice-President (and EPA Board member) Peter Dingemans spoke on behalf of the Dutch parking association. to create a balance between parking supply and demand – with the aim of making cities more liveable. Johannes Mark used two ex- amples to show how this can be achieved. In order to utilise the available parking spaces in the German city of Heidelberg more efficiently, EasyPark is pursuing a data-based approach there. This makes the problem of parking pressure visible and gives the author- ities the basis for the right measures to achieve an average utilisation rate of 80 per- cent of parking spaces throughout the city. “We concentrate on intermodality and electrification. I don’t believe it’s possible to charge all EVs on-street.” Roland Cracco, CEO Interparking parking solutions, we can determine the availability of parking spaces in real time, optimise space usage and predict parking demand. With AIoT, we can also improve the user experience of parking and mobility through intuitive mobile applications, seam- less payment systems and personalised trav- el recommendations. Pühringer cited several practical exam- ples of AI in the area of parking and mobility, including: Number plate cameras and AI al- gorithms that automate the entry and exit of car parks and facilitate automatic payment, or AI to analyse parking demand and dy- namically adjust prices in order to optimise revenue and parking space utilization. According to Pühringer, autonomous driving and parking is on the horizon in the next few years. The technology is based on the real-time evaluation of camera data and the remote control of vehicles. Smart cam- eras plus AI is one example of AIoT that ena- bles so-called V2X communication. AIoT can optimise the performance of autonomous vehicles by integrating AI functions with IoT sensors and connectivity. AI algorithms can analyse real-time data from vehicle sen- sors, traffic cameras and infrastructure to improve navigation, decision-making and safety. This is the already existing precursor to Automated Valet Parking (AVP).

EPA NEWS recommendations as to how data privacy principles should be applied to parking. A set of draft guidelines are being developed with input from a number of members of the D&D WG. The goal is to help EPA’s members and the wider parking community achieve compliance with GDPR and other local data privacy laws and regulations. Alliance for Parking Data Standards (APDS) APDS is now the reference standard for park- ing data within our industry, we are working to ensure that it is recognised as such by the EC and by the stakeholder communities, ITS, EV charging, last mile logistics, public trans- port, etc. The D&D WG will continue actions to promote the APDS standard (“DATEX II” CEN TS 16157-6:2022 / ISO TS 5206-1:2023) as the global standard for parking data shar- ing and to facilitate uptake by all operators, starting with the biggest ones. D&D WG members are participating in the joint working group between APDS and EV Roaming Foundation to develop interopera- bility between OCPI / APDS standards to fa- cilitate electro-mobility. We are also plan- ning to establish a joint EPA / Cycling Indus- tries Europe (CIE) working group to adapt and extend APDS to cover secure cycle park- ing. Looking to the future, as Tom Antonissen, EPA’s Executive Director says: “EPA must take a more proactive role within the APDS management. We plan to position APDS within the upcoming ‘European Mobility Da- ta Spaces’ initiative by the EU” (cf. EC Com- munication published 29/11/20234). European Automated Valet Parking (EAVP) The EAVP innovation platform was estab- lished and is managed by ERTICO-ITS Eu- rope. Its mission is to facilitate and support the deployment of AVP in Europe. EPA is a k c o t s r e t t u h S © founding member of the EAVP platform, oth- er members include BMW and other major car manufacturers as well as Tier 1 suppliers. At the recent meeting of the EAPV Board it was agreed that EPA’s Theo Thuis should chair the EAVP Board and Markus Schneider should facilitate the technical developments as Co-Chair of the EAVP Technical Working Group. What will happen next? Over the next few weeks, we will be issuing the following documents for review: 1) A draft functional European Regulated Park- ing Data Profile. This will include a summary of legal obligations to publish data and the result of our work and discussions with the European Commission and NAPCORE con- cerning the parking data profile. 2) Preliminary survey of the parking data on the NAPs and an explanation of the differ- ent types of NAPs. 3) Draft Guidelines on the application of GDPR to parking. Please take the time to review these docu- ments and give us your feedback – Your in- put is essential! Wilfried Thierry says: “To finish, I would like to add that I'm very excited to co-chair this workgroup and have the opportunity to work alongside so many knowledgeable and talented industry colleagues. The topics we are dealing with are not trivial. They are cru- cial for the future of our industry. We have to collectively deal with them to ensure they create opportunities for our sector and not just constraints. We will keep you updated on the work of the D&D WG. We are open to receiving additional members who can bring their experience and energy to assist our work.” Anyone who is interested in joining us should contact Pauline, our projects manager on projects@europeanparking.eu ■ 1 RTTI-Real Time Traffic Information; MMTIS-Multi-Modal Travel Information Services; AFIR-Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, SSTPA - Safe and Secure Truck Parking Areas. 2 The European Union Member State led NAPCORE project (‘National Access Point Coordination Organisation for Europe’), https://napcore.eu/ 3 The Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE) is a department of the European Commission, responsible for common transport policy within the European Union. 4 https://transport.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2023-11/COM_2023_751.pdf D&D WG are leading the (sometimes difficult and always complex) discussions with NAPCORE2 and DG MOVE3.

EPA NEWS packed, showing the growing interest in the topic of parking data and data sharing! In Budapest, EPA also signed new coop- eration agreements to extend the use of the APDS standard to the fields of secure bicycle parking and EV charging, with Cycling Indus- tries Europe5 and the EV Roaming Founda- tion6 respectively. A follow-up workshop between EPA ex- perts and NAPCORE Working Group (WG) leaders was held in Utrecht in March this year. Building on the Budapest parking ses- sion, the two-day workshop was a deep dive into the regulatory aspects of (parking) data sharing, availability and quality of data, and interoperability and alignment of standards. The discussions were sometimes intense, due to the differing views of the 20 or more experts around the table. It was ultimately agreed that NAPCORE and EPA will work to- gether to develop a minimum functional Eu- ropean Regulated Parking Data Profile. This along with other EPA initiatives will help our sector meet its legal obligations to share the required datasets within the foreseen timelines. As a reminder and in a nutshell, those time- lines are: • By 1 December 2024, static data on the lo- cation of parking places (on- and off- street) including PMR; • By 1 December 2025, static data on park- ing tariffs and; • By 1 December 2026, dynamic data on parking tariffs and car parking spaces availability (on- and off-street). New EPA Digitalisation & Data WG EPA’s work on the parking data profile, along with other data related matters, will be over- seen by the new EPA Digitalisation & Data WG. The working group, which held its kick- off meeting on 3rd April, has a full pipeline of tasks and planned workshops and any inter- ested EPA member who is not yet part of it is welcome to contact us (an article on the new EPA Digitalisation & Data WG is also featured in this PTI issue, on p. 26). The NAPCORE project will run until De- cember 2025. Discussions are already under- way between the Member States and the Eu- ropean Commission to ensure continuity and future development. The parking sector is considered one of the strategic and most advanced use cases for data sharing.

EPA NEWS British Parking Association Approved Meet and Greet Parking Operator Scheme The British Parking Association’s new Approved Meet and Greet Operator Scheme, AM-GO® for short, is the only police-backed scheme of its kind. M eet and Greet parking is a popular service for people travelling by car to airports, and there are many excellent compa- nies throughout the UK that provide a quality service; storing customers’ vehi- cles in secure locations in close proximity to the airport and ensuring that they are de- livered back at the agreed time and in the same condition as when they were collected. However, there are instances of compa- nies operating within airports who although they are abiding by airport byelaws and terms and conditions of use, are providing a sub-standard service for consumers. Developed together with the police The BPA has worked with its members, ma- jor airports, and key stakeholders – includ- ing the police – to deliver a new scheme which will become the recognised standard for airports and off-airport Meet and Greet parking operators. AM-GO aims to raise standards and drive out crime. By its very nature, travelling to and from airports is very much about the journey and the overall customer experience. AM-GO will further enhance this experience, showcasing those companies in the Meet and Greet sec- tor with high standards and who offer out- standing quality and service delivery. ‘Nose to tail’ customer experience From the moment a customer books their Meet and Greet service online, whether di- rectly with a provider or through a consoli- dator, to their arrival at the airport and handover of keys, AM-GO members will en- sure that every vehicle is destined to be in facility where vehicles are parked and stored for the duration of a customer’s booking. Aiming for a national standard Sara Fisher, BPA Head of Operations and Business Development said, “We are so excited to be launching this new scheme which will be the only police-supported nationwide accred- itation of its type. We are aiming for a national standard to deliver optimum success and a consistent message to the holiday and business traveller alike, so we are encouraging all UK airports and their Meet and Greet parking operators to join the scheme.” It is hoped that this new standard in air- port Meet and Greet parking can help make rogue and unscrupulous operators a thing of the past. “In the future, we want to con- fidently say to consumers: ‘Don’t book your airport Meet and Greet parking with anyone else’,” adds Fisher. The BPA will be contacting all UK airports over the coming months and the new scheme will be opera- tional before the summer holiday season in 2024. ■ www.britishparking.co.uk/AM-GO safe hands. This ‘nose to tail’ customer expe- rience is vital to ensure that all aspects of the Meet and Greet service meet the high stand- ards of the AM-GO scheme, which will also include regular audits of consolidators, booking agents, Meet and Greet operators, and airports against the AM-GO code of prac- tice. The BPA’s team of area managers will conduct in-person site assessments of all Meet and Greet services managed by air- ports and operators, including every single AM-GO scheme The new AM-GO scheme will ensure that: • Airports have designated, clearly marked and signposted Meet and Greet drop-off and pick-up zones. • Meet and Greet staff, including drivers, will be qualified, professional, and fully insured, and will carry ID cards and wear uniforms at all times. • Vehicles will be safely stored in a Park Mark® accredited facility and cars won’t be driven any further than stated on the booking confirmation. • Both airports and AM-GO members will be regularly assessed and monitored by BPA-qualified auditors to uphold the highest standards. • Motorists will be signposted to a single, reliable data source for AM-GO members and can be confident of leaving their vehicle with an Approved Meet and Greet Operator Parking trend international | no. 2-2024 35

Infotrafic Indigo Mon Repos car park in Lausanne starts to light up T he changes requested by Indigo for the car park in Lausanne were initially only to include replacing the screen to increase the visibility of the car park. However, Infotrafic convinced the company with further suggestions. An LED strip, which is 50 cm high and 4.5 metres long, was installed. This can display prices, lanes and picto- grams with traffic signs. ■ Upgrade for Indigo Mon Repos car park in Lausanne: clear figures for visitors Flexible and scalable: the new HELIOS beta and HELIOS gamma carport systems from T.Werk T.Werk INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS c i f a r t o f n I m o r f h g a r u o A i d h e M © H b m G k r e W T © . Scalable carports for commercial applications T .Werk GmbH from Burgau in Bavaria, Germany presented its new HELIOS beta and HELIOS gamma carport systems at the Intersolar Europe trade fair in June. The scalable systems can be used either as pure carports with a trapezoidal sheet metal roof or as solar carports with the manufacturer’s PV mounting systems. The new models are designed for commercial car parks. Because T.Werk dispenses with pillars in the car park and entrance area, collisions when parking or opening the doors can be avoided, ac- cording to the manufacturer. Flexible retrofitting With the carports, supermarkets and other commercial enterpris- es can utilise sealed surfaces for vehicle roofing and generate en- ergy at the same time. According to the provider, the PV systems can be retrofitted at any time without having to plan them in ad- vance. The constructions are also available as an insert version – in this case, glass-glass solar modules are used directly instead of a trapezoidal sheet. On customer request, T.Werk can supply the systems anodised and powder-coated in a different colour. “Our customers can expand the number of columns as re- quired and customise the individual parking spaces and their widths. With our new solutions, we are creating maximum flexibil- ity,” says company boss Markus Ziegler. The systems are also suit- able for very large car parks. T.Werk uses hot-dip galvanised steel profiles for the structures. The systems are therefore extremely robust. The company offers a twelve-year guarantee. With an inclination of ten degrees, the carports are suitable for all module sizes. According to the manu- facturer, the maximum clearance height for vehicles is three me- tres. ■ Parking trend international | no. 2-2024 37

crease the overall number of vehicles in the city. Overall, recent DP implementations in the European parking industry aim at opti- mizing traffic flows, pollution and conges- tion levels for on-street parking schemes. As for off-street parking, the Westminster City Council in collaboration with APCOA and a technology partner implemented DP in a London car park some years ago. Here, the pricing system should primarily improve occupancy and revenue levels for a private car park operator. Off-street DP schemes elsewhere also aim to maximise revenue and optimise the use of car parks: APCOA in Ger- many, for example, has already introduced DP in over 80 of its car parks. DP has also made its entrance in the air- port parking sector. While prices are dynam- ic based on real-time occupancy rates for some of the reviewed on- and off-street ex- amples, airport parking operators in Europe such as ONEPARK at Oslo-Gardermoen Air- port apply dynamic pre-booking rates. Ac- cording to the website of ONEPARK, book- ings with longer lead times will result in low- er parking rates. Moreover, ONEPARK states that the prices will vary based on availability and season. The rise of parking platforms that market a combined offer of on- and off-street park- ing spots including personal driveways is another recent phenomenon in Europe. JustPark is a technology start-up company which utilizes DP strategies to maximize rev- enues from particular parking spots, with over 45,000 reservable parking spots availa- ble in the UK. The main advantage of the platform is the combination of unutilized or underutilized parking spots from multiple suppliers, and real-time offerings to its cus- tomers in one consolidated application. Through DP, otherwise unsold parking spots can be utilized, increasing occupancy levels, and finally revenue. Industry insights Several interviews with experts from across the parking industry were conducted to gain a better understanding of the diffusion of DP as a practice in the industry across Europe. Most of the experts agree that the current regulatory environment poses little limita- tions to deploying DP schemes in the Euro- pean parking sector. Within the private sec- tor, all experts agree that there are mainly technical and cultural challenges involved for the successful diffusion of DP schemes. At the public level it is more complex; local policies vary heavily among countries, states and regions. The interviewees have also been asked about future developments regarding DP in the European parking industry. It is a com- mon understanding that mobility is experi- encing significant changes. Examples in- clude but are not limited to electric vehicles, bike sharing and transportation mode inte- gration. Although the experts are confident Kind of dynamic: Pricing scheme at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital BACK GROUND that such innovations will not eliminate the need to park, they underline that increas- ingly competitive service offerings will be needed to stand out. While customers may have more control in choosing their optimal end-to-end travel journey, the parking indus- try will benefit from better predictability of asset usage. As parking may become part of a more integrated mobility eco system, it is key to ensure car parking is priced accord- ingly to be perceived as a reasonable part of the solution. Adaptation patterns The interviews show that the state of diffu- sion of DP in the European parking industry varies depending on the market segment, the company size and the goal of the im- plementation. Market segments with high demand and a high level of understanding of customer behavior have better chances to successfully implement DP strategies than market segments where demand is rather lower and less is known about cus- tomer behavior. Airport parking shows the least signs of technical misfit with DP. First, car park reservation systems allow for a high predictability of asset usage. Second, customer profiles can be more easily iden- tified through travel behavior. Parking be- havior can also be better forecasted due to the direct link to airport passenger fore- casts. For off-street parking operators in city centres the link to DP schemes is less obvi- ous. The use of pre-booking systems is less common for city centre parking than for air- port parking. As pre-booking systems are one of the enablers of DP, revenue managers of city centre car parks need to overcome more technical barriers to deploy DP. In essence, not only needs to be invested in the skills of revenue managers to under- stand DP, but also a suitable pricing platform to apply DP such as a pre-booking system needs to be implemented. Enlisting special- ized revenue managers and technology pro- viders are helping to reduce technical misfit between the application of DP and parking organizations. This may be in the form of technical solutions especially customized for the parking industry such as license plate recognition as well as specialized software for revenue management.

BACK GROUND 22 signage boards on Skanderborg’s main access roads provide real-time visual information about the availability of parking spaces Urbiotica / ATKI Innovative parking guidance project in Skanderborg Skanderborg is a Danish city known for its lively cultural scene and events such as the Smukfest music festival. In response to the growing challenge of traffic congestion and parking search an ambitious parking management project has been launched. i a c i t o b r U © U rbiotica, in collaboration with its partner ATKI, has set itself the goal of improving parking in the city and in- creasing mobility for residents and visitors. The increase in traffic, especially during ma- jor events such as Smukfest, has posed major challenges in Skanderborg. To reduce congestion and facili- tate mobility, it was important to implement innovative solutions that enable drivers to ef- ficiently find available parking spaces. for parking management insights into drivers’ behavior. An interactive map provides an intuitive overview of where each board and car park is located. It also shows the position of the various magnetic sensors for single space detection (SSD) for each car park. The full matrix panels allow the operator to dynamically change the dis- play so that a customized message can be shown instead of the number of available parking spaces. The platform is compatible with tablets and other mobile devices, allow- ing easy access at any time. Improving quality of life The introduction of this innovative parking management solution not only benefits drivers in the city by allowing them to park more conveniently and efficiently, but also improves the quality of life of local resi- dents by reducing traffic congestion and promoting more sustainable mobility. In addition, the parking system contributes significantly to traffic flow management and visitor satisfaction at events such as Smukfest. ■ Real-time information The project involved the introduction of a comprehensive parking space detection sys- tem and information boards to inform driv- ers in real time about the availability of park- ing spaces in the city. Advanced technolo- gies such as magnetic sensors and cameras were used to recognise the occupancy of parking spaces and provide drivers with pre- cise information. The management system included the in- stallation of 22 signage boards on Skander- borg’s main access roads and car parks. These displays provide real-time visual information about the availability of parking spaces and personalised messages to guide drivers. The boards are monitored and controlled remotely via the online portal ATKIpark24. dk.
