The intelligent parking system is becoming more common in large, new complexes such as Westfield London and T5 Heathrow. It is definitely a system that has been designed with parkers in mind, here's a drivers experience:
- as I enter the car park there are signs indicating the number of available parking bays in different locations of the car park, this info is real time, so it's accurate at the point I am looking at it. I can then make a choice about the best area for speedy parking
- then as I drive through the car park there are more signs that again indicate the number of available parking bays within the immediate area, handily directing me to the most likely available spot
- now that I am in an area where there are supposed to be available spaces I can see rows of lights positioned above each parking bay, colour coded to indicate which bays are available and which are taken.
In summary, when these parking systems are in place you don't really think that much about them but you do appreciate not having to spending time, sitting in a hot, stuffy and polluted multi-storey car-park.. just follow the lights and they'll find you a space, nice!
