People going to the shopping mall often end up spending a half hour or more hunting for a parking space.
Sometimes it may feel like there are no spaces left at all.
Imagine if there was a way to find open parking spaces without having to hunt for them.
The good news is that more and more lot owners are using parking guidance technology to let people do just that.
Shopping malls and other businesses are thrilled at the prospect of getting some control over their parking situation.
The less time a potential customer spends hunting for a parking space, the more time they can spend in the store.
Parking has gone high-tech, with sensors that keep track of parking space.
The status of the space goes to a LED- display panel, which shows the space as available or occupied.
Owners can customized these parking guidance systems to display the amount of space available for disabled drivers and other special needs customers.
Color-coded and easy to follow, these systems take the guesswork out of the parking situation, saving precious time for drivers.
In addition to the display system, signs are placed in plain view at key decision points for drivers.
These signs direct the driver to available spaces, or advise them where to go to find an open spot.
Many parking guidance systems have powerful software that can be customized to generate reports and monitor any parking operation.
