Future-proof parking management for the state capital Kiel
Efficient corporate mobility management with unified administration: 9 locations with over 350 parking spaces - and Book-n-Park
Harmonizing the parking management system for the city of Kiel was a major undertaking: nine locations were brought up to the same standard, with some hardware being newly installed (in partnership with companies like Hörmann) and others being future-proofed. This includes our in-house smart locks, barriers, roller doors, license plate cameras, and much more. The exact hardware varies depending on the location (the image on the right shows the bunker parking lot at the town hall with a barrier, camera, and PIN pad). The entire access management system is GDPR-compliant and runs on Book-n-Park, a universal SaaS platform. Great emphasis was also placed on flexible scalability; additional locations can be implemented just as easily as, for example, electric vehicle charging stations, bike-and-ride facilities, or even multimodal mobility hubs.
At the heart of any corporate mobility management system are the employees: Book-n-Park's web app, compatible with any browser, allows employees of the City of Kiel to conveniently book parking spaces. At the same time, special reservations, such as for council meetings, can be made transparently for everyone. Book-n-Park offers a fair solution to the often contentious issue of parking space allocation.
We have listed important aspects of this project again below – In any case, we are delighted that we were able to implement such a sustainable mobility solution together with the state capital Kiel!
Unified administration of all locations
Managing all parking locations within a municipality in a unified system saves a significant amount of time and effort. Furthermore, it provides a complete overview of the parking situation. Special reservations, for example for visitors or council meetings, can be easily made.
Hardware tailored to the needs of every parking space
Whether it's a parking lot barrier or a parking garage gate: every location has different hardware requirements. All electromechanical access points can be controlled uniformly with Book-n-Park – we are also happy to retrofit existing barriers, gates, doors, etc.
Freely selectable access control
Kiel relies on access control via license plate recognition, but there are many options: QR codes, PIN pads, tokens/access chips or even control via the user's smartphone are just some of the possibilities – each municipality can choose its preferred solution.
Sustainability and fairness in the workplace
Secure parking spaces, fairly distributed and easily bookable – this is what benefits city employees using Book-n-Park's parking management system. And the environment benefits too: trips searching for parking are eliminated, and more efficient utilization can potentially prevent the need for new construction.
