Reserve parking spaces with your smartphone – the stress-free way to manage parking
Local operating components like barriers and terminals are commonplace in many public parking lots public parking lot , you often have to roll down your window and take a ticket so the barrier opens. When you want to leave the parking lot , you first have to validate your ticket and then insert it into the terminal as you drive out – otherwise, the barrier won't open.
now exist specifically for accessing parking garages . However, these are useless if, as is increasingly demanded today, alternative modes of transportation are to be used. Only a modern, integrated system that manages and operates all necessary access points and authorizations, regardless of the mode of transportation, will suffice.
The technology established today is so ingrained in our minds that those in charge are usually unaware that there are now much more innovative, practical solutions for managing parking spaces, barriers, bicycle boxes and lockers – and all this without the need for local operating components.

It has never been so easy to use/operate
Almost everyone carries their smartphone these days. So why not use access parking spaces or bike lockers to search for and reserve parking spaces in advance via an online platform . After reserving, the user receives a message on their smartphone with access to their booked parking space . Once there, they simply click the "Open Now" button in the message. This allows for barriers and parking bollards , for example, at individual parking lots.
Payment can also be processed in advance. This eliminates the need for on-site payment, significantly reducing queues at the entrances. However, a terminal can still be installed on-site to ensure accessibility, allowing older people to pay and park easily.
By reserving parking spaces , it is ensured that everyone looking for a parking spot can find one . This significantly reduces the strain on the entire traffic infrastructure in cities. Parking management via web browser and smartphone implemented not only for cars. The secure parking of bicycles in designated bicycle boxes can also be achieved in the same way. If you then want to store your backpack in a locker , this can also be easily reserved with a click.
