They are commonplace in many public car parks In order to get into a public car park , you often first have to wind down the window pane and get a ticket so that the barrier opens. If you then want to leave the car park , you must first validate your ticket and then put the ticket in the terminal when driving out - otherwise the barrier will not open.
There are now modern tools, such as license plate recognition, access to parking garages However, these are of no use if, as is increasingly demanded today, alternative means of transport are to be used. Only a modern, integrated system that manages all necessary accesses and authorizations and operates accesses, regardless of the means of transport, can help here.
The technology established today is so ingrained in our minds that most of those responsible do not know that there are now much more innovative, more practical solutions for managing parking spaces, barriers, bicycle boxes and lockers - and that without the need for local operating components.

It has never been so easy to use/operate
Almost everyone has their smartphone with them on the go these days. So why shouldn't you be able to simply use this as access to the parking lot or to the bicycle box ? There are modern solutions on the market that allow users to search for and reserve a parking space in advance via an online platform . After the reservation, the user receives a message on his smartphone with access to the reserved parking space . On site, he only has to click on the "Open now" button contained in the message. On the one hand, barriers , but also, for example, parking barriers on the individual parking spaces can be opened quickly and easily.
Payment can also be processed in advance. This no longer has to be done on site, which also significantly reduces the queues in front of the entrances. Of course, a terminal can still be used on site for accessibility, so that older everyday groups can also pay and park easily.
Reserving parking spaces ahead of time ensures that everyone who is searching will find a parking space . This relieves the entire traffic infrastructure in cities immensely. Parking space management via web browser and smartphone can be implemented not only for car traffic. Bicycles can also in the bicycle boxes If you then want to stow your backpack in a locker , this can also be reserved easily with a click.
