Real-time car park guidance, counting and reporting.
Holman parking guidance systems calculate available spaces by monitoring vehicle movements and occupancy, then display live information on signs, web interfaces and integrated customer systems.
Designed to guide drivers and give operators better data.
Holman Engineering has developed parking guidance systems that advise drivers of the number of spaces available in each car park, level, zone or section. The system calculates availability by monitoring vehicle movements using in-ground loops, surface loops, overhead lasers, count points or individual bay sensors depending on the site.
The system provides real-time information to LED signs around the car park and can also publish data to websites, apps or third-party systems. Parking data is logged to a central database, either locally or cloud based, so the operator can review trends, generate reports and understand car park performance.
A complete parking guidance system.
Each project is sized and configured around the car park layout, customer operations and information outputs required.
Detection
Loop detectors, count points, bay sensors and laser counting options selected to suit the site.
Control Nodes
Holman node points collect movement data and drive electronic signs throughout the car park.
LED Signs
Availability signs guide drivers to the most suitable car park, level or zone.
Reporting
TrafficNet and web interfaces support live data, history, reports and system management.
Installed systems with a proven track record.
