Parking Counting system:
Parking Counting system, as the name suggests is an
automated system that counts the number of spaces occupied by parked cars and
the number of free spaces, where one can park their car. As there are plenty of
cars on the road, so the spaces for parking cars are getting less. So, there’s
always a problem with car parking, as the space is limited and cars number is
increasing rapidly. Parking counting system is an automated system that helps
to park more cars in a relatively less space, hence helping with safety and
profitability.
It is a sub-system that comes under a wider system called
Parking Management System. The main purpose of Parking Counting System is, it
counts the number of cars that are parked in the parking lots, and tells about
the number of spaces that are free to be parked. Based on the counts, it displays
Full, Open, number of spaces left in each level of multi-level parking.
As a result of this, it becomes easier to properly control
and manage the car parking in big parking lots, especially in multi-level
parking, as it is very hard to keep a count of number of free spaces.
Parking Management
System:
Parking Management System is a complete system that is
related to managing of vehicle parking. As there is a big rise in the number of
vehicles, and the figure are still rising up. So there is a scarcity of spaces
to park as they are very much limited. In order to help with this problem the
Parking Management System is developed.
Well, Parking Management System is an automated system that
helps in proper management of car parking. So that an effective and efficient
parking solution can be generated. Parking is a big problem of nowadays,
particularly in metro cities. People don’t know the number of free spaces and
they allow too many cars in their parking lot than the space they actually have.
Because of the Parking Management system, now it is possible to park more cars
in fewer spaces; and also to achieve more security and safety.
This wider management system consists of multiple
sub-systems, to name some includes: Parking counting system, Parking guidance
system, Gate barriers, Ticket validating machines, etc. All these together work
and help in achieving a proper parking management system.
Boom Barrier:
Boom Barrier is barrier that is used to block vehicles
passing from both sides. It is basically a pole or bar that is usually found in
car parking, railway crossing, drawbridges etc. The basic purpose of the Boom
Barrier is to stop vehicles entering or going cross through a point. In parking
facilities, it can be used to restrict the excess of cars and traffics.
The Boom barriers are being used from a long time in the
past, and now there have been a lot of improvement in them. Earlier they were
manually operated, and now they are automated. They are basically long poles or
bars that block the road, and when once permitted to pass, they are raised up
in a vertical arc, to certain height.
They are a great help for the parking management system, as
they stop cars for managing the traffic properly, and avoiding excess cars in
the parking lot. They can also be used to stop the normal cars and allow the
VIP cars pass through first. They are also a good help for maintaining security
in the Parking Facilities, as they can be used to stop the suspected cars and
inspect them.
