How parking guidance works

Sensors at the entrances keep the count, and the count reaches drivers on signs, phones and websites, and managers in the cloud, in real time.

  1. Magnetometer, lidar or AI camera sensors count every vehicle in and out.

  2. Relays the count wirelessly from the sensors to signs up to 820 feet away, even through obstacles, on AC, solar or battery power.

  3. A bright LED sign at the entrance shows how many spaces are open, customized to your lots and branding; AC, battery or solar.

  4. Signs inside the garage or at a campus decision point show availability by level, zone or lot, so drivers head straight for the open ones.

  5. Drivers see availability by lot on their phone, with GPS directions and color coding; the app carries your logo and colors.

  6. An API sends live availability to your own app or website and to third-party parking apps, so drivers check before they leave.

  7. Live occupancy, system health, alerts and utilization reports from any connected device, with no local IT to run.

Frequently asked questions

Can the signs be customized?

Every sign is built for your facility: availability by level, by lot, the closest lot with open spaces, or whatever drivers need to see, in your branding.

Can we show availability in our own app or on our website?

Yes. The API shares real-time availability with your app, your website or third-party parking apps, alongside or instead of the OpenSpace Parking App.

Can we change sign settings remotely?

Yes. Sign settings, counts and messaging can be updated from the cloud dashboard on any connected device.

What can we do with the data?

Beyond guiding drivers, utilization reports show how and when your facilities are used, so you can plan lots, set permit numbers and pricing, and see demand.

Do we need IT infrastructure on site?

No. All data is stored and processed in the cloud.

Keep every lot counting

Count Care keeps the critical OpenSpace components on hand (about 20% of your system, pre-purchased) so a failed part is swapped the same day, and TAPCO service agreements add warranty extensions and detailed records after every visit.
