What is NTCIP? NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION COMMUNICATIONS for ITS PROTOCOL A communications protocol is a set of rules for how messages and data elements are coded and transmitted between electronic devices. The equipment at each end of a data transmission must use the same protocol to successfully communicate. NTCIP is a family of communication standards for transmitting data and messages between computer control devices used in Intelligent Transportation Systems.
NTCIP History
NTCIP is a joint standardization project started in the early 90’s by AASHTO, ITE and NEMA, with funding from the FHWA, to develop and promote a standard communication protocol for the Intelligent Transportation Industry.
It has today been adopted in every state of the USA and increasingly in other parts of the world, Europe, China, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Dubai, Greece, Turkey, South America and many more...
Benefits of NTCIP
Interchangeability of different manufacturer traffic devices
Integration of systems and jurisdictions
Allows a standards based approach to Central System procurement.
Allows phased introduction of Central System
Intelligent Parking simplifies the way parking works.
It assists your customers by giving them the correct information when trying to find a parking spot.
The near 100% accuracy erases inefficiencies in the counting process by monitoring every bay allowing every space to be utilized.
What is Intelligent Parking?
Provides information to motorists each time they have to make a decision in order to guide them to the correct lot, the correct floor, and finally to an open bay.
How Does It Work?
Parking can begin a long way from the parking facility
Internet or PDA
Municipal or DOT DMS/VMS Signs
NTCIP Requirement
Integration to any Manufacturer
Inform
Information at the entrance of the parking facility
Informs drivers of the parking conditions in each parking garage
Direct
Signs display real-time data at every decision point
Signs inside the facilities indicate to which level drivers should proceed

Using individual bay sensors the motorist can easily navigate to an open bay
Green – Vacant
Red – Occupied
Blue – Handicapped
Amber – Reserved

Increased customer satisfaction by helping them find a parking space with minimum effort in the shortest time possible – on average customers find a space 50% faster.
Better flow of traffic and reduced congestion due to fewer vehicles circling for parking. This results in a significant reduction in CO 2 emissions – an estimated 20% of congestion is caused by drivers searching for parking.
Benefits
Greater utilization of parking availability can increase parking revenue by as much as 15% depending on facility - published statistics show that on average 10-15% of the parking spaces in garages are not used.
Less frustrated customers have more time to spend in retail outlets (restaurants, shopping, etc) – a study in a large California shopping center reported a 2-5% increase in retail sales.
