Smart parking sensor networks can provide accurate data drawn directly from actual parking behaviors in every space – not just estimates. The benefit of this knowledge allows communities large and small to arrive at tangible applications to help them thrive and grow.
For example, optimized parking in retail areas, i.e. less empty spots and fair enforcement of time limits, can improve turnover of spaces (number of cars that occupy a space per day).
Increased turnover in retail areas typically leads to increased sales for that area's retailers. This then leads to greater revenue through taxes and property values for a community. That in turn attracts new businesses and residents, which then further helps enhance the overall economic value of the area.
This is just one example of how better parking can enable a better, more vibrant and thriving community.

It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
