Universal access to computational power and bandwidth has allowed people and governments to accept and adopt new technologies that make life easier for everybody. A surge in the availability of low cost connected devices has paved the way for powerful technological advances towards the goal of building smart cities. This eBook presents the concept of smart parking that empowers communities to harness connectivity to manage traffic and optimize parking space that scales alongside demand.

20. • Parking is one of the biggest
complaints and issue for
cities
• Parking is one of the largest
source of revenues for cities
• Parking is directly tied to
retail traffic and tax revenue
Today’s Situation -------------------
-------------------
• Increase in revenue
from taxes, citations
and turnover
• Improve the traffic
flow in the city.
• Improved quality of
life for citizens
Result
• Embed M2M enabled
devices in parking meters
and structures
• Analyze Real-time data
available to any device
• Provide real time parking
availability

Smart Parking Concept
Make the city more intuitive

21. Storyboarding a user flow

22. Use Case
Curtis needs to go to a meeting at the Bank of America
building in downtown SFO. He enters that address

23. When he is about 2 miles away from the building, he gets a list of
parking options and the prices at each. He picks a lot and a spot and
drives there. And he pre-pays for a time slot using his Smartphone

24. He gets prompted to extend her time if his meeting is
running longer than expected.

25. When he is done, the Smartphone reminds him where he is parked
Payments are seamless and automatic

26. Curtis scans his Smartphone (or watch) to exit the lot

27. The goals of a PoC

28. PoC Goals
+ Technology Demonstration
• (must have) Parking sensors and infrastructure
• (low priority) Entry/exit scanners (barcode or QR code)
+ In-building navigation
• Navigate to open spot
• (must have) text view of open spot
+ Dynamic Pricing
+ Payments
• (nice to have) Seamless payments
• (must have) User initiated payments

29. Personas to consider
1. User (consumer/driver)
2. Parking Enforcement Agent
3. City commissioners (and other data analysts + consumers)
4. Device install and maintenance crews
5. IT and Network infrastructure install (physical)
6. Solution monitoring (IT)

30. PoC: An analysis of needs - User
Relevance
• I drive to a place, not a parking
garage. Should be seamless
• Find cheap parking within
walking distance to my
destination
• Avoid getting tickets
Payment
• Easy to pay
• Should not need to enter my
credit card info all the time
• Work with phones I use
• Work with wearable I use
Usability
• Minimal interactions
• Should not need to whip out
phone if I don’t need to

31. PoC: An analysis of needs - Business
Hardware:
• Easy to install in new buildings
• Easy to install in existing
buildings
• Easy to install outdoor
• Easy to install for street parking
• Durable
• Cost efficient installation
• Theft proof/ Theft deterrence
• Easy to maintain
• Easy to support
IT infrastructure
• Easy to setup and monitor
• Remote supportability
Vendor
• Reliability + Supportability
• Inventory

32. PoC: An analysis of needs – City / County
Parking Enforcement
• Easy to train officers
• Easy to spot offenders
• Easy to print parking tickets
Revenue
• Maximize revenue
Devices
• Deploy on ruggedized, multi-
purpose mobile devices

36. High Chance
Medium Chance
Low Chance
#1: Lookup parking options near your
destination.

37. And, drive to lot
#2: Check inventory and pricing

38. #3: Park. Pre-pay to lock-in price.

39. No more parking receipts.
Use QR code to exit
#4: Get notified to extend. Or finish and exit

40. Life simplified!
#5: Post-pay though app* or at kiosk/ attendant
