Parking Guidance Systems

Real-time car park guidance, counting and reporting.

Holman parking guidance systems calculate available spaces by monitoring vehicle movements and occupancy, then display live information on signs, web interfaces and integrated customer systems.

System Overview

Designed to guide drivers and give operators better data.

Holman Engineering has developed parking guidance systems that advise drivers of the number of spaces available in each car park, level, zone or section. The system calculates availability by monitoring vehicle movements using in-ground loops, surface loops, overhead lasers, count points or individual bay sensors depending on the site.

The system provides real-time information to LED signs around the car park and can also publish data to websites, apps or third-party systems. Parking data is logged to a central database, either locally or cloud based, so the operator can review trends, generate reports and understand car park performance.

Parking guidance system
Typical Components

A complete parking guidance system.

Each project is sized and configured around the car park layout, customer operations and information outputs required.

DetectionVehicle counting & sensing

In-ground loops, surface loops, overhead lasers, count points or individual bay sensors sized to the site's accuracy requirements.

SignageLED displays

Digit and message displays showing available space counts at entrances, on each level and throughout the car park.

SoftwareTrafficNet / IntelliPark

Central server software collects data, calculates availability, drives signs and supports web and app outputs.

ReportingManagement dashboard

Operator-facing web interface for live data, historical trends, occupancy graphs and downloadable reports.

IntegrationThird-party connectivity

Output feeds to university apps, payment systems, ticketing platforms and external web services via API or data export.

SupportOngoing maintenance

Remote diagnostics, fault monitoring and on-site support backed by decades of parking system experience.

Benefits

Accurate parking information where it is needed most.

A well-designed parking guidance system reduces circulating traffic, improves driver experience and gives operators the data to manage their site effectively.

  • Live space counts at car park entrances reduce unnecessary entry and circulating traffic.
  • Level and zone displays help drivers find available spaces without travelling through the full car park.
  • Web and app outputs extend availability information beyond the physical signs.
  • Management reporting helps operators understand peak demand, occupancy trends and system performance.
  • Compatible with third-party integrations including access control, ticketing and wayfinding systems.
