The M3 Park Assist System is comprised of numerous computers networked via Ethernet to provide the ultimate parking experience for customers and management. The role of software in the system is significant because it allows Park Assist to devise the optimal package of features for each site, and add new features as they are developed.
- Parking guidance in the M3 Park Assist System is enhanced by the ability to apply advanced software-based logic to do more than count spaces on each floor. Signs can be placed at key decision points throughout the car park to guide drivers to areas with available parking, and parking zones can be configured in software to support variable pricing or parking policies.
- Unique to Park Assist is Find My Car, the 'Virtual Parking Valet.' Software captures license plate data from the digital images so drivers can locate their cars when it is time to leave. Using pay stations, kiosks or smartphone applications, they can easily tap into the knowledge in the Park Assist data.
- The web-based reporting system for the M3 Park Assist System accesses the wealth of data generated everyday to help managers make decisions and understand how the car park is being used. Check on current conditions or compare against history with a rich visual interface.
- Software-based add-on features allow each location to integrate specific security, customers service, or revenue generation features. A wide range of features are available now with new ones constantly in development.
