If you’ve ever tried to park inside of a parking garage, you’ve likely noticed this situation can sometimes seem stressful. While you’re trying to find a parking spot, you might find yourself constantly driving up and down levels. It’s understandable if you feel a sense of dread while pulling up to a parking garage. That being said, one company has helped make stressful parking garages a thing of the past.
One of the most stressful places to find a parking spot has often been while trying to enter a busy hospital. Visitors are often competing with hospital staff, all of whom are vying for a nice parking spot. Modern Healthcare reports that New Hanover Regional Medical partnered with tech company Indect in order for this parking garage to receive an update.
This newly-designed parking garage is truly a sight to behold. The new parking garage has a large electronic sign that all drivers see before entering the structure. The sign reports, in real-time, how many parking vacancies are available on each floor of the parking garage. This would normally be a huge sigh of relief for anyone to see. However, there are additional features once a driver enters this structure that take away even more stress commonly associated with parking.
After finding which floors have available vacancies, things get even easier. You’ll find that each parking space features a bright green LED light above any open spot. As a driver parks in a space, the green light turns red. This easy to understand system easily allows users to see the exact location of open parking spaces which is especially beneficial while trying to park during the night.
In conclusion, a newly-designed parking garage in North Carolina could change the way people think of these structures. Made by a company called Indect, this new parking garage features a large electronic sign for users to see before entering this structure. This sign lets drivers know which floors have open spaces. In addition, LED lights are featured above each space which indicates whether a parking spot is open or has been filled.
