Product Description

The Parking industry holds the keys to the future of transportation since parking optimization has several benefits. First related to the environment: 60% of emissions come from cars; 50% of these emissions are for drivers seeking a parking spot; the 54 hours per year are spent per driver in traffic jams; numerous trees need to be planted per year, to offset emissions from driving. Second related to enterprises: employees with high commuting times develop stress, and, eventually, are very likely to abandon their work; parking is a large part of commuting. Furthermore, the search for a parking spot in cities / venues is a daunting endeavor, leading to time wastage, fuel consumption, eventually, climate change. It is also claimed that haphazardly managed parking spaces have a negative impact on traffic accident rates, due to driver attention deficits, while searching-for / rushing-towards parking spaces.

In the light of the above there is need for smart parking products that will lead to the optimization of fuel consumption, time, space; achieving faster, easier, and denser parking of vehicles for a smoother professional and social life. Besides helping drivers, these systems should assist parking facility managers and owners also. Consequently, there will be societal and financial benefits, as well as merits for political authorities and urban ecosystems.

Understanding the above and aiming to assist transportation industry, WINGS has developed WINGSPARK product for the management of transportation infrastructures (land). The first focus of WINGSPARK is on parking.
