Case 4 Smart parking in a commercial area

How could a Shopping Centre facilitate parking? 1. The red/green light rings on the columns signal whether there is an available parking space nearby or not. 2. If the parking time is limited to 2 hours, an alert is sent to the parking operator when cars overstay their time. 3. When cars park in a loading area or in a wrong place, an alert is sent. 4. The system keeps detailed statistics of the number of cars that are parked at different times of the day and week. 5. Number plates are automatically checked to give relevant access to VIPs or staff.
