NorParc is a Windows based level counting and parking guidance system that provides centralised count management, monitoring and guidance control for parking facilities that have multiple entry and exit points and/or several individual levels or sections. It can benefit small car parks as well as large, multi-level car parks.
NorParc’s graphical user interface displays important occupancy information and alarm indications against a plan view of the facility.
All entry lanes, exit lanes and access points between levels are monitored by physical counters within NCT200 counter modules, which store the count values locally and makes them available to the NorParc software via a network connection.
NorParc maintains a database of all count values together with user settings. The count information is processed to produce values such as available spaces on individual levels, overall occupancy levels, etc.. This data can then be used to display important summary information on the PC screen as well as on strategically placed signs to enable drivers to be guided to those areas where there are more parking spaces, therefore avoiding delays.
The parking facility administrator is provided with a wealth of useful information including real-time occupancy data, early indications of potential problems and a continuous count log to facilitate the statistical analysis of daily occupancy patterns, space utilisation, etc.
