Space Management
Provide reliable data for truck and logistics drivers on intelligent parking options along their route, reducing the complexity of having to find a space to park under strict time constraints. Cleverciti’s smart parking solutions include real-time information on available parking spaces as well as dynamic local guidance to make the most of surface parking areas.
Parking Guidance
Give confidence to truck drivers that they will find an available space while ensuring compliance with driving time restrictions. Drivers can check live availability when deciding where to stop—either via highway signage, by mobile device, or through automated integration with the fleet’s navigation system. Upon arrival, quickly guide them to the right parking aisle, eliminating unnecessary circling.
Advertising
Incorporate advertising into parking guidance displays, combining useful parking information with advertising for valuable services at the truck stop or from nearby businesses—increasing revenues and helping to fund the parking guidance deployment.
Truck stop smart parking FAQs
Why is parking such a problem for truckers?
Many countries have imposed very strict laws regarding the maximum hours a truck driver is allowed to drive for. Violations of those laws are fined heavily, potentially costing logistics companies revenue. At the same time, truck drivers are under time pressure to reach their destination as quickly as possible. Smart parking solutions can help simplify the parking problem by providing reliable data on available spaces.
How can smart parking systems help truck drivers park efficiently?
Smart parking systems use sensors that detect the size of a vehicle and the available space, thus making them far more effective than in-ground sensors that rely on uniformly designed parking spaces. The data generated by the Cleverciti sensors can be fed into mobile applications, informing truck drivers of available spaces en route to their destination.
How do smart parking systems identify large vehicles like semi-trailers or lorries?
Smart parking sensors such as the ones developed by Cleverciti can measure the size of a truck as well as that of an available parking space by using edge computing, artificial intelligence, and deep learning.
