How Real-Time Data is Transforming Parking and Mobility Revenue

Data has become a fundamental driver of revenue growth and customer satisfaction, shaping the way parking operators, smart cities, and urban hubs manage demand and pricing. By shifting away from static pricing models, organizations are leveraging real-time analytics to make proactive, data-driven decisions that enhance efficiency and profitability. The Role of Data in Revenue Optimization Traditional revenue management relies on historical data, which limits responsiveness to real-time demand shifts. Data observability ensures that parking and mobility operators have a continuous, accurate view of booking trends, allowing them to identify revenue opportunities and potential gaps before they impact profitability. Using Data to Drive Smarter Strategies By integrating business intelligence tools, operators can enhance pricing, maximize occupancy, and improve customer engagement. One key insight is the impact of peak booking times - Thursdays and Fridays see a significant increase in reservations, while booking success rates peak between 7-11 AM, 1 PM, and 6-7 PM. Aligning marketing campaigns and price adjustments to these windows can improve conversion rates and revenue generation. Similarly, the rise in last-minute bookings (with over 60% of transactions happening within five days of travel) highlights the need for seamless experiences and real-time availability updates to capture spontaneous customers. Turning Data into Action With real-time analytics, parking operators, urban mobility planners, airports, and commercial hubs can implement dynamic pricing strategies, predict demand fluctuations, and personalize customer outreach. Instead of reacting to market changes, organizations can anticipate them—ensuring revenue opportunities are maximized across different sectors.

Hand Interacting With A High-tech Holographic in Vehicle

2025 User Experience Report Reveals Need for OEMs to Optimize In-Car Payment Services to Access Untapped Revenue

London, UK - A new, first-of-its-kind report by Drive Research, focused on the full User Experience journey of in-car payment systems, shows that these services have become an extremely desirable convenience feature for many drivers who would be willing to pay for access to significantly improve their driving experience and brand perception. The 2025 In-Car Payments User Experience Report presented real-world drivers in the US and Germany with two in-car payment systems and tasked them with completing the same exercises on both, before answering quantitative and qualitative survey and interview questions, to gauge their level of interest in in-car payment functionality and opinions on the two formats. The first system (A) was an anonymized current in-production OEM system in each region, with the second system (B) being an updated setup created together by Parkopedia and Valtech Mobility, with ease-of-use improvements across enrollment, notifications, engagement and payment processes. Drivers want easy-to-use in-car payments for all driving-related services All American drivers surveyed stated that having an easy-to-use in-car payment system would improve their driving experience, with 100% also highly valuing this functionality in enabling in-car payments for driving-related services. Simple in-car payments were also near-universally valued by German participants (93%), demonstrating the wide-ranging demand for this functionality when it works as intended. Showing the potential benefit to OEMs from introducing well-executed in-car payments, 97% of participants in both the US and Germany would consider using in-car payments for all vehicle transactions, such as parking, EV charging, fueling and tolls, if the setup were easy to use. One German participant stated, “System B (updated) is definitely simpler, time-saving, self-explanatory, efficient, and an everyday helper.” The same proportion (97%) stated that in-car payment functionality would improve their driving experience and would value having multiple in-car payment services available through one platform, instead of requiring external devices to access. The consistency of these figures shows that drivers have a strongly-held interest in more sophisticated, connected car services and OEMs that offer seamlessly integrated in-car payments stand to win a growing proportion of customers from rival brands that fail to address this increasing demand. Demand for notifications when in-car payments are available Not only do drivers want broad in-car payment functionality, but they also want intelligent integration of the service to ensure they can get the greatest benefit from the features available. 93% of German drivers and 87% of US participants would value their car having the ability to notify them through the infotainment system when in-car payments are available nearby. Demonstrating drivers’ will for having additional in-car payment features built into their cars, 80% of US drivers would be ‘frustrated’ if in-car payments were available nearby and their car failed to inform them. Similarly, all German drivers surveyed and 97% of US motorists would value having an onscreen button to immediately access connected services nearby, such as parking and charging data or in-car payments. Poor enrollment process is limiting uptake and usage Drivers flagged that a complex registration process would reduce their likelihood of signing up for in-car payments, with 77 % of German drivers and 70% of US participants being put off by a complicated enrollment setup. More than this, 57% of Germans stated that a long-winded registration format would make them less likely to use in-car payments after registering, along with half of US drivers. This shows that the user experience has a very significant role in influencing drivers’ behavior and OEMs must optimize the registration process if they want to ensure the greatest customer satisfaction and adoption of premium services. 90% of US drivers considered the current industry standard registration process as being ‘complex’, highlighting that car manufacturers are already failing to meet many customers’ expectations. A significant proportion of drivers in both markets would be willing to pay a premium to access in-car payments, with more than two-thirds of drivers being open to paying for this functionality. More than half of German drivers would be willing to make a monthly payment for in-car payments, while nearly half of US participants would consider a higher initial price, showing OEMs the need to offer tailored payment options for this type of feature to maximize usage. Drivers demand integrated solutions over reliance on mobile devices Drivers saw integrated in-car payment services as valuable because they could respond appropriately to the situation or route, such as flagging the need for parking or charging, or helping to reduce the stresses associated with driving. Furthermore, several motorists considered such functionality to be a differentiator between rival brands. This could potentially influence purchase decisions - both pulling drivers towards models with high-quality in-car payment services and pushing them away from other OEMs that offer poor services or fail to provide these at all. Current deployments underrepresent the full capabilities of in-car payments Drivers significantly preferred the updated system shown, which prioritized usability, minimizing the amount of clicks needed to access key payment functions and making it simpler to pay for multiple vehicle-centric services using one platform. More than 90% of US drivers were extremely likely to use the updated system compared with just 20% for the current industry deployment. More than 90% of US and German drivers also engaged more with the optimized in-car payment system, with 100% of US and 90% of German participants being more likely to use in-car payments for future transactions if they had what they perceived to be the more ‘streamlined’ system. This shows that OEMs risk alienating their own customers by offering poorly executed in-car payments; drivers want convenient in-car payment functionality, but expect it to be user-friendly and are likely to be put off using such systems if they do not meet expectations. In-car payment execution affects drivers’ opinion of the brand Having well-integrated prompts for in-car payment services has a significant positive impact, with 97% of US drivers stating that this functionality would notably change their opinion of a car brand. More importantly, 87% of US drivers claimed that intelligent in-car payment integration would significantly increase their likelihood of buying a car from the same brand in future. Car manufacturers not currently offering in-car payments or providing poor-quality systems with frustrating user experiences could cause significant damage to their brands, potentially pushing their customers to rival brands that offer a more sophisticated digital user experience. Addressing this appears to be relatively straightforward, with all US and German drivers stating that they would be more likely to use in-car payments if the process were deemed easy to use and saved them time or money. Furthermore, 87% of US drivers and 63% of Germans would be dissuaded from using in-car payments if the system required multiple menu screens above what they deem necessary for confirming in-car payments. Commenting on the report results, Adam Calland, Global Marketing Director at Parkopedia, who overseen the focus group sessions, said: “The demand for connected car services continues to rise rapidly around the world, and this research shows that in-car payment functionality in particular is now becoming a must-have feature for motorists who highly value convenience and are willing to pay for this. “This is being accelerated by the global shift towards EVs, with motorists not only valuing having in-car data directing them to suitable charge points, but also integrating payments within the same platform, to facilitate the full public charging experience within the vehicle. The need to improve both awareness for in-car payments and the UX of current implementations was clear from the findings of the report, but the upside is equally clear on the potential value for the automakers who get this right.” Link to access the full reports About Parkopedia Parkopedia is the leading connected car services provider used by automakers, organizations and millions of drivers around the world.

Installation of Parking Space Sensors to Begin March 13, Resume Through Summer

More than 10,000 parking space sensors will help Clemson faculty, staff and students find a parking spot on campus this Fall thanks to a project two years in the making coordinated by Parking and Transportation Services and parking solution provider eleven-x. The sensors will provide real-time parking data through the Tigers Commute app, allowing drivers to see available spaces at a glance. Installation of the sensors will begin on Thursday, March 13, with 3,000 spaces completed over Spring Break. The remaining sensors along with digital displays at the major lots will be installed during the summer in time for the start of the Fall 2025 semester. Once all the sensors are installed, the feature will be active in the Tigers Commute app. “At Clemson University, our ethos is about putting people first by offering top-tier resources across our campus,” said Dan Hofmann, director of Parking and Transportation Services. “This installation is leading the way to improving the parking experience for our staff, students and visitors.” Employee and student commuter lots as well as all accessible, EV charging and metered parking spaces across main campus will feature sensor technology. A sophisticated state of the art gateway network installed throughout campus will allow single space parking sensors installed in the middle of each parking space to wirelessly communicate vehicle occupancy through the network. The occupancy information will be displayed on the Tigers Commute app, via the web-based version or on more than 40 new digital displays outside of the major parking lots on campus. “As a Clemson employee, I’m looking forward to knowing ahead of time what spaces are available,” said Jeff Anthony, occupational safety manager in Occupational and Environmental Safety and Staff Senate president. “These sensors should also improve safety and congestion with fewer cars circling for an open spot.” Combined with real-time transit and ride-sharing features in Tigers Commute, the sensors will help those coming to campus plan their trips more efficiently. The technology will also provide Parking and Transportation Services with more accurate data such as lot occupancy rates and peak usage times to enhance future offerings. More information will be shared in Clemson News when available.
