Technology

Quercus Technologies keeps innovating to offer solutions that adapt to the changing needs of parking facility operators. With the new functionality of our BirdWatch parking software, we are taking another step in the integration of electric vehicles into our parking facility monitoring and management systems. The BirdWatch parking system not only connects to payment terminals, now it can also be integrated with electrical chargers, creating a fluid experience for electric vehicle users and improved management for parking facility operators. With this new functionality, users can know how long the vehicle has been charging in real time, and how long it has been parked without charging (lead time), providing operators with a comprehensive, detailed view. The BirdWatch EVC functionality makes it possible to know what is happening in each charging space, in detail, both in terms of parking as well as the use of the charger. This facilitates efficient management and maximizes profitability, especially in facilities where major investments have been in fast-chargers. This ensures that these resources are used in an optimal, profitable manner. Challenges in ticketless parking facilities and our innovative solution: In parking facilities that use ticket-based systems, the process is clear. When the ticket is presented to the payment terminal, the system accurately indicates the time that the vehicle has been charging, enabling optimal management of the electric-charging parking spaces. What about ticketless parking facilities? Management of ticketless parking facilities brought out a common challenge. How can the machine know how many hours the vehicle has been charging, or if, on the other hand, it has been parked but not charging? The SC Indoor parking sensor can detect the vehicle and read its license plate. Then, the electric charger complies data on the charge. This information is transmitted through the API to the payment terminal. The inter-relation of data enables the creation of an accurate real-time record of the time that the car has been parked and charging, optimizing management and control of electric vehicle parking, and ensuring that charging spaces are used as efficiently as possible. Another challenge faced by ticketless parking facility operators is the risk of users entering license numbers of other vehicles in the parking facility to gain access to charging. Although many chargers have their own app to manage charging, this solution depends on mobile network coverage, which is not always available in underground parking areas. Ensuring coverage throughout an entire parking facility is expensive. But with our system it isn't necessary. Integrating the guidance sensors and automatic license plate recognition, this problem is averted, because the vehicle that is using the charging station is reliably authenticated. This guarantees comprehensive monitoring capability.  Incident detection: Uncharged, incorrectly parked vehicle: This functionality can also detect anomalies, like vehicles parked in a charging space that are not using the charger. This detection capacity not only helps maximize the efficient use of charging stations. It also diminishes the frustration of drivers looking for a free space, ensuring that they are always available for users who need them to charge their vehicles. Companies also face another challenge: employees with electric company cars. How can companies be sure the employee is charging their company car and not their own vehicle? With the guidance system, the SC Indoor sensor recognizes the license plate and prevents this fraud, ensuring that only authorized vehicles can use company charging stations. This functionality also has a direct impact on the performance and return on investment made by parking facility operators. By optimizing the use of charging spaces and reducing idle time of electric chargers, operators can significantly improve vehicle rotation and with it, the revenue generated. The system also facilitates more efficient resource management.  A comprehensive solution for parking facilities of the future: Our goal is to equip parking operators with smart tools that not only improve the user experience, but also contribute to sustainability and efficiency of their daily operations. With the integration of electric chargers into the BirdWatch system, Quercus Technologies is offering a comprehensive solution that addresses the needs of parking facility users and operators. From charging management and time monitoring to incident detection and resource optimization, we are building the infrastructure that will help parking facilities adapt to the demands of a new era of electric mobility. Contact: marketing@quercus-technologies.com The on-street parking system currently consists of single-space meters, which will remain in place. However, with the expansion of digital payment options, drivers can now choose between the existing meters and the new Flowbird Mobile App or Pay-by-Text system for added convenience. The Flowbird Mobile App allows users to pay for parking from their mobile devices, receive alerts when time is about to expire, and extend their parking sessions remotely without visiting a meter. The app features an intuitive, map-based interface and integrates with navigation systems like Waze to guide users to available parking spots. It can be downloaded from both the App Store and Google Play. For those who prefer a more streamlined option, Pay-by-Text provides a quick, web-based solution. After parking, users simply text the number posted near their parking space, receive a secure link, and input their payment information. No account creation or app download is necessary—just a few taps, and the parking session begins. “The success of the ParkBH garage program has shown how much digital payment options can improve the parking experience,” said Benoit Reliquet, President and CEO of Flowbird America. “We are excited to bring these cutting-edge and convenient solutions to the city’s on-street parking spaces and continue providing top-tier service to the community.” The roll-out of the on-street parking expansion has begun and will continue throughout the city in phases. Flowbird Parking Ambassadors will be on-site the 2nd week of November to assist customers with their first mobile payments or to answer any questions.

This session will take a retrospective look at the evolution of parking technology by revisiting our past Technology Committee presentations, exploring how various parking technologies were developed, identifying the catalysts that facilitated their adoption, and the barriers that hindered others.

Hello Fellow IPMI Friends- Here is a little background of Charleston County Parking Operations, our primary function is to provide support for the County Office Building and the County Courthouse located in downtown Charleston.  As many of you know, the City of Charleston is known for its history, proximity to beaches and many tourist attractions.  When you factor all of this in, parking is at a premium in downtown Charleston. I have been employed with Charleston County for over 16 years and in my time our camera surveillance system has improved significantly.  The camera system plays a vital role in our daily operation at Charleston County.  Our staff utilize the cameras to proactively assist customers, verify customers disabled placards, equipment malfunctions, incidents etc.   An excellent example of our staff utilizing the cameras, a customer had a seizure in the elevator and one of our employees saw this on camera and immediately went to check on them and called 9-1-1.  This is just one instance of our staff assisting customers. One of our biggest benefits of the cameras is recouping damages throughout garages.  Examples are broken gates, hit and runs, breaking and entering, and other criminal activity.  At the garages we have a very complex situation, Charleston County owns and operates garages within the City of Charleston.  This does create some confusion at times on what agency should respond to certain calls. It is extremely important for us to maintain a positive and proactive relationship with the local law enforcement jurisdiction.  The value of these relationships is tremendous not only for us, but for our customers! Paul Whetzel, CAPP is the Parking Operations Manager for the County of Charleston, SC. Paul can be reached at PWhetzel@charlestoncounty.org. I often share with parking employees we have to continue to change to meet the expectations of the future.  Embracing change is hard for so many employees, but it is one thing that motivates me to seek out new parking innovations and sparks my creative side on how to improve the customer parking experience.   How can I lead better? Do I need to change or does my operation need to do things differently to meet customer expectations? I have been in two different arenas from a university parking environment to now the municipal side. While change may bring some angst or anxiety you get used to a certain response or non-response from administrators. Not only is the City of Bloomington getting a new mayor this year, it is also an electoral year.  However, I believe a certain amount of change makes us better professionals, better service agents to our community at large and provides a different look on how we should be doing things differently if it is broken!   I know clear directives and strong leadership ensures that we are on the same path to making our City better each year. My hope not only for my staff but for all the parking professionals going through “the changing of the guard”, that you keep moving forward with your mission, listen, seek to understand first and give the new administration the opportunity to prove themselves.   Always provide honest feedback to your department head about how the staff is transitioning.  Ask questions for clarification if you don’t understand, don’t assume you have all the facts.    Be open to see both sides.    I am probably going to have to read this advice in the coming months as I go through the first administrative change in my professional career in the city. Are you going through changing of the guard, administration and or leadership?   How will approach your next administrative change?   From John F. Kennedy’s perspective will you choose, growth or safety? Michelle L. Wahl, CAPP, is the Parking Services Director for the City of Bloomington, IN. Michelle can be reached at michelle.wahl@bloomington.in.gov. Our two on-campus parking structures have about 200 cameras covering almost every inch of space. Our department has a significant role in installing well over 50 other cameras around campus to oversee parking areas and major points of traffic and pedestrian flow. High volume bus stops and pay-station locations are top priorities, and our dispatcher routinely monitors and checks them for things amiss. Perhaps unusually, we are separated from the University Police Department which has shared access to the cameras providing a valuable safety resource. One person with a virtual presence across half the campus at same time, managing equipment and various situations. We are not cruel, though. One of the TVs in dispatch has the Weather Channel on all the time and sometimes we even let them have visitors! Harold Robinson, CAPP, is the Assistant Director of Parking and Transportation Systems for The University of Mississippi. Harold can be reached at hdrobins@olemiss.edu. Growing demand for EV charging: Global EV sales surge: in 2023, global EV sales hit a record 10 million, up 55% from 2022. EVs are expected to account for 18% of total car sales by 2024. EV adoption rates: the number of EVs on U.S. roads is projected to reach 26.4 million by 2030, compared to 2.6 million in 2021. Consumer demand for charging: 81% of EV drivers expect access to charging at places where they park for extended periods (such as parking lots, multifamily developments, and workplaces). EV charging as a competitive advantage: Attracting tenants and visitors: 40% of drivers have said they’re more likely to choose a parking facility with EV chargers. Increase in property value: properties with EV charging stations have seen rent premiums increase by 3-5%, and property values can increase by 7% in markets where EV adoption is strong. Parking facilities with charging stations: facilities with EV charging tend to experience higher occupancy rates, especially in urban areas where EV drivers actively seek charging options. Courtney Henry-Irwin is the Director of Partner Development for EVPassport. She can be reached at cirwin@evpassport.com.
