“Know Before You Go!” - An omni channel availability Solution
Parking presents a multitude of challenges, and as a company dedicated to overcoming these hurdles through technological innovation, our objective is to alleviate the common frustrations associated with parking in urban areas, universities, event venues, operators, and private lots. At Athena, we take pride in integrating collaborative technologies to deliver unparalleled solutions tailored to any environment.
Our premier technology partners, Modii and Parking Logix, have forged a strategic alliance to provide drivers with effortless access to real-time parking availability through multiple channels. Additionally, administrators can access comprehensive parking data to streamline their operations. Essentially, Modii and Parking Logix are equipping drivers with the necessary information to effortlessly find the best parking spots before starting their journey.
The collaboration between Parking Logix and Modii equips users with the ability to gather, manage, monitor, and display parking availability information in real time, all at their fingertips. Utilizing cutting-edge sensors and data analytics, users receive instant updates on parking availability in lots, garages, and even on-street parking spaces. Accessing this information within seconds via their smartphones saves drivers valuable time and spares them the frustration typically associated with the hunt for parking.
The extensive adoption of omni-channel availability has already showcased significant advantages in numerous esteemed universities and cities throughout the United States, supported by external research conducted by industry organizations. These implementations have brought about transformative effects, notably in streamlining parking operations and enriching the overall mobility experience for both drivers and administrators.
Students, faculty, and staff have the flexibility to tailor their parking choices based on their permits and the time of day, taking into account variables like campus events and construction. Meanwhile, visitors and tourists attending events can access anticipated availability before arrival and real-time updates during the event. Additionally, parking managers benefit from access to historical capacity statistics via a centralized dashboard, facilitating informed decision-making for events and data-driven actions based on the insights provided.
Omni-channel availability is already leveraged by the following Modii & Parking Logix customers:
The University of Texas, Arlington - The UTA Parking Finder features garages and lots where live availability is currently being displayed. This data is collected through advanced parking occupancy sensor technology at the entrance of the garage. Users can view availability percentages by clicking the high-demand areas where tracking is currently in place.
University of Nevada, Las Vegas - UNLV chose to display a consolidated view of availability in their 3 garages on the landing page of their Parking Finder - UNLV Park N Go. Real-time occupancy counts are collected in garages through Parking Logix sensors found at the entrance of each garage, then fed to Modii to communicate to users before they depart.
City of St. Augustine, Florida, - The St. Augustine Parking Finder displays both off-street and curb occupancy, with capacity data collected at the major downtown garage using Parking Logix occupancy sensor technology. For the curb availability, Modii analyzes historical meter and payment data to indicate availability, and rather than providing occupancy statistics the parking finder employs descriptive terms such as, “Scarce”, “Limited” and “Likely”, each color-coordinated to signify the likelihood of finding available parking
The ongoing and dynamic partnership between Modii and Parking Logix is dedicated to developing innovative solutions to address parking challenges nationwide. With a primary focus on implementing smart parking systems for both drivers and administrators, their collaboration aims to make life a little bit easier for everyone.
This commitment is something we firmly stand behind at Athena, as we and our partners persistently strive to break the mold in the parking, transportation, mobility, and EV industries.
