Car Parking
Transport & InfrastructureCar parking facilities are (almost) everywhere, from on-street parking bays and open-air lots to multi-storey parking garages and fully automated car parks. They can be public or private, in building basements or at shopping malls. What they all need in order to function efficiently and generate revenue is efficient communications between a Control Room and the parking customers.
For more than 40 years car park operators have been benefiting from what we do best. In parking facilities and control rooms employees must be able to rely on high-quality communication, thoroughly reliable alerts, video support and control systems – solutions that are designed to withstand extreme ambient conditions while meeting stringent norms and requirements. For a few years now a shift in paradigm in the Parking business is evolving. Beneath operational aspects security and safety, incident response management aspects are getting more and more important. In fact, can there be anything as important as personal security, the main precondition for health and life? This may sound dramatic, but it is true.
Following you can see an overview of the Commend Parking Solution.
Furthermore there are special pages with more information for IP-PA in Parking and Incident Reaction Management in Parking available.
