Peter Park Enables Contactless and Secure Parking in Times of Corona

To protect ourselves and others during the pandemic, we navigate through our lives with extra caution. We try to avoid touching doorknobs, railings and buttons in public spaces, as these could be potential sources of viruses. And even though thorough handwashing and disinfection have become part of everyday life, the fewer surfaces we have to touch, the better.

In workplaces as well as in public spaces, comprehensive hygiene concepts are presented to minimize the risk of infection.

The classic parking procedure of buying a parking ticket at a barrier and then paying at a parking machine is once again being called into question in times of Corona. After the infection figures in Germany rose rapidly, many cities had decided, for example, to overhang parking machines on the streets and offer parking free of charge. This was intended to reduce the risk of infection through the operation of the parking machines.

In parking garages or large parking lots, a barrier or control personnel usually are in place or patrolling the lot to check if parking fees were paid. The Peter Park system enables barrier-free parking, which does not require control personnel. With Peter Park’s intelligent parking system, the control of parking authorizations is realised via licence plate scanners, in full compliance with data protection regulations. Furnishing a parking lot with such a system is possible within one day. Neither expensive hardware nor special prior knowledge is required to use the software. Furthermore, the leading parking payment apps can be integrated thanks to Peter Park's approach of enabling flexible integrations. RFID cards or other identification methods are made redundant. Manual checking of cars by staff is also no longer necessary, since parking offences can be identified automatically with Peter Park's technology. Barrierless entry and exit allows for a continuous flow of traffic, helping to equalize traffic flow. In this way, contactless parking ensures a safe customer experience without sacrificing revenue.
