GEWI has designed the TIC3 product to be flexible in many ways. This includes:

TIC for Parking

16 Feb 2011 Written by Jim

Parking is just one of the many information types easily handled by the TIC3 software, and in this edition, we’ll focus on just two projects where TIC will be used for processing parking data.

TIC processes the information reported by each facility including capacity, occupancy trend, opening times, price, passage height, passage width, security, special parking spaces and much more.

The parking information is then used by RDS-TMC or TPEG services to alert drivers about abnormal parking situations.

If you would like to learn more about how TIC can be used for your parking project, contact andrew.kristoffy@gewi.com.
