BellaDati’s Smart Parking Solution is an innovative tool that leverages camera footage to analyze parking occupancy in real-time. This solution enables parking lot managers to track parking occupancy rates, duration of parking, and frequency, thereby supporting efficient parking lot management.
In this use case, we will explain how BellaDati’s video analytics tool is specifically helpful in various scenarios, from the perspective of different stakeholders, and outline the benefits of implementation and actual use cases.

Expected Implementation Scenarios

Key Target Customers

  • Parking lot operators
  • Parking equipment manufacturers
  • Commercial facility managers
  • Stakeholders in smart city projects

These customers aim for efficient parking lot management and improved customer satisfaction. BellaDati’s solution utilizes camera footage to provide highly accurate parking management at a lower cost compared to traditional sensor-based methods.

Solution Architecture

This solution consists of the following elements:

Video stream input

Real-time video data is collected from surveillance cameras.

BellaDati server

The collected video is processed and analyzed for parking space occupancy.

Operation console

Managers use this dashboard to monitor the status of their parking lots and make operational policy decisions based on the results of their analysis.

Use Case 1: Parking management for commercial facilities

issue

One large shopping mall faces the challenge that its parking lots are full on weekends and during events, making it time-consuming for visitors to find a parking space. The customer experience is deteriorating and could lead to fewer visitors because the parking lot is not managed efficiently.

Effects of introduction

By implementing BellaDati’s video analytics tool, we expect to gain real-time visibility into the usage of each parking space and

  • Quickly display parking space availability
  • Peak parking space occupancy rate analysis
  • Appropriate rate setting based on parking time data

Use Case 2:
Smart parking system in urban areas

issue

Urban municipalities are experiencing serious traffic congestion due to parking enforcement and lack of parking spaces. There is also a need to reduce environmental impact by controlling the influx of vehicles.

Effects of introduction

By implementing BellaDati’s solutions, municipalities can create smart parking systems that

  • Real-time monitoring of occupied parking spaces along streets
  • Automatic detection and notification of parking violations
  • Reduces traffic congestion by providing drivers with information on available parking spaces

Main features of the solution

The solution consists of the following elements.

Camera status monitoring

The system monitors the operational status of each camera and alerts the user when an abnormality occurs.

Parking lot occupancy analysis

The projection analysis will be based on current and historical occupancy data for the parking facility.

Parking time analysis

Analyze the length of time parking is used to determine trends and peak hours for each day of the week.

Parking frequency analysis

Analyze parking lot usage frequency on a daily basis to identify the most used times of the day.
