Smart Parking at the City of Noordwijk aan Zee

Helping beachgoers to find an available parking space while saving time and fuel

The Parking Problem

The municipality of Noordwijk wanted to provide a solution for the increase in search traffic which was the result of beach visitors in search of a parking spot near the beach. In essence, they wanted a parking solution that would reduce the number of tourists roaming around the parking lots across the city on busy days.

The Smart Parking Solution

With the goal in mind to reduce search traffic, we set out to provide visitors of Noordwijk real-time information on parking occupancy at every parking facility. Our counting sensors count vehicles at larger parking facilities and our smart parking sensors detect the parking occupancy of individual parking bays.

Parkeagle won the European Public Tender

Services that were needed to solve the parking problem

The municipality of Noordwijk wanted a full-service Smart Parking solution to meet all their needs:

They wanted wireless sensors to measure the real-time parking occupancy on the main boulevards by the beach
They wanted an extremely accurate counting system to measure parking occupancy for their five largest parking facilities
And finally, they wanted a real-time connection with their new PRIS (Parking-Routing-Information-System) to guide visitors to the best parking lot of space for them.
