A revolutionary management concept for modern car parks. The key principles of the SIGNAL-PARK concept, when applied to a busy car park, are simple - but revolutionary. Because, at last, individual places can be constantly (and cheaply) monitored, it becomes possible to market guaranteed and pre-allocated places to the consuming public in real time: for cash or as an incentive. The computer-controlled, SIGNAL-PARK management system alters, instantaneously, specially positioned illuminated signs and indicators, in accordance with changing occupancy: giving instant guidance - visible at a distance of 100 yards.

Entry/exit counting system with digital sign management.

The lamps signalling the state of the car park places have a life of more than 10 years and are visible at a distance exceeding 100 meters. For signalling the vacant places we have adopted 6 green L.E.D. (light emitting diodes) adequately spaced out and providing an adjustable field of vision.

The personal computer of the control centre allows to visualize in real time the occupation rate of the car park, by level, or by zone. Several statistics are possible like the number of occupied places, the number of entrances and exits, and the list of the present cars during so much hours, (24 h, 3 days, etc...) All the data are on disposal in a file which can be reread by another network. In option: a possible representation of the car park with the state of each car park place.

Signalling the empty places to the motorist, by very visible green lights, is certainly very useful, but guiding him straight to them right from the car park entrance with the direction displays, is a necessity. SIGNAL-PARK has been designed with precisely this in mind. By linking the detectors to a control center, it becomes possible to completely control a car park with any number of places and levels.

As soon as the driver is confronted with a choice of direction - floor, aisle, zone - a very visible sign points out to him with the help of green or red arrows the roads to take or to avoid.
