Digital Parking Asset Mapping
Spot has developed a fast, accurate, scalable, and cost-efficient process by which to map parking assets.
This has proven to be a key foundational step for smart cities and private parking owners.
Geo-located parking signs and meters, interpreted into a powerful time-dynamic database is the first step towards smarter parking strategy, planning, regulation, and public communication.
Added to that the need to prepare for connected and autonomous vehicles; it is easy to see why accurate data of parking restrictions will only become more useful in the future.
If you want to know more about how Spot can map your parking assets - get in touch, we would love to chat!
Parking Asset Management Platform (PAM)
Spot collects data that fully encapsulates the restrictions along the entire side of each street, not just the parking areas. In this way, a holistic overview of parking restrictions can be created for asset owners to interrogate, report on, and strategize from.
Each asset is treated as a data point in PAM, with a category assigned, a geo-location, and a raw image showing the asset condition.
Spot's Parking Finder
Spot works with cities to create powerful databases and key navigation for customers. We have found that whilst the core use cases are the same - 'Where can I park?' 'How long can I stay?' 'How much will it cost?' - different clients look for a focus on different features. Some clients have wanted to focus on School Safety, some on Disabled Spaces.
Spot's parking finder is a versatile tool to visualise parking restrictions that can help people discover and plan their parking options. With the option to add sensors for real time availability and usage analytics, it becomes a powerful tool for the public and asset owners alike.
Whatever the focus, Spot's data collection and visualisation can be customised to suit. Take a look at some of our products in action: Bendigo CBD, Parramatta Schools, Sydney, & Hollywood, LA.
Case Study - School Parking Finder
Spot worked with the City of Parramatta to create an online, interactive resource to help improve pedestrian safety, ease congestion, and increase compliance to parking restrictions around school zones.
Take a look at the School Parking Finder here.
Spot's innovative asset collection and interpretation technology was repurposed to produce a time dynamic visualisation of the parking restrictions around schools.
If you know of a school which could benefit from deploying Spot's School Parking Finder - we would love to hear from you, please get in touch.
Case Study - Bendigo CBD Parking Finder
Spot worked with the City of Greater Bendigo to create an online, interactive resource to help people understand restrictions and find parking. The city wanted a particular focus on accessibility, so the Disability Inclusion Reference Committee of the city was consulted throughout the project. The tool was designed to give more information for disabled visitors to the city to find parking spots which suited their specific needs. In doing so, it is hoped that we can remove just one of the many difficulties faced by disabled people visiting new places.

Spot's innovative parking asset collection and interpretation technology was used to produce a time dynamic visualisation of the parking restrictions in Bendigo's CBD, with a specific focus on disabled parking spaces.
About
Spot aims to revolutionize the way asset owners manage, communicate and receive payment for their parking assets.
Far beyond pay by phone for parking - although we have a really cool app to do this - we have developed a digital parking platform that can rapidly and cost effectively map all parking (and other) assets and provide valuable, real time mapping data to asset owners in an open data platform.
Spot is a female founded tech startup, which started life in July 2015. Operating from the co-working space WeWork in Pyrmont, Spot has a fully owned subsidiary in the United States. Spot has developed patent pending technology and is in the process of trialling the technology with cities and private parking owners in Australia and the United States.
