Car park occupancy and availability

See which parking spaces are free in real time, and find booked spaces that aren’t being used. Car parks are often full on paper but half empty in reality.

The problem

Why it matters.

Car parks are often full on paper but half empty in reality. Booked spaces go unused while drivers circle and are turned away.

What it detects and measures

  • Which spaces are taken and which are free, live
  • How full each parking zone is
  • Booked spaces that are empty, compared with booking records
  • Vehicles leaving before a full-day booking ends
  • Busy and quiet periods by day and week

How it works

Set up in four steps.

Self-service, in the browser, on the cameras you already own.

  1. 01Connect

    Uses the CCTV cameras already covering the car park. No new hardware.

  2. 02Set the rule

    Mark the parking zones and spaces, and link booking records if available.

  3. 03Measure

    Tracks which spaces are taken and compares actual use with bookings.

  4. 04Act

    When booked spaces are unused, the facilities team is notified so they can be released, in line with your booking rules.

Footage credits

Demonstration footage. Some clips are AI-generated with Google Flow. Others are sample videos from Intel (CC BY 4.0; changes were made: clips are trimmed and overlaid), OpenCV sample data and Mixkit. Detection boxes come from an object-detection model run on each clip; labels and metric values are illustrative.
