As cities become more and more congested, it has become difficult to find parking spaces and the demand for excellent smart parking solutions is rising, thus, more and more attention is being paid.

 

On June 18th , the “ 2016 Second China Cloud Parking Industry Development Forum ” (hereinafter referred to as “Cloud Parking Forum”) was held in Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. This industry event was seen as a weather vane to understand the development of the smart parking industry. It has attracted the participation of many representatives of upstream and downstream enterprises in the parking industry chain.

 

As one of the first Internet companies in China to set up and focus on building a smart parking big data platform, Parkway is invited by the organizer China Public Safety Magazine and China Cloud Parking Industry Alliance to attend this forum.

 

It is worth mentioning that during the cloud parking forum, after careful selection by the expert group, “Parkingwe” successfully won the “2016 China Cloud Parking Top Ten Brands” award, for its products, solutions, services and businesses.

Based on big data to contribute efforts to the industry

 

The smart parking prospects are very impressive. Some professional consulting organizations predict that the smart parking market in China will be exceed RMB 1 trillion.

 

This forecast is mainly based on the following: On the one hand, in addition to the large amount of infrastructure construction, the huge parking space gap will simultaneously drive the application of parking intelligent equipment and solutions; in addition, a large number of traditional parking lots are also required to be intelligent upgrading.

 

At the same time, the smart parking application plays an important role in the main entrance to the huge automotive aftermarket, such as car insurance, fueling and car washing.

 

The good market prospects have attracted many entrepreneurs to enter the smart parking market. According to incomplete statistics, the number of companies engaged in smart parking in 2015 has reached 130 .

 

The enthusiasm of the smart parking industry has also caused some problems. For example, some entrepreneurial teams have used the “free” means to attract parking customers in order to seize the parking lot resources. This has result in the increasing promotion of the smart parking industry, as well as the market is more difficult to cultivate.

Facing the fluctuations and chaos of the industry, Kevin Li said that the enterprises involved in the upstream and downstream of the smart parking industry chain are numerous and rich in types. In order to quickly respond to and solve the complex situation and needs of smart parking, all parties in the industry chain should cooperate, integrate resources and complement each other.

 

Parkingwe insists with the core of mining static and dynamic information, focusing on building a smart parking big data platform. In terms of implementation, fully utilize the intelligent equipment existing in the parking lot for Internetization, connect different intelligent parking lots, integrate real-time free parking space information, break information islands, realize parking space information sharing, and provide parking space search recommendation and parking lot for users. Navigation and other services.

 

After long efforts, Parkingwe currently building an industry-leading, comprehensive large database of parking spaces in major cities and real-time information, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other 20 cities, to grasp data of about 50,000 car parks. In 2016 , the number of covered cities is expected to reach 60 , and it is expected to reach 100 cities in 2017.

 

Smart parking is an emerging format, and there is no mature business model as a reference. Relevant companies are constantly exploring and summing up experience in practice. For the future, Kevin Li reiterated that Parkingwe will maintain an open and cooperative mentality with all parties in the industrial chain, and try more efforts to the bright future of creating smart parking.

 

Smart parking is a general trend

 

The reason why smart parking may cause the government, capital, enterprises and other parties to pay attention to and resonate is that it has obvious effects on solving the problem of “difficult parking”.

 

At present, parking difficulties have greatly reduced the quality of urban residents' lives, making social contradictions increasingly intensified, and management difficulties and costs are also rising.

 

Data show that by the end of 2015, the number of national vehicles was up to 172,000,000, compare to the number 154,000,000 in 2014, it has grown to 1800,0000. Parking resources even scarcer by the vast growth in car demanding.

 

According to data released by the National Development and Reform Commission, the average ratio of cars and parking spaces in large cities in China is about 1 to 0.8 , and that in small and medium-sized cities is about 1 to 0.5 , while in developed countries, it is about 1 to 1.3 . It is conservatively estimated that there are more than 50 million parking spaces in China 

 

There are 40 cities in China, which car numbers are over one million. Among them, Shenzhen , Beijing, Chengdu, Shanghai, Chongqing, Tianjin, Suzhou, Zhengzhou, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Xi'an are already more than 200 million. These mega car markets are suffering from "difficult parking."

 

Facing the status quo, the National Development and Reform Commission and other seven departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Urban Parking Facilities", on the one hand, encouraging the construction of parking facilities, on the other hand, explicitly supporting the development and promotion of smart parking applications, by encouraging travel before Carry out parking inquiry, reserve parking spaces, realize automatic bill payment and other functions, and improve the utilization efficiency of parking resources.

Based on hardware and software facilities, Smart Parking breaks the isolated islands of urban parking information and interconnects them. The static and dynamic data of parking lots are processed and analyzed by the cloud platform to provide decision for traffic managers or parking operators.

 

Only data basis, can we form a systematic solution to the problem of urban parking difficulties, or improve the utilization of idle parking space resources, or provide a solution to share parking spaces at the wrong time, or through the price mechanism, the parking demand is artificial.

 

Nowadays, local governments are actively responding to national policies and have introduced smart parking standards and solutions suitable for local governments. At the same time, Internet companies such as the traditional parking industry and “Parkingwe” are fully involved in the smart parking market.

 

It can be seen that the use of smart parking to solve the parking conflict has become a consensus of all walks of life, is the general trend.
