Electronic Parking Guidance System
Seattle Department of Transportation is interested in contracting with a qualified firm that has experience in designing and deploying a city-wide electronic parking guidance system (EPGS). The successful proposer will install the EPGS in Seattles Central Business District; consisting of management software system, dynamic LED message signs and static wayfinding signs. The completed system will provide real-time off-street parking space availability and direction from main access roads through dynamic and fixed messages signs.
The use of the system will:
provide information on available short-term customer parking in off-street facilities to shoppers, tourists and visitors
reduce traffic congestion and vehicle pollution
shift off-street supply from serving long-term commuters to serving short-term customers and visitors to maintain a thriving Center City Seattle
contribute to a positive perception of Seattles Center City through enhanced parking information.
The available space information will be displayed in real time on dynamic message signs located in Seattles Downtown and at each garage entrance. The system will be completely automated requiring no input or actions by any individual to gather and display the information. The system will gather available space information from individual garages Parking Access and Revenue Control systems (PARC), and transmit information to a SQL database on the Contractors servers in order to transmit in real time the parking availability data for each garage to the appropriate DMS
