Announcing Frogparking’s Autonomous Parking System at Bell Station, Preston
In January 2023, Frogparking completed the first phase of a groundbreaking installation at Bell Station in Preston, Australia. The installation introduced our smart parking system, equipped with outdoor parking sensors and dynamic signage, making Bell Station one of the most advanced parking hubs in the country. This two-stage project aims to enhance the parking experience for the station’s thousands of daily commuters.
Revolutionizing Parking at Bell Station
Bell Station, located in Preston, sees significant daily traffic from commuters traveling to and from Melbourne. With such high footfall, parking availability and management are critical. Our autonomous parking system has transformed the station’s parking infrastructure. By using Frogparking’s ultra-low latency network, sensors communicate with our FrogHub platform in real time. This means the station gets up-to-the-minute updates on parking availability, improving both parking policy and customer satisfaction.
The parking sensors we installed cover lower levels with our innovative parking guidance system. These sensors direct drivers to available spots, minimizing search time and reducing traffic congestion. For upper levels, we installed car counters, complemented by dynamic signage at key decision points. These signs display available spots across all levels, allowing drivers to make informed decisions instantly.
Data-Driven Insights with FrogHub
One of the standout features of this installation is how the system integrates seamlessly with FrogHub. This powerful platform provides real-time analytics, giving Bell Station valuable insights into parking trends, occupancy rates, and turnover. These analytics have helped the station refine its parking policies, ensuring better turnover and more available spaces during peak hours. Informed by these insights, Bell Station can continue to optimize parking operations for its thousands of daily visitors.
Leading the Way in Australia
This installation marks the first of two stages, with further dynamic wayfinding signage set to be added soon. Frogparking’s autonomous parking system at Bell Station highlights our growing dominance in the Australian market. With our cutting-edge parking technology, we’re helping transit hubs like Bell Station create more efficient, driver-friendly parking experiences. The importance of a good parking system at a busy train station cannot be overstated, and Frogparking’s solutions are proving to be the best on the market.
By installing our smart parking system at Bell Station, we’ve set a new standard for parking management in Australia. This first stage of the project is already reducing congestion, improving driver experience, and providing the station with invaluable data. We look forward to completing the second stage and further enhancing the station’s parking system with our superior technology.
Bell Station is now well on its way to becoming a future-focused transportation hub, and Frogparking is proud to be a key partner in that journey.
