faster and into the classroom sooner. Follow the Frog.
UCLA is a public research university in the Los Angeles suburb of Westwood. There are nearly 30,000 staff and over 44,000 students who work and study on campus, making parking a challenge.
The campus is also home to a fully operational hospital, creating its own unique parking challenges.
With parking at capacity, but no room to expand, or build new parking structures, UCLA's Transportation team had to be smarter; not bigger. Frogparking installed an indoor guidance solution at two parking structures which are the most difficult to find an available parking space on campus: parking structures #2 and #3.
Installing a parking guidance system in these garages achieved three critical goals for the university:
- The time to find an available parking space was significantly improved by reducing time visitors spent circulating searching the structure for an available bay.
- Revenue per bay and overall utilization was increased by showing visitors there were available bays in difficult to locate areas of the parking structure.
- Congestion improved by reducing unnecessary circulating.
Key Information
- High reliability and accuracy. Driving confidence in insights gained from data collected.
- Increased efficiency for motorists and terminal traffic flows.
- Improved occupancy management and turnover.
- Key contributor to revenue.
- Premium dynamic pricing. Data used to adjust pricing based on live occupancy.
Parking
Structure #2
- Sensors, LED guidance lights, and signage installed around the parking facility.
- Show motorists where hard-to-find parking spaces are – increase the utilization of these bays.
- Mobile permit parking application.
