8666 ParkHere is launching currently new products to simplify the parking process for car drivers and car park operators which the company will feature at Intertraffic Amsterdam 2018.

Last year, the German start-up focused on the self-powered parking sensor.  The company will now provide its customers a complete software and hardware solution from a single source to administer their parking management.

The core product is and remains the sensor, which is embedded in the parking area.  A car driving over the sensors generates an impulse in the installed energy-harvesting module. The resulting energy is sufficient to transmit the information via mobile phone network to the server.  The data is then analysed and made available to customers via web app or dashboards.  It is no longer necessary to draw a ticket, because payment then runs on a smartphone.

Electronic paper signs and self-powered parking hangers supplement ParkHere's portfolio. The self-powered signs allow dynamic parking space reservation. The parking hanger physically blocks the parking lot and is controlled by the app or dashboard.
