The parking operations of a business can often be a large capital expense. How smoothly these operations run can also have a significant impact on visitor satisfaction – and it is often an untapped revenue enhancer for visitor-based institutions.
Parking optimization involves looking at different aspects of a company’s parking arrangements, including the capacity of the parking structure, where it is built and how it is operated. Looking at issues such as this enables to determine the current performance and level of parking optimization. It is also important to examine attributes including the arrival patterns of visitors and the lengths of their parking stays.
Another important consideration for large scale organizations is how visitors will be moved from the parking structure to the venue itself, as this can also have a serious impact on visitor satisfaction and cost.
