Live occupancy
Every site's true state, right now — spaces, dwell, and flow, streamed from the cameras.
Data Solutions
Real-time mobility intelligence.
Every car park generates data worth more than its tariff board: occupancy, dwell, turnover, demand curves, and revenue per space. Parka captures it live from ANPR and payments, and turns it into dashboards and APIs that operators, councils, and estates actually use.

The data guide
What car park data can actually tell you.
Occupancy is the master metric
Live occupancy answers the operational questions — is the site full, when does it fill, which car park has headroom — while its history answers the strategic ones: seasonality, growth, and the case for expansion or repricing.
Because Parka reads every entry and exit, occupancy is measured rather than sampled: no sensors to maintain per bay, no extrapolation from payments.
Price with evidence
Demand-based pricing only works when you can see demand. Parka pairs occupancy curves with payment data so tariff changes are experiments with measurable results — revenue per space before and after, displacement between sites, and dwell-time effects, all in the dashboard.
Data that leaves the car park
Parking data feeds far more than parking: town-centre footfall proxies for councils, arrival patterns for venues, kerbside evidence for transport planning, and live availability for signage and apps. The API streams events in real time so the data works wherever you need it.
GDPR-first by design: analytics run on anonymised, aggregated data, with plate-level processing confined to parking operations. ISO 27001 certified.
Common questions
What data does a car park generate?
Every visit produces entry and exit times, dwell, payment, and product data. Aggregated, that becomes occupancy by hour, turnover, repeat-visit patterns, revenue per space, and demand curves — the evidence base for pricing and planning.
How is occupancy measured without bay sensors?
ANPR counts every vehicle in and out, so occupancy is calculated continuously from actual movements — more accurate than sampled sensors, with nothing to install or maintain in each bay.
Can the data feed our own systems?
Yes. Events and aggregates are available over the API in real time — for BI tools, availability signage, mobile apps, or smart-city platforms.
Is the analytics data GDPR safe?
Analytics use anonymised, aggregated data. Plate-level records are processed only for parking operations, retained to policy, and access-logged — ISO 27001 certified end to end.
