Parking sensors
Works with most existing sensors, or ParkFlow IoT sensor kits for facilities that need new hardware.
One live feed from the bay to the balance sheet.
ParkFlow brings real-time occupancy, dynamic pricing, license plate recognition and revenue forecasting together, so every decision about a facility is based on what's actually happening in it.
How data flows through ParkFlow
- Bay sensors
- LPR cameras
- Gates & barriers
ParkFlow
Occupancy & pricing models
Per facility, learned from your history, events and traffic
- Live occupancy
- Rate changes
- Forecasts & reports
Capability 01
Real-time occupancy tracking
ParkFlow monitors every spot across your facilities using live sensor data, camera feeds and IoT connectivity. Dashboards show how full each level, zone and facility is right now.
Why it matters — When you know where the free spaces are, you can direct drivers to them, spot under-used levels and stop guessing at capacity.
- Redirect drivers to available facilities during peak hours
- Share live availability with tenants and visitors
- Analyze occupancy patterns to inform infrastructure decisions

Capability 02
Dynamic pricing
Rates adjust automatically based on real-time demand, time of day, local events, weather and historical patterns. You set price boundaries and ParkFlow optimizes within them.
Why it matters — A flat rate leaves money on the table at peak times and turns drivers away when the lot is half empty. Bounded pricing captures demand without surprises.
- Airport lots raise rates during holiday travel peaks
- Downtown garages adjust pricing for concerts and games
- Hospital parking offers lower rates during off-peak visiting hours
Dynamic pricing
Sample dataAverage hourly rate index by day
Capability 03
License plate recognition
Automated vehicle identification at entry and exit points enables touchless access, permit enforcement and payment without paper tickets.
Why it matters — Faster lanes, fewer disputes and enforcement that doesn't depend on patrols catching every violation.
- Monthly permit holders enter and exit without stopping
- Expired permits and violations flagged automatically
- Validation programs applied based on the plate

Capability 04
Revenue forecasting
Forecast models use seasonality, event calendars, weather forecasts and historical occupancy to project daily, weekly and monthly revenue.
Why it matters — Budgets, staffing and maintenance windows are easier to plan when you can see the busy weeks coming.
- Build budgets from monthly revenue projections
- Plan staffing levels from predicted occupancy
- Evaluate facility performance with forward-looking analytics
