The COVID pandemic has also resulted in an increase in recent years of people commuting by car rather than public transportation, making parking lot congestion an even more pressing concern.
The impact of parking lot congestion
Having to deal with a congested company parking lot before the workday starts reduces employee motivation and productivity. This stress is even more pronounced for people with tighter time constraints such as those raising children. Any employee driving to work love a more comfortable commute.
Even small daily frustrations can add up to larger stresses. Particularly for the manufacturing industry, which is facing a serious labor shortage, this can be a major problem that can affect factory operations, requiring an early response.
Using parking occupancy signboard to effectively guide commuters to alternative parking lots
Congestion is largely caused by high occupancy in the most convenient parking lots. Areas near building entrances and exits are high-traffic areas, resulting in congestion even after the lot is full as cars continue looking for open spaces.
The most effective measure to eliminate this problem is to install parking occupancy signboard in parking lots prone to congestion. Informing drivers of a full parking lot helps stop more cars coming in when there are no open spaces available. In such situations, employees will know to look for open spaces in other parking lots (such as Parking Lot No. 2).
Although an initial investment is necessary to install the equipment, system operation requires only simple periodic maintenance. When considering long-term operation, parking occupancy signboard are a cost-effective means of reducing congestion without the monthly labor costs that arise from other solutions such as parking lot attendants.
