3PGS guidance systems guide: From sensor to mobile app
In a world where technology transforms every aspect of urban mobility, parking guidance systems have become fundamental tools. It is no longer just about offering free spaces, but about facilitating an efficient, secure, and connected experience for the user.At i+D3 we have developed 3PGS, a smart guidance system that covers the entire parking cycle. From the detection of available spaces to the location of the vehicle through a mobile app.3PGS is presented as a modular, scalable, and customizable solution that responds to the needs of both large operators and smaller parking lots. Its main strength is the integration of hardware and software technologies that allow automating processes. In addition to improving internal management and offering valuable data to optimize the service.
The basis of guidance systems: Sensors and real-time visualization
The heart of the 3PGS guidance system is its ability to detect, in real time, the occupancy of the parking lot. Each parking space has sensors that report if it is free or occupied. These data are visually represented by LED indicators in each space and information panels in corridors or accesses. In this way, they direct drivers towards areas with greater availability.This system significantly reduces the time a driver spends looking for parking, decreases internal congestion, and improves the efficiency of space use. For operators, it offers a detailed view of the parking lot's behavior, with real-time maps and usage statistics that allow making informed decisions.
Security and location: Beyond parking
One of the most common challenges in large parking lots is remembering the exact location of the vehicle. 3PGS solves it with a smart video surveillance system integrated with HD cameras and LPR technology (license plate recognition). Upon entering and parking, the system automatically records the vehicle's position. Thus, it allows the user to retrieve that information from a touch consultation point or from their mobile phone, simply by entering their license plate.Furthermore, this functionality provides added value in terms of security. By linking each vehicle with its space, and recording every movement, the 3PGS guidance system acts as a deterrent system against possible incidents. Therefore, it protects both vehicles and people.
Mobile app: The control center for the user
The mobile app is the component that turns 3PGS into a complete ecosystem. From it, the user can locate free spaces, receive directions to reach them, pay for their stay without going through a cashier, and locate their car. Everything is connected to offer a fluid, autonomous, and frictionless experience.Thanks to this integration, operators can also access valuable data on user behavior. The use of the app allows collecting metrics on stay time, visit frequency, demographic profiles, and usage patterns. These data, anonymized and treated in accordance with regulations, allow designing loyalty strategies, segmented promotions, or operational improvements based on real evidence.
Architecture designed to last
The system design combines zone controllers (ZC), which collect data from the sensors in each area. Likewise, also a central controller (CC), which consolidates all the information and transmits it to the management software. This modular architecture allows the system to be easily expandable and adaptable to different parking configurations. From multi-story undergrounds to open-air or automated parking lots.Furthermore, the 3PGS infrastructure is designed to operate without the need for constant intervention. The entire system can operate 24 hours a day, with remote monitoring, automatic updates, and predictive maintenance.
More than a guidance system, a strategic tool
The great advantage of 3PGS lies not only in its ability to guide vehicles, but in the entire set of functionalities it offers. By integrating guidance, security, analytics, and digital mobility in a single solution, it becomes a strategic tool to transform the parking lot into a source of value.Guidance systems like 3PGS help reduce operational costs, improve user satisfaction, and increase space rotation. Therefore, all this translates into higher revenue. They also position operators as innovative and sustainable agents within the urban mobility ecosystem.
