Parking Guidance SolutionsEvery trip we take in a vehicle starts and ends with a parking space and yet, all too often, parking management goes overlooked. So at McCain, we decided to leverage our decades of experience in the traffic industry to develop a comprehensive and expandable parking solution that meets the needs of any size parking facility. The result? A Parking Guidance System that helps mitigate traffic congestion associated with parking, while simultaneously boosting the structure's bottom line, reducing your carbon footprint, and creating happy drivers. McCain’s Parking Guidance System works to alleviate congestion by quickly and efficiently guiding drivers to the first available parking space. No more circling aisles or aimlessly guessing which structure has an available space. Thanks to individual bay monitoring, accurate space availability is broadcast to drivers on signs from as far out as the freeway, guiding them to the structure, level, and aisle with available space, ultimately highlighting open spots with a green light illuminated above the parking bay. The applications for parking guidance are endless, whether you are an airport trying to maximize occupancy, a university looking to reduce carbon emissions, or a mall looking to minimize the time shoppers spend in the parking lot so you can maximize their time in the stores. |
How Parking Guidance Works
McCain’s Parking Guidance System monitors individual parking space occupancy data, guiding drivers to the closest available parking structure and space by visually communicating availability to drivers. A fully customizable system, McCain’s Parking Guidance System can be as nominal as monitoring occupancy and as expansive as informing drivers from nearby freeways or major arterials. Contact McCain today to discuss your particular needs and let us design a solution just for you!

Available as variable message signs or a hybrid of static and variable, the signs offer complete flexibility in managing space availability from the entrance of the structure. | |

Benefits for Management, Patrons, and the Environment
No matter the primary goal of your parking operation, the benefits of parking guidance are undeniable. A parking guidance system that functions through individual space detection and management will help increase patron satisfaction and provide accurate real-time occupancy information for easy management, all while helping dramatically reduce the environmental impact of your structure.
 | Increase Management Efficiencies:Boost Revenue & OccupancyBy monitoring each individual parking bay, verses utilizing loop counters at just the entrances and exits, McCain's Parking Guidance System provides management with upwards of 99% accurate, real-time space counts. No more guessing at when the structure is full or turning away patrons when there are still open spaces. By maximizing use of available spaces, you can increase turn-over and boost revenue. |
| | Increase Patronage:Create Happy, Repeat CustomersAll of us, regardless of our professional affiliations, are consumers of parking and as such grow frustrated and impatient when it comes to the endless search for parking. Parking guidance combats lines, congestion, and bottlenecks, easily guiding drivers to the first available parking space. What consumer wouldn’t love that? Create happy drivers and increase patronage by making your facility more sought-after than the competition. |
| | Reduce Emissions:Promote Sustainability for Future GenerationsThose idling vehicles that plague our parking structures emit 20 times more pollution than those travelling at 30 mph, making the parking industry an often overlooked contributor to our nation’s mounting pollution problem. Reducing the amount of time spent searching for parking, directly reduces those harmful emissions – up to 55,000 pounds per day per parking structure! |
