Towards a Future of Fully Unattended Parking Lots

With the rapid advancements in technology, the parking industry has witnessed a significant transformation. The integration of the Internet, big data, and AI has led to the emergence of various intelligent applications in parking lots, such as license plate recognition, mobile payment, parking guidance, and visual intercom. As a result, the unattended parking lot operation model has gradually become an effective means and a new trend to reduce management costs and increase operating income.

Market Demand for Unattended Parking Lots

In the past, parking lot management faced challenges such as temporary parking of express vehicles, abnormal payments by car owners, and system failures, which were primarily addressed through manual intervention. However, the increasing labor costs, the growing scale of parking lots, and the rising complexity of service vehicles have made manual management inefficient and unreliable. Parking lot managers are now seeking new technologies to improve management efficiency and reduce operating costs.

At the same time, car owners have higher demands for the intelligentization, interoperability, and reliability of parking systems, including features like license plate recognition, electronic payment, and electronic invoicing. Driven by advancements in AI and big data, the core technology in the domestic parking field has made significant progress. The abnormal probability of terminal equipment has decreased, license plate recognition rates have improved, and remote services have become more advanced, paving the way for the realization of unattended parking lots.

Significant Cost Reduction

Companies in the parking industry have launched smart parking products and solutions based on their own technological developments, promoting the industry's progress. As a pioneer, JIESHUN introduced applications such as video surveillance, remote control, and event monitoring into its solution as early as 2014, establishing the concept of "unattended" in the security industry.

In recent years, JIESHUN has dedicated efforts to the Intelligent Application Research Institute, identifying more than 900 parking application scenarios and over 50 unattended application industry solutions. The company has also launched "cloud hosting" to provide a complete application architecture, from cash payment and mobile payment to electronic invoices, automatic monitoring of equipment on-site abnormalities, visual intercom, and automatic error correction.

According to calculations, unattended parking lots have significantly reduced costs compared to traditional parking lots. A traditional parking lot with one entrance and one exit generally requires 21 employees, while a JIESHUN unattended parking lot requires only 6 staff, greatly reducing labor costs. Additionally, revenue from unattended parking lots generally increased by about 20%.

A Long Way to Go

While the development of unattended parking lots is still in its infancy, the industry's perception, application scenarios, and competition focus need to be further refined. Most manufacturers and property managers believe that unmanned application scenarios can be realized through corresponding solutions, but the current unattended parking lot still requires the reasonable configuration and coordination of various management positions.

The focus of competition among companies is currently on front-end issues, such as unattended system algorithms, vehicle access, mobile payment, and simple voice intercom, with relatively single application scenarios. However, the parking industry's diversified application scenarios, fast technology upgrades, and multiple customer demands require the concerted efforts of various companies in the industry to strengthen discussions, deeply explore customer needs, enhance customer experience, and enrich product application scenarios.

In the future, a fully unattended parking lot will eventually be realized. As an industry leader, 深圳市捷顺科技实业股份有限公司 will continue to increase R&D investment in artificial intelligence and big data technology to promote faster and better development of the parking industry, improve the level of intelligence, and further provide end-users with a more convenient user experience and create greater value for parking management companies.
