Time spent looking for a parking location is time spent generating harmful carbon emissions. On average, Australians spend 3,120 hours of their lifetime searching for a parking garage, with approximately 15 minutes per journey.
Technologies like UbiPark show a 43% reduction in the time taken to find parking as you are navigated to the best available on or off-street parking locations based on your current location or final destination. Less time driving means less impact on the environment.
Research has shown that many parking spaces are not used within big cities like Melbourne and Sydney, with some of the parking garages only utilising 32% of their spaces. Our technology helps users identify the parking garages with available car spots and solves the problem for parking operators with capacity issues.
A parking garage can be far more dangerous than most presume. A large percentage of all motor vehicle accidents and insurance claims occur in the parking lot: over 20% of all accidents and 14% of all claims. While searching for parking, drivers spend more time glancing off-road, which distracts them from traffic.
If we account for time urgency – it increases driver stress and affects driving behaviour. With the help of the UbiPark mobile application and our “Windows-Up” experience, the number of accidents in parking garages, including fatal ones, can decrease significantly.
