An automated and client-driven software as a service solution (SaaS) approach to parking lot use analyses

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Understanding how parking lots are used is essential to both preventing the collapse of retail plazas and informing sustainable land use decisions. Currently, parking lot usage trends are tracked and analyzed manually. This project represents a new partnership between Ryerson University and SkySnap (a commercial leader aerial surveying and parking lot usage analysis), to create an automated, highly accurate web-based tool that tracks parking lot use through data received from satellite sensors. This innovative tool will also generate parking usage maps and associated parking lot utilization statistics for Canadian real estate investment trusts and municipalities, to yield substantial economic and environmental benefits for Canadians.
