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

了解停车场的使用方式对于防止零售广场倒塌和为可持续土地使用决策提供信息至关重要。目前，停车场使用趋势是手动跟踪和分析的。该项目代表了瑞尔森大学和SkySnap（一家商业领先的航空测量和停车场使用分析公司）之间的新合作伙伴关系，旨在创建一个自动化，高度准确的基于网络的工具，通过从卫星传感器接收的数据跟踪停车场使用情况。这一创新工具还将为加拿大真实的房地产投资信托基金和市政当局生成停车场使用地图和相关停车场使用统计数据，为加拿大人带来可观的经济和环境效益。

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.
