Get to know our Parking Duration Field Application (PDFA)
This application is built to be used by the company Traffic Group to aid their workflow. For their clients, they compile data and analysis of use of streets/parking lots through field techicians who perform studies at these areas.
A study can come in two forms, an occupancy study or a duration study. The type of study determines the metrics used and the data gathered. For an occupancy study, the technician will go around every X minutes and record whether a spot is available or not, whereas for a duration study, the technician will go around every X minutes and record if a spot is empty, newly occupied, or occupied by the same vehicle it was X minutes ago.
Our application is going to improve the workflow because currently data is gathered using physical spreadsheets. Having an app will lessen the amount of work in preparing these studies and make it much easier for technicians to record data.
