The initial situation

The old barrier system in the Nettergasse parking garage was maintenance-intensive and prone to repairs. As a result, it caused considerable maintenance costs and tied up personnel resources that were urgently needed elsewhere. In addition, long-term parkers exploited the system's weak points by passing on parking cards, which led to significant losses in turnover. The lack of collection of usage data was also particularly problematic, leaving potential for the development of smart mobility solutions untapped. A modern solution was urgently needed to meet the requirements of a modern city.

The solution

As a pioneer of the future, Wemolo has enabled the city of Dormagen to successfully make parking management more efficient and lay the foundations for the mobility transition by collecting relevant data. The camera-based parking solution offers users a convenient, digital experience while ensuring cost-efficient and reliable management.

Cost-efficient & reliable operation:
The camera-based system in combination with the all-round carefree package ensures trouble-free operation around the clock. Wemolo takes care of all planning, communication and problem solving relating to parking management. Cost-intensive breakdowns and regular maintenance of barrier systems are eliminated, reducing operating costs and increasing reliability.

Useful data analyses for the mobility transition:
Detailed data analyses provide Stadtwerke Dormagen with valuable insights into what is happening in the parking garage. This data creates transparency about capacity utilization, the origin of users and the proportion of e-vehicles, which provides important insights for future traffic planning and the promotion of sustainable mobility concepts.

User-friendly & fair parking system:

The new, modern parking system in Dormagen has been extremely well received by users. High-resolution screens show parkers if there are any outstanding charges, which can be paid for conveniently up to 24 hours after leaving the car park. More than half of users pay by card at one of the stylish pay stations before leaving the car park. These measures have greatly increased acceptance of the new system in Dormagen. After an introductory phase, 99.5% of parkers no longer have any queries and can use the system without any errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to install the Wemolo system?

The costs for installing the digital system vary depending on the location-specific conditions of the parking area and its size. In an initial non-binding discussion, we will be happy to advise you on how to develop a tailor-made solution for your parking space and to prepare an initial cost estimate. Please contact us and our park experts will get back to you as soon as possible.

Do I buy the hardware?

The hardware required for parking space management remains the property of Wemolo GmbH during the contract period and is therefore not purchased by you. Wemolo is responsible for the reliable operation of the hardware.

What requirements must the parking area meet?

Wemolo has a solution for almost every parking space. In a non-binding conversation, we will be happy to show you what needs to be considered in your parking space. In principle, clearly identifiable entrances and exits, a power connection (230V) and good data reception (LTE/5G) are an advantage.

Where do you position the license plate scanners?

The license plate scanners are installed near the entrance. The exact location varies from location to location. Our license plate scanners have a range of up to 100 m and can capture a width of approx. 12 m. They can therefore be mounted on facades, lamp posts or on roofs.

What measures are being taken against third-party parkers?

Third party and long-term parkers who park their vehicles without authorization are recognized by our system and automatically receive a sanction notice.

What does the local signage and marking look like?

Terms and conditions and information signs are installed on each parking space, which draw attention in unpaid parking space that it is a customer parking space with a corresponding maximum parking period. The corresponding contractual penalty for infringement is also clearly visible. In paid parking spaces, these signs are supplemented by others that explain the parking process using the digital system. The signs are large and easily recognizable at the entrances and exits and on the parking area. Vehicle owners agree to the terms and conditions by driving into the parking lot.

How does optimizing parking control work with a camera system?

Our digital parking monitoring uses electronic means to monitor your parking spaces. Using AI-based software, cameras reliably record the license plates of all vehicles — without any barriers.

Are the parking time limits in this system optimally designed?

The use of digital systems makes it possible to optimize parking times. Parking space use is made efficient with parking time limits and long parking times are avoided. The parking time limit is set in consultation with your individual needs at your location.

What advantages does digital parking space monitoring offer compared to conventional parking systems with parking disc and barrier?

Companies benefit from optimizing the search for parking spaces for customers and thus creating a customer-friendly atmosphere, as nothing else needs to be considered. Optimizing parking monitoring also reduces the workload for your employees.
