Smart parking facility | Fast entry & exit, no congestion

A smart parking facility is increasingly being adopted by residential complexes, shopping malls, and office buildings to manage a growing number of vehicles when parking space cannot be expanded. However, when motorcycles and cars share the same parking area, efficient traffic flow management becomes a key factor in determining the overall operating efficiency.

In practice, most parking congestion does not result from barrier opening speed or license plate recognition. Instead, it is often caused by vehicles entering the wrong area, spending too much time searching for parking spaces, or making repeated turns. To address this, the system manages vehicle flow from the entrance using data assigned to RFID cards, automatically identifying the vehicle type, permitted parking area, and suitable block. Users simply follow the system’s guidance and park in the assigned space.

Vehicle flow management using RFID card data

Instead of requiring drivers to search for parking spaces themselves in a smart parking facility, each issued RFID card is preconfigured with vehicle information in the parking management software. When registering for parking, the system stores the vehicle type (Sedan, SUV, motorcycle, etc.), license plate number, access rights, and permitted parking area.

When a vehicle scans its card at the entrance, the software immediately identifies the vehicle type and directs it to the appropriate preconfigured block. Users do not need to select a parking space or ask staff for assistance; they simply follow the signs to the area assigned by the system.

For example:

• The RFID card for a Sedan is assigned access to Block A or P1, with standard spaces designed for Sedans, helping maximize space utilization.
• The RFID card for an SUV is assigned to Block B or P2, where larger parking spaces provide sufficient door-opening clearance and turning radius.
• The motorcycle card is permitted to pass through motorcycle lanes and access designated parking areas, preventing conflicts with car traffic.

Separate smart parking facility traffic flow for sedans, SUVs, and oversized vehicles

Many investors still allocate all cars to the same parking area. However, after a period of operation, SUVs and MPVs often take up more space, reducing the utilization efficiency of standard parking spaces.

In a smart parking facility, the software can configure each block according to vehicle size. When a card is scanned, the system automatically assigns the appropriate area instead of allowing vehicle owners to choose a parking space themselves.

• Vehicle type: Sedans, SUVs, oversized cars, or motorcycles are directed to blocks with suitable dimensions.
• Usage type: Visitor, monthly, quarterly, or annual parking cards, depending on each project’s policy.
• User group: Residents, employees, visitors, or partners, with each group granted access to the corresponding parking area.

This approach helps maintain stable occupancy rates across each block while preventing larger vehicles from occupying spaces intended for smaller ones. This is one of the reasons many parking facilities become overloaded quickly even when unused space remains available.

How does a puzzle smart parking facility manage vehicle flow?

For a puzzle smart parking facility, each pallet and block is designed for a specific load capacity and vehicle size. If an SUV is directed to a space intended for a Sedan, the system may not operate according to the designed process or may need to rearrange the entire vehicle retrieval sequence.

Therefore, from the moment an RFID card is issued, the software links the vehicle type to the corresponding pallet or block. When the vehicle enters, the system only allows access to the configured parking spaces.

This not only reduces waiting times but also minimizes manual adjustments, ensures that the mechanical equipment operates according to its design, and helps extend the service life of the entire system.

Car traffic flow management projects in smart parking facilities

At Hanoi Centre ( Tien Bo Plaza), Viet Chao has implemented puzzle smart parking facilities combined with RFID-based vehicle flow management.

When arriving at the parking facility, users simply scan their cards at the entrance. The system automatically verifies the information, opens the correct traffic lane, and directs the vehicle to the appropriate block. Drivers do not need to search for a parking space or wait for staff assistance; they simply park in the assigned space.

Once Viet Chao hands the system over to the operator, the entire traffic flow management process is automated through the software. This significantly reduces incorrect parking, peak-hour congestion, and improves the utilization efficiency of the smart parking facility, according to customer feedback.
