Parking Zones - Overview

A zone is defined as a controlled area composed of one or more car parks and controlling one signs. A zone

provides the link between the status of a car park and the control of the driver information signs. From

information regarding the status of the assigned car parks the zone will determine a status for itself. The

zone will then use its own status to determine the setting for the sign assigned to it.

The status of a Zone can be one of:

● Spaces

● Almost Full

● Full

● Closed

● Blank

The zone status is derived from the car park status in one of two ways:

● By a majority 'vote' of the states of all the member car parks.

● By using a summed availability of spaces of all the member car parks and a set of thresholds for the

zone.

Depending upon the zone status it will send a message to a configured sign to set an aspect. Each sign

connected to a zone can be configured independently of other signs in the system.

A Zone is configured by selecting the

Zone Configuration Button from the main toolbar.
