Beachgoers find parking quickly thanks to MobiMaestro
The fashionable beach resort Noordwijk aan Zee is always busy, and particularly so on sunny days. Thanks to MobiMaestro, motorists are guided smoothly to available parking places. Dynamic route information panels streamline the traffic flow. With parking-seeking traffic under control, Noordwijk aan Zee is a pleasant destination for beachgoers in all seasons.
Insight into traffic flows and parking locations
Motorists looking for parking in Noordwijk aan Zee are guided to the parking route or ‘P-route’, which skirts the center of town. The municipality’s Traffic & Transport Department has several ways of obtaining data about traffic and parking places: from measurement loops to parking sensors in individual parking spots. This data is combined and visualized in MobiMaestro, giving the Traffic & Transport Department permanent insight into traffic flows. The real-time occupation of parking places is similarly visualized on a map in MobiMaestro.
Regulation scenarios for busy days and events
The MobiMaestro modules PAGE and DISPLAY control the dynamic route information panels (DRIPs) and parking displays along the parking route. The information on these displays helps motorists looking for parking to find available spots quickly and smoothly. We have created regulation scenarios for particularly busy days and large events. These scenarios include settings for parking guidance and diversions, and they can be activated at the press of a button. Staff at the Traffic & Transport Department can easily adjust the scenarios themselves.
Little disturbance from traffic looking for parking
Thanks to MobiMaestro, Noordwijk aan Zee experiences minimal disturbance from traffic looking for parking. Motorists receive clear information and almost always find a parking place quickly. MobiMaestro also displays information on the Province of Zuid-Holland’s DRIPs along the provincial roads. If necessary, the Traffic & Transport Department of Noordwijk aan Zee can display information on the province’s DRIPs, for example to offer alternative routes to the beach.
