(August 1, 2018) – CivicSmart, Inc., an innovator of highly accurate on-street parking sensors and other “Smart Parking” technologies, is pleased to celebrate our Third Anniversary this week.

 

Since the acquisition of Duncan’s US parking equipment business in 2015, CivicSmart has been focused on delivering innovative, reliable products and quality service to its 1,500 clients across 5 continents.

 

CivicSmart is continuing to look to the future by introducing a brand new website which highlights these innovations (http://www.civicsmart.com/). Cities are invited to explore our Smart Parking solutions and use the various contact methods, such as our new chat feature, to reach us directly with questions.

 

“Innovation has been at the core of our corporate DNA dating to 1936, and CivicSmart’s commitment to R&D over the past few years has resulted in the release of exciting new Smart Parking products,” said Balu Subramanya, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of CivicSmart.

 

These products include:

 

• Our “Liberty Next Gen” Smart Meter which offers unmatched features at an affordable price that allows any City to accept credit card payments.  The LNG is flexible enough to manage one space, two spaces, or multiple spaces, and to operate as a coin-only meter that is fully upgradeable to accept credit cards in the future.

• Our latest version of the leading “AutoISSUE Citation Enforcement Software” that offers real-time wireless data checks of payments, permits, scofflaws and stolen vehicles; GIS/GPS mapping to unleash officer productivity; an Enhanced LPR engine to read, check and “chalk” license plates in seconds; proven workflows, edit checks and business logic to increase accuracy; field reporting of meter outages, faded paint, damaged signs and abandoned vehicles; parking, traffic, and municipal code violation enforcement; and enhanced supervisory and data analytics to improve program performance.

• Our highly-accurate, radar-based “Vehicle Detection Sensor” that detects vehicle arrival and exit within a few seconds and can be mounted in the ground, on the pole, on the curb or on the road surface.  It is flexible enough for use in on-street environments, truck stops, and even to detect motorcycles.  Our sensors unlock an array of Benefits and Innovative Policies for Cities including real-time motorist guidance to vacant spaces, granting free meter time upon arrival, enabling variable and special event pricing, resetting meter time to zero upon departure, enhancing enforcement operations by displaying violations on handhelds, and providing real-time and historic occupancy data to assist City decision-making.

• Our new “On-street Reservation System” that allows Cities to offer motorists the ability to find and reserve premium on-street parking spaces. This pioneering product offers Cities a unique way to implement Demand-based Pricing and capture more of the value of their prime curb space.

 

“Whether it is revitalizing the legacy products we inherited from Duncan, developing and deploying new products globally, or integrating with Smart City offerings such as GE’s intelligent streetlights, I encourage Cities, Consultants and Parking Operators to check out our website and learn how our new offerings can benefit your programs,“ said Mike Nickolaus, CivicSmart President and CEO.
