The initial situation

The Hörnlebahn was facing a considerable loss of revenue as many users bypassed the parking ticket machines and were able to park unchallenged at off-peak times. Athletes in particular were using the system without paying fees or fearing consequences. This led to unfair conditions for paying customers and left valuable revenue unused. A barrier system was not an option due to the difficult access conditions on the slope, so a barrier-free and continuously functioning solution was urgently needed.

The solution

With the Wemolo solution, the Hörnlebahn was not only able to continuously monitor parking lot usage, but also increase customer satisfaction and willingness to pay. Thanks to seamless management, parking fees are charged fairly and equally to all parkers. Customers of the cable car now even receive a parking discount.

Reliable management around the clock:
The camera-based system and the all-round carefree package guarantee smooth operation at any time of day or night. Regardless of weather conditions such as snow and ice, the cameras reliably record all parking processes. Within just three months of its introduction, the number of parking violations was reduced by 92%, resulting in a significant improvement in parking space management.

User-friendly & fair parking system:
Thanks to the barrier-free system, users are able to enter and exit easily. The high-resolution entry and exit screens greet customers in a friendly manner and draw their attention to the barrier-free system. On exit, the screens remind parkers of any outstanding parking fees, which can be paid up to 24 hours after exit. This leads to a high level of acceptance of the system and a significant reduction in the number of non-payers. 59% of users prefer the convenience of paying by card at the machines, and customers of the cable car can discount their parking via a customer-friendly QR code flyer.

With the innovative, digital parking solution from Wemolo, the Hörnlebahn in Bad Kohlgrub has not only increased its revenue, but also created a fair and user-friendly parking system that can withstand even the harshest weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the installation of the Wemolo system cost?

The cost of installing the digital system varies depending on the site-specific conditions of the parking lot and its size. We will be happy to advise you in an initial non-binding consultation to develop a customized solution for your parking lot and provide you with an initial cost estimate. Please contact us and our parking 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 for the duration of the contract and is therefore not purchased by you. Wemolo is responsible for the reliable operation of the hardware. 

What requirements must the parking space meet?

Wemolo can find a solution for almost any parking space. In a non-binding consultation, we will be happy to show you what needs to be considered in your parking area. In principle, clearly recognizable entrances and exits, a power connection (230V) and good data reception (LTE/5G) are advantageous.

Where do you position the license plate scanners?

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

What measures are taken against third-party parking?

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

What is the local signage and labeling like? 

General terms and conditions and information signs are installed in every parking space to draw attention to the fact that this is a customer parking space with a corresponding maximum parking time. The corresponding contractual penalty for non-compliance is also clearly visible. In paid parking areas, these signs are supplemented by others that explain the parking process using the digital system. The signs are large and clearly visible at the entrances and exits and in the parking area. Vehicle owners agree to the T&Cs by driving into the parking lot. 

How does the optimization of parking space control with a camera system work?

Our digital parking space surveillance uses electronic means to monitor your parking spaces. Cameras use AI-based software to reliably record the license plates of all vehicles - without the need for a barrier.

Are the parking time limits in this system optimally designed?

The use of digital systems makes it possible to optimize parking times. The use of parking spaces is made efficient with the help of parking time limits and long parking times are avoided. The parking time limitation takes place in consultation with your individual needs at your location.

What are the advantages of digital parking space monitoring compared to conventional parking systems with parking discs and barriers?

Companies benefit from the fact that the search for a parking space is optimized for customers and thus a customer-friendly atmosphere is created, as nothing else has to be considered. By optimising parking lot monitoring, the workload for your employees is also reduced.
