The initial situation

The Odysseum in Cologne, a popular adventure museum with large numbers of visitors, faced considerable challenges in parking space management. During performance times, the simultaneous rush of visitors led to traffic jams and long waiting times at barriers and ticket machines. This impaired the visitor experience and caused dissatisfaction among museum visitors.

The solution

With the Wemolo solution, the Odysseum was able to specifically solve the problem of traffic jams and long waiting times. The new, barrier-free system and flexible payment options reduce peak loads, create smooth processes and sustainably improve the visitor experience.

Congestion-free entry and exit: the installation of three state-of-the-art camera systems has eliminated the barriers that previously caused traffic jams. Even during performance changes, visitors can now enter and exit quickly and without delay.

Flexible and time-saving payment: Modern pay stations allow card payment on site, while the online payment option and integration of the EasyPark app provide additional flexibility. Visitors can conveniently pay their fees in advance or up to 24 hours after leaving. This saves time, reduces crowds at machines and gives everyone the opportunity to adapt parking to their own schedule.

With the digital system, waiting times and traffic jams are a thing of the past. Visitors enjoy stress-free processes, even on busy days. This makes a visit to the Odysseum an all-round successful experience.

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.
