The old barrier system in the Nettergasse parking garage was maintenance-intensive and prone to repairs. As a result, it caused considerable maintenance costs and tied up personnel resources that were urgently needed elsewhere. In addition, long-term parkers exploited the system's weak points by passing on parking cards, which led to significant losses in turnover. The lack of collection of usage data was also particularly problematic, leaving potential for the development of smart mobility solutions untapped. A modern solution was urgently needed to meet the requirements of a modern city.
As a pioneer of the future, Wemolo has enabled the city of Dormagen to successfully make parking management more efficient and lay the foundations for the mobility transition by collecting relevant data. The camera-based parking solution offers users a convenient, digital experience while ensuring cost-efficient and reliable management.
Cost-efficient & reliable operation:
The camera-based system in combination with the all-round carefree package ensures trouble-free operation around the clock. Wemolo takes care of all planning, communication and problem solving relating to parking management. Cost-intensive breakdowns and regular maintenance of barrier systems are eliminated, reducing operating costs and increasing reliability.
Useful data analyses for the mobility transition:
Detailed data analyses provide Stadtwerke Dormagen with valuable insights into what is happening in the parking garage. This data creates transparency about capacity utilization, the origin of users and the proportion of e-vehicles, which provides important insights for future traffic planning and the promotion of sustainable mobility concepts.
User-friendly & fair parking system:
The new, modern parking system in Dormagen has been extremely well received by users. High-resolution screens show parkers if there are any outstanding charges, which can be paid for conveniently up to 24 hours after leaving the car park. More than half of users pay by card at one of the stylish pay stations before leaving the car park. These measures have greatly increased acceptance of the new system in Dormagen. After an introductory phase, 99.5% of parkers no longer have any queries and can use the system without any errors.

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