ParkIndy and Streetline Bring Smart Parking Technology to Indianapolis

Parking System Implemented by Xerox Uses Latest Technology

FOSTER CITY, Calif. and INDIANAPOLIS, March 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Streetline, Inc. (http://www.streetline.com) and ParkIndy, a public-private partnership between the city and Xerox, are now making it easier to find parking in Indianapolis. Using Streetline's sensor-enabled Smart Parking system, Parker(TM), a free smartphone app, motorists can see open parking spaces in real-time, reducing the time and energy spent searching for elusive parking.

Sensors embedded in the pavement detect when spaces are available. Parker provides the location and general availability of spaces through the use of web-enabled devices, such as a smartphone, PC, or tablet. Once parked, motorists can use the app's built-in timer to track of how much time is left on the meter, or access walking directions to help find their parking space when they need to return to their vehicle.

"Our goal is to take the pain out of parking," said David Cummins, vice president parking and justice solutions, Xerox. "We created a customized solution offering credit-card accepting meters, pay-by-phone technology and now new directional guidance apps from Streetline to make parking easier than ever in Indianapolis."

Some of the notable features of Parker include:

    --  Real-time information in select areas of the City to guide consumers to
        open and available curbside parking spaces; Parker updates automatically
        when a car is parked or leaves
    --  "Follow me" navigation with a native map application to guide motorists
        to their chosen parking destination
    --  Easy access to rates, hours and time limits for metered and on-street
        parking where available
    --  The ability to enter an address within Parker and view parking options
        nearest to that destination
    --  Mark areas on the Parker map to keep track of where a car is parked (and
        later get guidance back to the car), set reminders, take a picture of a
        car and take notes about the location. Parker also saves parking history
        data for easy access later
    --  Rate and comment on parking locations and set reminders noting great
        locations
    --  Option to register and pay for parking via mobile payment partner
        Parkmobile
"ParkIndy chose Streetline to bring the latest parking technology to the City of Indianapolis," said Zia Yusuf, CEO of Streetline. "By deploying Streetline's patented sensor-technology, including the award-winning consumer app Parker, ParkIndy is paving the way to introduce one of the most advanced parking systems in the United States--and making searching for parking for Indianapolis drivers a thing of the past."

In Indianapolis the system is currently deployed along more than 550 individual parking spots along Mass Avenue, Broad Ripple, and near Monument Circle with plans to install additional sensors throughout downtown and Broad Ripple later this year.

Xerox leads a team, including Streetline, to implement a similar system in Los Angeles. Xerox has successfully managed, and operated parking systems in more than 30 cities in the United States and 88 jurisdictions in the United Kingdom during the past 30 years. Xerox is the largest provider of transportation services to governments worldwide, with projects in more than 30 countries.

Parker(TM) is available as a free download at iTunes and the Android Market.
