You can view the number of vehicles parked in a parking zone, and the
percentage of occupancy, using the Zone occupancy task.
What you should know
You can also use the Zone occupancy report to search
for overtime rules and permit restrictions that occurred
in a zone. For example, on a university campus or in an airport, you can find out
the occupancy of a parking lot at certain times of the day. If the occupancy is
always at full capacity during that time, the report can help you determine that you
need more spots in your parking lot.
The percentage of occupancy of a parking zone is calculated differently whether the
Genetec
Patroller™ was used for
University
Parking Enforcement or for
City Parking Enforcement.
| Patroller configuration |
Percentage of occupancy |
| University Parking Enforcement |
Calculated using the specific zone selected in Genetec
Patroller™, which corresponds
to a single parking lot defined in an overtime rule or in a
permit restriction. |
| City Parking Enforcement |
- If an overtime rule is selected: calculated using all
parking lots defined within the rule.
- If no overtime rule is selected: occupancy cannot be
calculated because no parking lot is associated to a
permit. In this case the Spaces and Percentage
of occupancy columns will show 0.

To investigate the reads/hits reported in a parking zone:
-
From the home page, open the Zone occupancy
task.
-
Set up the query filter for your report. Choose one or more of the following
filters:
Custom fields:
Restrict the search to a predefined custom
field for the entity. This filter only appears if custom fields are
defined for the entity, and if the custom field was made visible to you
when it was created or last configured.
Hit rules:
Select the hit rules to include in the
report.
Overtime and permit
restriction:
Both rules have parking lots
configured and each parking lot can be defined in terms of a number of
parking spaces. This allows the occupancy to be estimated when selecting
these rules in Genetec
Patroller™.
Patrollers:
Restrict the search to Genetec
Patroller™ units (including all their
fitted LPR units).
Time range:
The time range for the report.
