Dashboard and key figures
In production
One screen with the numbers a board otherwise asks for by email: how full it is, who is parked there, and what has changed since last time.
The parking dashboard in Min Beboer Parkering is the front page an administrator and a board arrive at: key figures for occupancy, active permits, guest days and control fees, each with its trend since the previous period. Below them sits the split between residents, visitors and unrecognised cars, occupancy over time, and the pattern of a typical week hour by hour. The period switches between seven days, 30 days and 12 months, and the panels follow.
Every number carries its change since the previous period. That is the difference between knowing occupancy is 86 per cent and knowing it has been climbing for six months. Only the second is something a board can act on.
How much of the parking is taken by residents, by visitors, and by cars the system does not recognise. The argument about whether outsiders are filling the site is hard to have without that number, and surprisingly short with it.
Occupancy hour by hour across the seven days. This is usually where it becomes clear that the problem is not the number of spaces but two hours in the evening, when everyone is home at once.
Yard, garage and street read separately. That matters when the pressure is uneven: an overall 84 per cent can hide a garage that never fills and a yard where nobody can park after six.
The board sees the figures themselves instead of having screenshots forwarded to them. It removes the recurring job of assembling an overview for every meeting, and the disagreement about where the numbers came from.
Permits, guest links, control rounds and payments produce data with nothing extra to type in. The dashboard starts filling from the day you go live, and gets more precise with automatic entry and exit.
Seven days answers what happened last week. Thirty days shows whether it holds. Twelve months shows whether this is a trend or the one busy month everybody remembers.
The key figures say what the situation is. The weekly pattern and the split say why. Those two questions are rarely answered by the same number, which is why they sit on one screen.
Use the screen as it is at a board meeting, or pull the numbers as a report for the annual meeting. A proposal to change the visitor rules ends in a decision more often when the occupancy sits next to it.
The dashboard is the overview: key figures, split and pattern on one screen, for seeing where things stand. The reports are extracts you can attach or keep. In practice most people start at the dashboard and pull a report when something has to be documented for someone other than the board itself.
Yes. Key figures, split and trend are built on registered permits, visitor permits and completed control rounds, which is enough to see who is allowed to park and how the visitor scheme is used. Actual duration and hour-by-hour occupancy only become precise with automatic entry and exit.
Yes, if the association is set up with that division. The area split is often the most used part of the screen, precisely because pressure is rarely even everywhere, and a single average can hide the exact spot the complaints are about.
Because it describes a typical week rather than a particular one. The key figures, the split and the curve follow the period you pick; the weekly pattern is an average of the daily rhythm, and it is meant to stay put while the rest moves.
The dashboard shows the position as registered when the page loads. It is not a live picture of who is parked there this minute — it is an account of what has been registered, and for the decisions a board makes, that is the right resolution anyway.
