Norparc, the Windows-based level counting and parking guidance system from access control experts Nortech provides centralised count management, monitoring and guidance control for parking facilities that have multiple entry and exit points. Nortech’s car park counting solutions include a comprehensive range of high-intensity RGB variable message signs (VMS) that use low profile LED matrices offering bright, clear messages indicating available spaces and status messages.
Each VMS display panel can display count values of up to 5 digits and, depending upon the sign variant there are options to display ‘FULL’, ‘OPEN’ or ‘SPACE’ and direction arrows. The range includes single level internal and external signs plus self-contained multilevel information signs.
The software has many features that are ideal for individual and multi-level parking at education, hotel, leisure and airport parking facilities including, full colour display, LED optical system, weatherproof to IP65, and all the signs in the range are fully compatible with all of Nortech’s count management systems. In addition, signs are available as single count displays or multi-level displays with additional information such as heading, logos, symbols and individual count titles (e.g parking level, section, company name, etc.). Individually housed internal signs with built-in direction indicators are also available for use in multilevel car parks and other indoor parking facilities. The system also offers good visibility in all conditions as all signs have high-luminosity LEDs and an inbuilt automatic luminance control to suit variable lighting conditions.
Nortech’s count management systems offer a variety of ways to manage car park occupancy data and drive the message signs. From monitoring space availability in small car parks to the integrated management of large multi-level car parks, it can provide occupancy count management solutions for most requirements using standalone and networked count management and shared parking access control
