Aisin begins parking management system trial at Tressa Yokohama

Aisin has launched a one-year demonstration experiment of a parking management support system at the South Building multi-story parking lot of the Tressa Yokohama commercial facility in Kanagawa Prefecture. The trial, running from September 2026 to August 2027, aims to improve visitor convenience by addressing common issues such as parking congestion and difficulty locating parked vehicles.

The system utilizes vehicle and position detection technology developed through Aisin’s automotive parts business. It features two primary functions: real-time visualization of estimated exit times and a parking location search service. By analyzing camera footage to calculate vehicle stagnation and driving speeds, the system provides real-time exit time predictions for various floors and exits via a smartphone web interface accessed through QR codes.

Additionally, visitors can locate their vehicles by entering the last four digits of their license plate number into their smartphones. The system matches this input with images captured upon vehicle entry via a cloud-based process. Unlike traditional methods based on historical data, this system reflects real-time congestion levels to provide more accurate predictions.
