The comprehensive parking guidance system provides an effective means to improve traffic flow, reduce emissions, increase parking revenues, and improve the overall customer experience.

“Both Swarco and McCain have supplied systems monitoring thousands of parking spaces worldwide, and we are now able to leverage the combined capabilities to address rapidly emerging market requirements in the Americas,” noted Carl McCollum, CEO of Swarco Traffic Americas.
