Faced with growing traffic around a busy junior high school, a major East Asian city’s parking management office needed a smarter way to manage parking congestion. Traditional methods were inefficient, leading to driver frustration, wasted time, and increased traffic flow issues.
Gorilla Technology delivered an AI-driven parking management solution that combined license plate recognition, real-time occupancy detection, and centralized control. The result: faster parking, less congestion, and a dramatically improved experience for drivers and administrators alike.
Case Studies
The Challenge
01
Congestion and Confusion
With limited visibility into parking availability, drivers often circling lots searching for open spaces – wasting time and adding to traffic congestion. Manual monitoring was labor-intensive and couldn’t keep up with demand.
02
A Need for Smarter Infrastructure
The city needed a solution that could provide real-time visibility, reduce manual oversight, and guide drivers efficiently to available spaces, while integrating seamlessly with existing systems.

Our Solution
AI Video Analytics for Occupancy Detection
Gorilla deployed license plate recognition (LPR) and video analytics to monitor parking space occupancy in real time. LED indicators on the ceiling guided drivers to available spots, reducing search time and frustration.
System Integration for Smarter Navigation
For the first time, drivers could record their vehicle’s location upon entry using integrated LPR technology – making it easier to find their car later and improving overall flow within the lot.
Centralized Management Platform
Parking administrators gained access to a unified dashboard showing real-time occupancy, usage trends, and system performance. This data-driven approach enabled smarter planning and reduced the need for manual oversight.
