Background
Bulleen Park & Ride is a crucial transportation hub located in Melbourne's northeastern suburbs, serving as a key interchange point for commuters traveling between the suburbs and the city centre. It plays an essential role in alleviating traffic congestion on the city's roads and providing a convenient and efficient alternative for commuters.
With the increasing number of commuters using the facility, the demand for efficient parking solutions has become more critical. The Bulleen Park & Ride facility had been experiencing several challenges, including high traffic volume, user frustration due to the difficulty in finding available parking spaces, and inefficient utilisation of the parking area. These issues were leading to congestion, delays, and a less-than-ideal experience for the users of the facility.
Objectives
To enhance parking operations and elevate the customer experience at Sky Stadium, the venue will implement CDS's advanced parking management software solutions, iPark and PARKi. These technologies will streamline real-time monitoring of parking spaces and automate entry and exit processes, reducing congestion and wait times.
Enhance User Experience
Elevated overall user satisfaction by providing clear, dynamic guidance and reducing frustration.
Reduce Search Time
Minimized the time drivers spend searching for available parking spots with accurate, real-time information.
Improve Efficiency
Optimised parking space utilisation through real-time monitoring and management.
Streamline Traffic Flow
Improved internal traffic flow, reducing congestion and enhancing safety within the parking facility.
Solutions and Implementations

Solutions
Parking Guidance System:
- Installation of Sensors: Sensors were installed at each parking space to monitor occupancy in real-time. These sensors communicated data to a central management system.
- Real-time Data Integration: The central management system processed the data and updated the availability status across the entire parking facility.
Counters:
- Entrance and Exit Counters: Counters were installed at all entry and exit points to track the number of vehicles entering and leaving the facility.
- Real-time Occupancy Display: The counters provided real-time information on the number of available parking spaces, displayed prominently at the entrance.
Signage:
- Dynamic Signage: Digital signs were strategically placed at key decision points within the facility. These signs displayed real-time information about available parking spaces in different sections of the parking lot.
- Directional Guidance: Signs were installed to guide drivers to the nearest available parking space, reducing search time and improving traffic flow.
- Project Planning: Detailed planning was undertaken to ensure minimal disruption during the installation of sensors, counters, and signage.
- Collaboration with Stakeholders: Regular communication with stakeholders, including local authorities and transportation agencies, ensured a smooth implementation process.
- Testing and Calibration: Comprehensive testing and calibration of the system were conducted to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Implementations
Results
Reduced Search Time
The time taken for drivers to find available parking spaces was significantly reduced, leading to a smoother and more efficient parking experience.
Enhanced User Satisfaction
The implementation of the parking guidance system, counters, and signage led to a noticeable improvement in user satisfaction, with positive feedback from regular users.
Optimised Space Utilisation
The facility experienced better utilisation of available parking spaces, reducing instances of overcrowding and underutilisation.
Improved Traffic Flow
The overall traffic flow within the parking facility improved, reducing congestion and enhancing safety.
Conclusion
The implementation of a parking guidance system, counters, and signage at Bulleen Park & Ride has successfully addressed key parking challenges, leading to a more efficient and user-friendly parking experience.
This case study demonstrates the importance of integrating technology and clear communication in modernising parking facilities to meet the needs of contemporary urban environments.
