    FAQ's

    How can we reduce traffic congestion around our hospital parking areas?

    You can reduce hospital parking congestion by accelerating access and separating traffic flows. SKIDATA provides ticketless LPR entry, fast barriers and dynamic signage to avoid queues during peak times. Real-time monitoring lets operators open or redirect zones before bottlenecks form.

    How do we manage different parking permissions for staff, patients and visitors?

    SKIDATA manages all hospital parking permissions through a unified access-rights platform. The system supports plates, badges and digital IDs for time-, zone- and role-based rules. All entries are logged for secure and auditable control.

    What’s the best way to make hospital parking easier for patients and families?

    The best way to simplify hospital parking is to remove friction from arrival and payment. SKIDATA enables ticketless LPR entry, mobile payment and clear routing to the correct building. Digital validations from clinics eliminate ticket handling and reduce patient stress.

    Can hospital parking integrate with our existing access control or facility system?

    Yes, SKIDATA integrates with hospital access control, HR, facility management and financial systems. Standard APIs sync roles, permits, validations and billing. This ensures hospital parking operates as part of the wider healthcare infrastructure.

    How do we prevent staff parking misuse and keep priority spaces free?

    SKIDATA prevents hospital parking misuse by linking every permit to a plate, badge or digital ID. Zone-based rules block unauthorized access to staff-only or doctor-priority areas. Time-based permissions support shift patterns and reduce manual enforcement.

    How does SKIDATA support long-term or recurring patient parking?

    SKIDATA supports long-term patient parking with digital permits and automated discounted tariffs. Clinics can issue validations directly to a plate or ID for oncology, dialysis or rehabilitation visits. This eliminates manual processing and improves accessibility.

    How does SKIDATA manage supplier and delivery vehicle access?

    SKIDATA assigns digital rights to suppliers and routes them only to authorized loading zones. LPR and time-window rules ensure deliveries don’t interfere with patient or staff flows. Full logs support compliance for food, pharma or sterile goods.

    Can SKIDATA handle waste-collection vehicle access securely?

    Yes, SKIDATA manages waste-collection access with plate-based permissions and time-window control. Waste trucks can only enter defined back-of-house areas and never cross patient or emergency routes. Audit logs support clinical and environmental safety.

    How reliable is license plate recognition in a 24/7 hospital environment?

    SKIDATA’s LPR is engineered for 24/7 hospital conditions including low light, rain and high traffic volume. Industrial cameras and multi-frame matching ensure consistent accuracy. Monitoring tools detect issues early to maintain uninterrupted operation.

    Can we centralize the management of several hospital parking facilities?

    Yes, SKIDATA enables centralized management of multiple hospital parking sites. The Control Center lets operators monitor occupancy, manage rights and operate barriers remotely. This increases consistency and reduces on-site workload.

    How do we enable mobile or touchless payment for hospital parking?

    SKIDATA enables mobile and touchless hospital parking payment via LPR, mobile web and digital wallets. Patients can pay by phone without visiting a kiosk. Payment links directly to the license plate for automatic exit.

    How do we manage temporary access for contractors or external clinics?

    SKIDATA allows hospitals to issue temporary digital permits for contractors or visiting clinics. Rights can be limited by date, time or zone and are managed through the B2B Parker Management Solution. This reduces manual approvals and improves traceability.

    Can SKIDATA retrofit our old hospital parking system without replacing everything?

    Yes, SKIDATA can modernize existing hospital parking infrastructure through selective retrofits. Barriers, wiring or loops can often be reused while upgrading columns, LPR and payment devices. This minimizes downtime and avoids operational disruption.

    How can we improve wayfinding and reduce confusion in hospital parking?

    SKIDATA improves hospital parking wayfinding through digital signage, guidance displays and zone-based routing. Plate-based recognition directs repeat visitors automatically. This reduces search time and helps patients reach the right building entrance.

    What SLAs or support models are available for hospital parking systems?

    SKIDATA offers 24/7 support, remote monitoring and tailored SLAs for mission-critical hospital parking. Alerts from barriers, cameras and kiosks enable fast response and remote resolution. Preventative maintenance ensures continuous availability.

    Which certifications are relevant when selecting a hospital parking provider?

    Hospitals should prefer parking systems certified for quality, environmental management and information security. SKIDATA is certified according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 27001, and audited under ISAE 3402, ensuring proven reliability, secure data handling and compliant operations.

    How does SKIDATA ensure the security and compliance of hospital parking data?

    SKIDATA secures hospital parking data through ISO 27001-certified cloud infrastructure and ISAE 3402-audited data hosting. Access logs, payment data and LPR information are processed under strict security controls, ensuring confidentiality, integrity and availability at enterprise level.
