Parking That Recognized Every Guest on Arrival
JBG SMITH used Safari AI at its Experience Center to reserve stalls for visiting guests by license plate and track parking occupancy in real time.
Measured from existing parking cameras
First impressions started in the parking lot.
Visitors to the leasing experience center arrived by car, often for the first time. When their stall was taken or nobody knew they were coming, the front desk spent the first minutes sorting out parking instead of welcoming a prospective tenant.
- Reserved guest stalls were taken by unauthorized vehicles
- Front desk staff checked plates and stalls by hand
- There was no live view of how full the lot was before guests arrived
Every stall and every plate, matched in real time.
Connected to parking cameras via an on-premise server
Existing garage and lot cameras fed a lightweight on-premise server Safari AI deployed, so video was processed on site.
Read plates and classified vehicles
License plate recognition and make, model and color classification matched each arriving car to its guest booking.
Tracked occupancy and flagged violations
A live view showed stall occupancy and alerted enforcement when an unauthorized vehicle took a reserved space.
Note: Illustrative data
A welcome that starts in the parking lot.
Each guest's stall was reserved against their plate and vehicle description, so their space is waiting when they pull in.
Real-time stall occupancy showed the front desk who had arrived and how full the lot was, without walking it.
Unauthorized vehicles in reserved stalls were flagged to enforcement as they parked, so guests no longer circle the lot.
Action Center: From Insight to Action.
Measurements like these feed Safari AI's Action Center, which alerts the right person when a reserved stall is taken or a guest is about to arrive.
- Real-time recommendations to improve KPIs via email, SMS, robocall, mobile app, Power BI, or API.
- Recommendations grounded in your own written SOPs, not generic best practices.

JBG SMITH welcomed Experience Center guests with parking that recognized them, using cameras already on site. We'll walk through which lots and garages are the best fit for a pilot on your cameras.
