Live Parking and Shopper Counts Across Outlet Centers
The second-largest outlet operator in North America used Safari AI to count vehicles in and out of its lots and measure shopper traffic across its centers.
Measured from newly installed parking and walkway cameras
Full lots and busy facilities were spotted too late.
On peak shopping days, lots filled unevenly and drivers circled while another lot sat half empty. Inside the center, restroom and facility cleaning followed a fixed schedule rather than the crowd.
- Lot capacity was unknown until drivers started circling
- Traffic trends were estimated, not measured
- Facility maintenance ran on a fixed schedule, not actual use
Cars and shoppers, counted from the entrance to the restrooms.
Connected new parking and walkway cameras via an on-premise server
Newly installed lot, entrance and walkway cameras fed a lightweight on-premise server Safari AI deployed, so video was processed on site.
Counted vehicles in and out, and shoppers by area
Computer vision counted every vehicle at lot entrances and exits, and shoppers moving through retail areas and key facilities.
Showed live capacity and traffic trends
Dashboards showed each lot's remaining capacity, traffic by hour and area, and facility use, across locations.
Note: Illustrative data
Easier parking, cleaner facilities, better decisions.
Entry and exit counts showed each lot's remaining space in real time, so drivers are sent to open lots before overflow.
People counts across retail areas revealed traffic trends and capacity needs that shape operating decisions.
Restroom and facility traffic drove maintenance schedules, so cleaning follows the crowd.
Action Center: From Insight to Action.
Measurements like these feed Safari AI's Action Center, which redirects drivers and sends maintenance teams where the crowd is heading.
- 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.
See this at your own centers.
This outlet operator measured parking and shopper traffic across its centers with Safari AI on newly installed cameras. We'll walk through which lots and areas are the best fit for a pilot.
