📈 How to Use the Parking History & Insights Tool

SmartParkSD – Make Smarter Decisions with Data

📊 Step 1: View Historical Occupancy Graphs

Once selected, you’ll see graphs showing past availability patterns:

  • Hour-by-hour parking trends
  • Weekday vs. weekend differences
  • Occupancy rates over time

⏳ Use the time range selector to zoom in or view long-term trends.

📅 Step 2: Compare by Day and Time

Use filters to compare data:

  • Specific days of the week
  • Peak vs. off-peak hours
  • Event days (if available)

🔍 This helps identify when spots are usually free or full.

🧠 Step 3: Use Insights for Planning

The goal is to predict the best times to park based on past data.
Combine this with prediction tools for best results.

🚀 Example: “This spot is usually empty before 9 AM on weekdays.”

✍️ Step 4: Give Feedback

If you notice outdated or unclear data:

👍 The chart matched what I’ve seen
👎 It didn’t
📝 Leave a note to explain

Feedback improves how data is presented and interpreted.
