DataHax Deploys AI Camera Parking System “DENNOU PARK” at Parking Lot Operated by Major Kansai Railway Group Company

DataHax Inc. has introduced and begun operating its AI camera parking system, “DENNOU PARK,” at a parking facility operated by a group company affiliated with a major railway operator in the Kansai region. At the site, the company converted the existing facility into a next-generation coin parking lot with minimal construction by retaining existing signage and payment equipment where possible, removing only the lock plates, and installing AI cameras. Background: Conventional coin parking lots have long faced challenges such as repair and replacement costs caused by aging lock plates and gate equipment, as well as responses to equipment failures. In regional cities, operators often find it difficult to make large investments in equipment upgrades while still needing easier maintenance. This deployment reused the existing signage and layout, removed flap plates, managed vehicles with AI cameras, and completed the transition in a short period without large-scale civil engineering work. It addresses demand for upgrading to the latest AI camera parking system while making use of existing assets, reducing maintenance costs and future renewal burdens. Renewal overview and key points: The project removed lock plates and the old payment machine, and installed camera poles, cameras, and a DENNOU payment machine. Removing lock plates reduces equipment maintenance costs. Existing vacancy/full signage is reused by connecting it to the DENNOU PARK system. Three AI cameras manage 14 parking spaces, enabling low-cost entry and exit management. The former cash-only payment machine was replaced with a cashless-compatible DENNOU payment machine. Since usage information is stored as cloud data, payment machine data can also be used for marketing. As regional cities face population decline and labor shortages, parking lot operations increasingly require low cost, labor saving, and safety. DENNOU PARK is expanding mainly in regional cities as a system that enables practical DX while making use of existing parking facilities. DataHax says it will continue contributing to sustainable parking operations and urban development while responding to local needs. DENNOU PARK is a new coin parking system that uses proprietary AI technology. AI cameras and cloud servers recognize parked vehicles and manage entry and exit times, usage fees, and related information. Unlike conventional parking operations that require flap plates, loop coil sensors, gates, ticket machines, and payment machines, DENNOU PARK can operate using AI cameras. Users can pay parking fees cashlessly from a smartphone using credit cards, PayPay, and other methods. DataHax Inc. is headquartered at 3-27-15 Sakagami Building 7F, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. Its businesses include AI parking, AI license plate recognition and analytics, and AI traffic volume surveys.
