In 2025, 90% of AI Camera Parking Installations Were in Regional Cities: DataHax Launches Promotion Campaign

DataHax Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo; CEO: Yoheita Oishi) announced that over 90% of the sites (including prospective sites) for its 'DENNOU PARK' series in 2025 were located in regional cities. To encourage more operators to consider the system in 2026, the company is currently running three beneficial campaigns.

DENNOU PARK supports both cashless and cash payments. By providing 'meticulous service design' tailored to regional characteristics and user demographics, the company promotes parking DX that balances high convenience with reduced operational costs.

■ Three reasons why AI parking is spreading in regional areas:

1. Shift to unmanned operations due to labor shortages
Securing parking lot attendants has become increasingly difficult at regional commercial facilities and tourist spots. As AI parking assumes unmanned operation, there is no need to deploy staff, manage cash collection, or maintain payment machines, offering significant benefits to regions suffering from labor shortages.

(Installation Case)
- 'DENNOU GO,' which enables 'license plate payment' at coin parking lots, launched in Okayama Prefecture. It is a payment system that requires no parking tickets, payment machines, or time-consuming checkout procedures.

2. Reduction of construction burden via gate-less systems
Traditional parking lots required the installation of gates or flap plates, involving construction work. AI parking only requires the installation of AI cameras, eliminating large-scale civil engineering work. Operators expect improved profitability as it is easier to generate revenue due to lower initial investment, a significant benefit for regional areas where parking fees must be set lower than in Tokyo.

3. Changes in industry structure
With multiple AI parking services launching nationwide in recent years, installation cases in regional areas are increasing. This indicates a shift from uniform models provided by major operators to more diverse operating models centered on AI-based license plate recognition, cashless payments, and unmanned remote management, increasing choices across the industry.

(Installation Case)
- 'Libre Coin Parking Otemachi No. 1' opened in front of Shizuoka Station.

[About DENNOU PARK]
Utilizing cameras with proprietary AI algorithms, the system recognizes parked vehicles and manages parking times and fees. It eliminates steps traditionally required, such as 'stopping at gates,' 'issuing parking tickets,' and 'paying at machines,' realizing smart parking. As 'DENNOU PARK' can operate with minimal equipment such as AI cameras, operators can open parking lots at approximately half the cost of general parking systems.
