Hey guys,

After spending half a day with the new Flash system in Beverly Hills, I thought I would give some driver feedback
(and my suggestions).

About half of the drivers seemed frustrated with the parking experience based on these most common complaints…

ENTRANCE

  • Didn’t understand if Rite Aid parking was free
    Suggestion:
    Add signage to side of terminal (see
    Mock-up 1 below)

  • Couldn't understand what to do once they arrived
    (due to too much information on the screen or not being fluent in English)

    Suggestions:

    A) Add label directly to terminal in Spanish and English (see Mock-up 2 below)

    B) Update Flash user-interface with only two buttons on screen (see Mock-up 3 below)

  • Couldn't easily access Get a Ticket button
    (due to physical location on terminal and when in small cars that were low to the ground)

  • Couldn't remove ticket easily

    Suggestion:
    If possible, remove black paper guide so drivers can grab a hold of a larger portion of the ticket more firmly
    (especially when in an SUV)

EXIT

  • Being too far from terminal

    Suggestion:
    Remove yellow pole

  • Some drivers said they got validated inside but screen indicated payment was needed

  • No on-screen call-to-action after inserting credit card

    Suggestions:

    A) Use P-Touch label next to credit card reader saying: "Remove Quickly" (see Mock-up 4 below)

    B) Update Flash user-interface to say: "Insert Card and Remove Quickly" (see Mock-up 5 below)

  • Help feature is too slow to connect
