3.1.5 What are the Hours of Operation for Car Park Requirement Place data requests require data on opening times. However, these can be complex, varying by: • • • •
Day of the week, month, or year. Opening at certain times to a limited group of eligible customers (e.g. out of hours access for residents only). Differing opening times for entry and exit. Differing access arrangements by time of day (e.g. certain entries closed, emergency release arrangements, etc.).
A typical connected car can make a relatively simple request – when is the Place open? Bearing in mind that a typical parking event may involve an overstay, the exchange should be more nuanced. The connected car might have to exclude a Place that closes 5 minutes before a customer leaves. Data Request Example • • • • •
Place, SubplaceElement, IdentifiedArea identifier Anticipated arrival date/time. Anticipated departure date/time. Place access/exit closure time. Out of hours emergency access arrangements.
Data Response Example • • • •
