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.
