International fashion labels, famous designers, lifestyle, accessories and top-class gastronomy - the Outletcity Metzingen attracts around 4.2 million visitors from 185 nations every year.
Metzingen is the first and largest outlet location in Germany. The city is therefore often referred to as the "capital of factory outlets". It ranks among the most important shopping cities for foreign tourists in Germany for years.
The outlet city Metzingen is managed by the Holy AG - founded by the grandchildren of the famous textile entrepreneur Hugo Boss.
With currently over 3,500 well signposted parking spaces in the shopping city, there are no long distances to your favourite shopping store.
Aware of available areas
In order to start the shopping experience in a positive way already when looking for a parking space and to keep it in good memory, car drivers are quickly guided to the next available parking space via dynamic traffic guidance technology from MSR-Traffic or via app.
Apart from the time saved and the good feeling of knowing where the next free parking space is, the environment is protected. In addition, the profitability of the parking areas is increased.
Optimally used parking spaces can thus reduce ventilation and environmental costs.

Control of the single space and counting sensor technology by CROSS ultrasonic sensors and counting bars
For single space detection, almost half of the total parking area including new buildings is equipped with ultrasonic sensors from MSR-Traffic.
Additional counting bars ensure the counting of vehicles entering and leaving the car parks.
The installation of the single space and counting sensors is carried out under the ceiling, on plaster or on a rail.
Compared to conventional measuring techniques, MSR-Traffic sensors are quicker to install, have a longer service life and provide extremely precise measuring results.
Perfect control with the ParkGard Control Center
The availability of each individual parking space is recorded, and then controlled and managed by the MSR-Traffic ParkGard® Control Center.
The resulting occupancy status is shown on LED displays at the entrance and per level.
In this way, customers can be guided directly to the next available parking space. This not only makes searching easier and reduces traffic in the garage, but also saves the customer valuable time.

The displays are used to show various texts, numbers, arrows or as information boards.
They are also widely used, for example, in:
- stadiums
- advertising
- banks
- security services
- restaurants
- bus/train stations
The information is transmitted to the sign board via a serial/ethernet interface.
With the amazing visual performance and the modular design this is the best solution for versatile indoor or outdoor applications for traffic signs, e.g. for:
- way guidance
- remaining spaces display
- handicap display
- charging stations (animated display)
