"Drones Can See What Staff on the Ground Cannot”
With Peter Richards of Parkalytics
In this episode of Parking Live, hosts Jade Neville and Matt Darst sit down with Peter Richards, CEO of Parkalytics and longtime curb management innovator, to explore how aerial data collection and smart analysis are reshaping what’s possible in parking operations.
Peter shares real-world case studies—from massive shopping centers to bustling market districts—where drone-based surveys are helping cities, agencies, and private operators make smarter, safer decisions.

- How drones are changing large-scale data collection, enforcement planning, and special events
- Why visual, time-based analytics beat old-school counts
- The role of technology in equitable curb policy
- What’s next in drone deployment for mega-events and freight logistics
