April 2014 Stuttgart, April 8, 2014 - A study conducted by APCOA PARKING, Europe's leading parking manager, surprisingly concludes that younger drivers are less skilled at parking than older drivers. In Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, students from the Dual Hochschule Baden - Württemberg (DHBW) in Mannheim conducted a survey with hundreds of drivers, APCOA PARKING noted the time needed to park and interviewed the drivers. In the group of drivers aged 18 to 25, it took an average of 22 seconds to park their cars. While the driver group aged 55 to 65 took an average of 15 seconds to complete the maneuver. The survey also measured how many steering wheel movements each group needed to park. It turned out that the drivers aged 55 to 65 needed only 1.6 steering movements to complete the maneuver, while their younger colleagues needed an average of 1.8 steering movements. In directe vergelijking met hun mannelijke bestuurders , bleken vrouwen sneller bij het inparkeren. Aan de hand van het onderzoek bleek dat vrouwelijke bestuurders slechts 17 seconden nodig hadden om te parkeren, terwijl mannelijke bestuurders drie seconden langer nodig hadden. Vrouwelijke bestuurders gebruikten daarentegen meer stuurbewegingen om te parkeren(1,62) in vergelijking met mannelijke bestuurders(1,5). Elektronische bedieningselementen zoals parkeersensoren bleken echte " tijd veelvraten " te zijn. Gemiddeld hadden bestuurders met behulp van parkeersensoren 21 seconden nodig om te parkeren , terwijl auto’s zonder parkeersensoren werden geparkeerd in slechts 15 seconden. 13. July 2012 On May 3, Apco Belgium in Antwerp introduced the charging station for electric cars. The intention is to equip all Apcoa car parks with such charging points. At the same time, Apcoa Belgium presented its electric vehicle with which the technicians will move to maintain the parking machines in Antwerp. From June 2010, a reduced nightly rate was introduced for parking in our car parks in Antwerp. Between 19:00 and 01:00 you pay a maximum of € 6 in the Scheldekaaien Noord, Scheldekaaien Zuid and Parking Century car parks. This is only € 5 in the Sint Jansplein car park and only € 3 in the parking lot of the Court of Justice.
