Troubleshooting occupancy sensor data discrepancies in parking applications. Focus on API responses, caching issues, and token invalidation. SaaS architecture.
This information is usually available from the app developer or within the app documentation.
Check the app developer's website or support channels for announcements.
This is managed by the parking lot operator. Contact them for details.
The application relies on occupancy sensor data transmitted via an API. The API response is cached to improve performance. The sensor data itself can be affected by environmental conditions (temperature), data transmission errors (packet loss), or sensor calibration drift. The displayed information is also subject to TLS/SSL encryption for secure transmission. API tokens might expire, leading to stale data.
The parking application displays 'No Parking Zones Available' despite the parking lot visibly having available spaces. This indicates a discrepancy between the actual occupancy and the data reported by the application.
Implement regular cache invalidation policies within the application. Ensure proper API token management, including automatic token refresh mechanisms. Monitor API response codes for error conditions and implement alerting. Periodically calibrate occupancy sensors to maintain accuracy. Monitor server resources to prevent processing errors.
Use the application's 'Help' or 'About' section to check the version number and connection status. Sometimes, a forced update or reset within the app can clear corrupted data.
