Parking, predicted — without a single sensor on the lot.
We can't instrument DND property, so we read the approach instead. Three signals blend into one honest number.
Live road traffic
We read the congestion a driver actually sees on the 417, Moodie and Carling approaches — the corridor jamming up is the earliest sign the lots are filling.
Weather + history
ECCC weather and day/time patterns set the baseline. Bad weather pushes the saturation cliff earlier.
Crowd reports
One tap from people on the ground. Anonymous, decaying fast — the freshest read on what's actually full.
Timing is the product.
Information about parking is only worth anything before you can still turn. We frame every read against your distance to the gate.
~10 km
Strategic pivot

Straight answers
Is this affiliated with DND or the Government of Canada?
No. Carling Parking is an independent app (Barker HRS, an iCalledit app). It uses public data + crowd reports; it isn't endorsed by or connected to DND.
How accurate is it?
It's a best-effort estimate, getting smarter as more people report. We're honest about it: every signal shows whether it's live or simulated, and it's a decision aid — not a guarantee. Drive safely.
Are my reports private?
Yes. Reports carry no identity and are never linked to your account — a hard privacy wall. Your billing and your reports can never be joined.
What does Premium cost?
$4.99 CAD/month. The live dashboard + map are free forever; Premium adds commute alerts, the hourly + next-morning forecast, and spot-swap.
