Parking Science, Inc. (Headquarters: Fujisawa, Kanagawa; Representative Director: Naoya Inoue) announced its participation in the '3rd Location Business & Marketing EXPO2026 (LBM EXPO2026)', to be held on June 4 (Thursday) and 5 (Friday), 2026, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center Hamamatsucho Hall.

LBM EXPO2026 is one of Japan's largest specialized trade shows gathering the latest technologies and case studies in the location business sector, including location data, AI, crowd flow analysis, MaaS, and smart cities.

Under the theme 'Visualizing Urban Congestion from Parking Search Data,' the company will primarily showcase its 'Golden Week Tourist Movement Heat Map,' utilizing parking search data from the Golden Week period.

Background In recent years, traffic congestion, parking shortages, and tourist congestion have become social issues in tourist areas and cities due to the recovery of inbound tourism and large events. Conventional human flow data often fails to capture 'intent-to-move'—where people are heading, where car traffic concentrates, and where parking demand arises. By utilizing parking search data, our company is pursuing a new approach: 'analyzing urban congestion from parking behavior, not human flow.'

Exhibits 1. Golden Week Tourist Movement Heat Map Based on parking search location data from April 24 to May 11, 2026, the company will display a heat map visualizing nationwide search trends chronologically. The heat map will visualize: - Movement trends from urban areas to tourist destinations - Concentration of searches by time period - Flow along tourist routes - Changes in search demand by area This showcases 'urban activities seen through parking search data.'

2. P-Collection API The company will also exhibit the 'P-Collection API,' providing parking information. Use-case images for navigation systems, tourism services, and location-based services will be presented.
