| Tygron products utilize gaming technology as their driving force, most notably the 3D visualization. This technology does mean a computer must meet certain requirements to be able to run Tygron products. Your hardware is automatically categorized into the following scores. The total score of your computer is based on the lowest scoring component, and will affect both the default graphical settings and the ability to load in larger project areas.

| :''*'' We have found that NVIDIA cards provide the best stability in comparison to Intel and AMD. Therefore, we can strongly advise NVIDIA Geforce GT1050 for desktop computers and NVIDIA Geforce GT1050M for laptops (or better). We recommend looking for cards in the high-end consumer segment (GeForce), as the {{software}} does not make use of the extreme-precision capabilities of the more expensive Quadro cards.

| Virtual environments are currently not supported. The {{software}}'s 3D visualization is one of its basic functionalities. To properly render a 3D environment as performant as possible, the software requires being run on a physical computer. Virtualization software (such as Citrix or VMware) is currently not supported, because the speed of 3D rendering is significantly reduced by virtualization, which abstracts direct access to the GPU, slowing the process of rendering the 3D environment.

| | The mandated compliance rate is set by the neighborhood's REQUIRED_PARKING_COMPLIANCE_RATE attribute. This is not a required attribute. If the neighborhood does not have that attribute, the mandated compliance rate is equal to the compliance target of the [[Parking (Indicator)|Parking Indicator]]. If there is no such indicator in the project, the mandated compliance rate is 1. |
| For web-based interactions with the {{software}}, such as the [[web interface]], the latest (stable) versions of the following browsers are supported:

| ===Hardware=== | | ==Additional configurations== |
| Because the {{software}} is 3D visualization software, the various hardware requirements list above must all be met. A brief clarification of why each requirement is relevant:
| | The Parking alert will work out-of-the-box. It should be loaded into the project as a [[Template Panel]], and templated on Neighborhoods. |
| ====CPU====
| |
| The processor is the general "computing" part of a computer, performing most functions of a computer. General responsiveness of the application and the computer itself are dictated by the processor.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====RAM====
| | The alert will automatically support Dutch and English, based on the project's language settings. |
| The memory of a computer is what allows it to actively work with data. The more memory a computer has, the more data it can keep at the ready simultaneously. | |
|
| |
|
| ====GPU====
| | For additional configuration, a neighborhood can be provided with a REQUIRED_PARKING_COMPLIANCE__RATE attribute. See also [[How to add an attribute]] |
| Often in the form of a videocard, the graphical processor deals with all visualization matters. This component makes the 3D visualization of the {{software}} possible.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====Screen resolution====
| | [[Category:Index]] |
| The {{software}} is a complex tool, and require sufficient screen space to allow an overview of all options and information panels.
| |
| | |
| ====Internet connection====
| |
| The core technology of the {{software}} is cloud-based. Your computer needs to be able to visualize the application and keep data about the project available, but the really heavy lifting in terms of calculations is done in the cloud. This means you need to be connected to the internet, and the better your internet connection the more responsive the application will be when dealing with data updates.
| |
| | |
| ===Software===
| |
| The ability to support the use of specific software can be based on a variety of decision. A brief clarification on the supported software:
| |
| | |
| ====Browser====
| |
| At the time of writing, Microsoft's Internet Explorer is only available on Windows for legacy reasons, and Microsoft is actively encouraging users to switch to more modern browsers. Additionally, Microsoft's Edge is not fully supported.

General
What is the Parking alert?
The parking alert is a panel with a 3D icon which warns users when the amount of parking facilities in a given neighborhood is insufficient to comply with general demand or legislative requirements. This alert is useful for:
- Urban development projects
- Different spatial plans are compared in the 3D world
The alert appears in the 3D world when the amount of parking facilities required exceed the amount of parking facilities provided in a given neighborhood. The resulting panel will display the availability, demand, compliance rate, and remaining demand. The color of the popup of the alert will change based on the compliance deficit.
Alert panel
The alert panel shows the following information:
- The amount of parking lots available.
- The amount of parking lots demanded.
- The current compliance rate.
- The mandated compliance rate.
- The amount of parking lots which need to be added to meet the mandated compliance rate.
Calculation
The panels appears when 
where
is the current amount of parking lots
is the amount of parking lots demanded
is the current compliance rate
is the mandated compliance rate
The mandated compliance rate is set by the neighborhood's REQUIRED_PARKING_COMPLIANCE_RATE attribute. This is not a required attribute. If the neighborhood does not have that attribute, the mandated compliance rate is equal to the compliance target of the Parking Indicator. If there is no such indicator in the project, the mandated compliance rate is 1.
The current amount of parking lots and the demanded amount of parking lots is determined with the Function Value.
Additional configurations
The Parking alert will work out-of-the-box. It should be loaded into the project as a Template Panel, and templated on Neighborhoods.
The alert will automatically support Dutch and English, based on the project's language settings.
For additional configuration, a neighborhood can be provided with a REQUIRED_PARKING_COMPLIANCE__RATE attribute. See also How to add an attribute
