Problem
Inefficient parking management leads to increased traffic congestion, wasted time searching for available spaces, and difficulties in monitoring parking time limits and reserved parking areas. Traditional parking solutions often lack real-time data and integration with mobility apps, hindering overall urban mobility and sustainability efforts.
Solution
CityZ offers a comprehensive smart parking solution that utilizes real-time monitoring and data analytics to optimize parking management. The system employs ultrathin, adhesive smart sensors placed on the road surface to detect the status of parking spaces and communicate this data via LoRaWan to the CityZ platform. This enables real-time monitoring of parking stall occupancy, integration with municipal and mobility apps through APIs, and specific services such as e-mobility parking control, timed parking monitoring, and reserved parking management. The platform provides insights into parking space availability, occupancy patterns, and potential violations, enhancing operational efficiency and improving the user experience.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes municipalities, parking management companies, logistics warehouses, and providers of mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) applications seeking to improve parking efficiency and enhance urban mobility.
