An app from the urbanOS ecosystem

Know how your cityreally parks.

Smart Parking makes parking measurable: live occupancy per zone, vacancy and always-full patterns, monitored special bays — the data foundation your parking decisions were missing.

Parking decisions in most cities are made by gut feeling: nobody knows which zones are chronically full, which sit empty, whether the disabled bay is actually free. Smart Parking measures it — and turns parking policy into a data question.

Why it matters

Parking policy without data is just guessing.

Occupancy, vacancy, misuse — until now anecdotes. Smart Parking replaces gut feeling with measured utilization per zone, hour and bay type.

Utilization per zone

Which zones run full when, which stay empty — live and as a pattern over weeks.

Special bays monitored

Disabled, e-charging, resident bays: occupancy and misuse per bay type, verifiable.

Less circling traffic

Guidance to free bays shortens search traffic — measurably less CO₂ and noise.

Value

From counting to reshaping.

The real value isn’t the free bay — it’s the pattern behind it: zones that are full at 9 am and dead at 8 pm, e-bays that are never used, resident zones under pressure.

On that data foundation you re-dedicate bays together with traffic planners — evidence-based instead of complaint-based.

  • Occupancy patterns per zone, hour & bay type
  • Always-full & chronically-empty zones identified
  • Re-dedication planned on data, with experts

Anonymous occupancy detection — no plates, no tracking.

What the app can do

From live map to parking strategy.

Smart Parking covers the whole chain: see occupancy live, guide drivers, monitor special bays, analyze patterns — and reshape parking with evidence.

Always full — or chronically empty?

Utilization by hour and zone shows both: overloaded zones (review pricing/rules) and vacancy (re-dedicate?). Plus turnover per bay and peak hours — the basis for every decision.

Spot always-fullSpot vacancyTurnover & peaks

Every bay has a type.

Mark disabled, e-charging, resident and short-stay bays — and see usage per type: do disabled bays stay free? Are the e-bays enough? Does short-stay actually rotate?

Every bay, live.

The live map shows every parking bay in real time — free or occupied, on-street, on squares and in the garage.

Enforcement that pays off.

Maximum stay exceeded? Smart Parking detects overstays automatically and plans the route for the enforcement team.

The garage, level by level.

Occupancy per level, live at the entrance and in the app — drivers head for the right level before they start circling.

Straight to a free bay.

The guidance system routes drivers to the nearest free bay without detours — a service built on your data foundation: signage, city app or navigation.

The same parking space, read three ways: the live map, the garage level by level and utilization across the day.

What cities measure with it

Measured anonymously, decided openly.

Smart Parking detects occupancy — not people, not plates. What remains is the number: free or occupied.

No plates

In-ground sensors and anonymous detection register occupancy only — never who is parking.

No tracking

No movement profiles, no dwell tracking of individuals — only aggregate utilization per zone.

EU-hosted

All data stays on EU infrastructure, in your span of control.
