An initiative that improves mobility and local commerce through real time data
The municipality of Fortuna, in the Region of Murcia, has taken a firm step towards the modernization of its urban mobility with the implementation of an intelligent system for the management of loading and unloading zones. The project, which is being developed in collaboration with Pavapark, incorporates square-by-square detection technology using Urbiotica’s U-Spot M2M sensors.
This type of space, often saturated or underutilized, is key to the proper functioning of commerce and urban logistics. The initiative responds to a specific need: to organize and control the use of spaces reserved for carriers and suppliers, especially in areas close to markets or busy commercial areas.
The challenge: optimizing the use of public space and improving logistical operations
Until now, the use of loading and unloading spaces depended largely on the spontaneous availability and intuition of drivers. This situation generated undue occupancy, congestion and wasted time for transport professionals.
The Fortuna City Council was looking for a solution that offered control, information and efficiency, and at the same time was simple to implement. Thus was born this project, which combines a digital management platform with real-time detection of the occupancy status of the parking spaces.
The implemented solution: M2M U-Spot sensors for accurate and autonomous detection
The system includes 25 U-Spot M2M sensors, capable of accurately and autonomously detecting the presence of vehicles in each plaza. These sensors, buried underground and without the need for periodic maintenance, offer a reliable and robust solution for the control of regulated areas.
Thanks to their Machine-to-Machine (M2M) technology, the sensors communicate directly without the need for gateways, which simplifies installation and significantly reduces costs. This makes them a particularly suitable option for dispersed parking areas such as loading and unloading zones in municipalities like Fortuna. The information generated is made available to traders, transporters and the City Council itself, facilitating the organization of the logistics flow and promoting a higher vehicle turnover in the most active areas of the city.
With this action, Fortuna joins the trend of cities that are committed to a more efficient and sustainable mobility, incorporating technology as a tool to improve the management of public space and respond to the daily challenges of the urban environment.
