  • Park&Ride
    Solutions

    Park&Ride

    We facilitate the use of park-and-ride lots at city access points by providing real-time information on the availability of parking spaces. This encourages the use of these parking lots by allowing drivers to better plan their route and park more quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can guidance and enforcement solutions be combined in the same urban area?

Completely. Guidance and enforcement solutions are designed to work in a complementary way. For example, the driver can be guided to an available space and, once occupied, control rules (by time, user or payment) can be applied and monitored in real time from the Smart Parking platform.

What are the advantages of automated control over traditional patrolling?

Automated enforcement enables real-time monitoring of parking space usage and allows operators to adapt the enforcement model according to operational needs, from assisted workflows to fully automated enforcement.

At a first level, enforcement teams validate parking spaces using mobile devices by scanning license plates and checking compliance with parking regulations. This makes it possible to digitize enforcement operations without requiring roadside infrastructure.

At a second level, the system automatically detects potential violations and generates alerts based on usage data, directing enforcement officers only where intervention is required and eliminating random patrols.

In more advanced models, the solution incorporates license plate recognition (LPR) cameras that identify vehicles, generate evidence, and automate violation detection. In these cases, the system can integrate with existing operations and support enforcement workflows — including citation processes — without manual intervention.

Compared to traditional patrol-based enforcement, this approach improves operational efficiency, optimizes resource allocation, increases compliance, and provides reliable data to analyze usage patterns and support evidence-based decision-making.

How can intelligent guidance improve mobility in historic city centres?

Historic city centres often offer a limited number of parking spaces, with narrow streets and high traffic pressure.
Urbiotica’s smart parking guidance system provides real-time information on availability before entering the old town, directing drivers straight to the nearest free spaces.

This prevents unnecessary circulation, reduces congestion, and improves mobility while helping to preserve the urban and heritage environment.

What types of solutions are most effective for managing parking in coastal areas?

In coastal areas, where parking demand increases significantly during seasonal peaks, combining smart parking guidance with digital parking enforcement is key to effective parking management.

Parking guidance solutions help direct drivers to available spaces in real time, reducing traffic caused by drivers searching for parking and improving the user experience in highly congested environments.

At the same time, parking enforcement solutions enable operators to monitor the use of regulated parking spaces — whether based on time limits, user authorization, or payment validation — through different levels of automation, from assisted workflows to fully automated systems capable of detecting violations and generating evidence automatically.

This combination not only improves turnover and compliance with parking regulations, but also optimizes enforcement resources, reduces violations, and enables more efficient management of public space in areas with high parking demand pressure.

How do new LPR-based technologies improve urban parking enforcement?

Technologies based on automatic license plate recognition (LPR) allow parking enforcement operations to evolve from manual supervision models toward digital systems capable of identifying vehicles and validating parking usage in real time.

Through license plate identification, operators can implement more advanced enforcement models, such as authorized user validation, pay-by-vehicle parking control, or access management in regulated or restricted areas.

In environments where camera-based solutions are deployed, the system can also automatically generate evidence of parking violations and, depending on local regulations, support enforcement workflows — including citation processes — without manual intervention.

This approach helps improve compliance with parking regulations, optimize enforcement resources, and provide more accurate data for managing public space more efficiently.
