Parking control in loading and unloading areas in Teruel to facilitate loading and unloading operations.

Country: Spain
Project of: Regulation of the use of parking lots
Key technologies:U-Spot sensors and mobile application
The challenge

Improved management of loading and unloading spaces

Teruel joins Urbiotica’s successes after implementing sensors that streamline the monitoring of short-term parking without resorting to vehicle-to-vehicle control.

Within the new blue zone management contract in Teruel, awarded to EYSA in 2017, the installation of wireless sensors in parking spaces reserved for loading and unloading operations was raised as an improvement. Thanks to the mobile application that displays the data obtained and the sending of alerts, Urbiotica’s intelligent system eliminates vehicle-by-vehicle control, already difficult to manage when the maximum parking time is short.

The project has made Teruel an example of smart parking management, combining detection sensors and applications to improve mobility in the city and facilitate commercial operations.

The solution

The project in Teruel consisted of deploying 82 U-Spot detection sensors in loading and unloading bays to ensure that the maximum authorized time of 30 minutes is complied with.

Each Urbiotica wireless sensor is part of an interconnected system in which a mobile application is responsible for displaying the occupancy data collected in the loading and unloading spaces, and for sending real-time alerts to the Local Police in case of violations, such as exceeding the authorized 30 minutes or improper occupation of these, so that they can act immediately.

All alerts are sent simultaneously to the Local Police Monitoring Center in order to manage resources more efficiently and ensure the proper use of loading and unloading spaces.

The project in Teruel consisted of deploying 82 parking space sensors and the use of a mobile application to provide alerts to parking attendants.

Benefits of implementing this solution
  • Increased efficiency in the supervision of loading and unloading areas.
  • Compliance with the maximum parking time allowed.
  • Optimization of parking control resources.
  • Improvement of urban mobility in stressed areas.
  • Image of a city that is innovative and concerned about its citizens.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long has it taken to install the detection sensors in the Teruel project?

The installation of each of the 82 U-Spot wireless detection sensors in Teruel and their configuration takes no more than 10 minutes. Urbiotica’s devices are quick and easy to install, minimizing interruptions in the use of loading and unloading spaces.

Does the system allow forecasting the occupancy of loading and unloading spaces in Teruel?

Yes, the occupancy data collected by the intelligent parking system implemented in Teruel, in addition to allowing alerts for improper use, helps to detect patterns of use of loading and unloading spaces in the city. Useful information for urban planning.

What criteria were followed to choose the loading and unloading places where to install the sensors?

The Teruel loading and unloading spaces were chosen taking into account the density of commercial activity in the area and the frequency of use. With the improvement, it was possible to comply with the maximum parking time that affected mobility and commercial operations.
