Parking space guidance solution for Martorell Hospital, Spain
This project arose from the need to speed up the search for parking spaces and reduce the time users spent circling the Martorell hospital parking lot.
The Martorell hospital serves the regions of Baix Llobregat, Alt Penedès, Anoia and Vallès Occidental, covering approximately 150,000 people, so improving mobility in the area became a necessity both for the hospital and for those living near it. The large flow of vehicles complicated access to the hospital, creating frequent traffic jams that affected healthcare personnel, visitors and neighbors.
The hospital administration decided to find a solution for managing its public parking lot, which has a total of 203 spaces. Its objective was none other than to make better use of the available space and facilitate the entry and exit of vehicles. In this way, it would be able to offer a better experience to citizens.
The implementation of Urbiotica’s guidance system was a success in the parking lot of the Martorell hospital. It was only necessary to install two U-Flow counting sensors to monitor all parking spaces.
Two U-Flow counting sensors were installed at the entrances and exits of the Martorell hospital parking lot to know how many vehicles are in the area at all times. This information is updated in real time and displayed to users by means of variable signage panels installed at the entrance to the parking lot. In addition, those responsible for its management have access to this data through specific tools designed to make their work and decision making easier.
Thanks to Urbiotica’s intelligent guidance system, users know where to find available spaces in each section, spending less time making unnecessary turns and thus improving circulation in and out of the hospital.
- Increased turnover and occupancy of parking spaces, making better use of available spaces.
- Reduction of parking search traffic by being able to find available parking spaces in real time.
- Improves the drivers’ experience, they feel more comfortable because they do not have to make unnecessary turns.
- Improved air quality due to the reduction of pollution caused by vehicles in circulation.
