Urbiotica, in collaboration with our partner, Szymkowiak, has implemented a new project that will transform the parking landscape in the city of Ustka. This initiative, supported by the municipality of Słupsk , is a key part of a comprehensive strategy to revitalize the historic city center, located in the vicinity of the central railroad station.
With a total of 230 U-Spot 2.0 sensors and information panels strategically distributed at three points in the Ustka parking area, this project provides real-time information on the availability of parking spaces. This enables drivers to locate free spaces more efficiently, significantly reducing search time and improving traffic flow in the area.
Overcoming technical challenges
One of the main obstacles during implementation was adapting to the surface of the parking area due to its instability because of the surface with openings or perforations known as ”openwork slabs”. However, Urbiotica successfully overcame this challenge, guaranteeing the effectiveness and accuracy of the sensors in all conditions. These sensors, installed on the surface, are protected against mechanical damage caused by vehicles or snow removal, ensuring their durability and continuous operation.
Next steps
Next steps will include the development and launch of a mobile application that will allow end users to check parking occupancy in real time. In addition, the system will continue to be constantly monitored, making the necessary adjustments to optimize its operation and ensure the best possible experience for users.
The successful implementation of the smart parking system in Ustka marks a significant milestone for sustainable urban development and improved quality of life in the city. This collaboration between Urbiotica, Szymkowiak, demonstrates the potential of technological innovation to address today’s urban challenges. This project promises a more efficient parking experience and a more sustainable future for Ustka, setting an inspiring precedent for other cities.
