Alonsotegi optimizes free parking control with IoT sensors

Country: Spain
Project of: Free time-limited seat control
Main products: M2M IoT sensing sensors, user declaration app and U-Admin management platform.
The challenge

Alonsotegi, like many other localities, faced a common problem in time-limited free parking zones: the incorrect use of parking spaces by drivers. The lack of effective control made it difficult to comply with the regulations and generated insufficient rotations, reducing availability for other users.

The municipality’s objective was to ensure a fair and regulated use of these places, promoting rotation and avoiding abuses, but without renouncing to free service and simple management.

The solution

Urbiotica, in collaboration with the integrator Euskotelecom, has implemented an intelligent system based on M2M IoT sensors for the control of parking areas for a limited time.

Each parking space equipped with a sensor allows detecting the actual use of the space. Through an app, users can easily declare their parking, and the system automatically notifies the municipal operator if the maximum allowed time is exceeded.
All information is centralized in the U-Admin platform, from where it can be monitored in real time, analyze usage patterns and act swiftly in the event of any infringement.

Benefits of implementing this solution
  • Increased compliance with regulations, thanks to automatic monitoring and real-time alerts.

  • Promotion of the responsible use of free places, without the need for punitive measures.

  • Increased turnover, facilitating access to more users.

  • Data-driven management, with occupancy and usage time indicators.

  • Frictionless system for the citizen, who can declare its use quickly and easily from the cell phone.

  • Scalable technology, adaptable to other areas of the municipality if it is desired to expand the project.
