Ascoli moves toward more efficient parking with IoT sensors
The city of Ascoli, Italy, faced challenges in managing its regulated parking spaces. The lack of real-time information on parking availability generated unnecessary traffic, increasing congestion and pollutant emissions.
Like many other European cities, the need to optimize the use of public space and improve urban mobility became a priority.
To address this problem, 55 IoT detection sensors have been installed in Piazza Viola, in collaboration with the Saba Group.

These devices collect real-time data on parking space occupancy, allowing a more accurate analysis of usage patterns and contributing to better parking planning in the city. In addition, the integration of driver information systems, such as mobile applications or variable message signage, could be a next step to maximize the benefits of this initiative.
- Optimization of parking management, allowing a more efficient use of available spaces.
- Reducing traffic and congestion by minimizing unnecessary vehicle traffic in search of parking.
- Reduction of polluting emissions, contributing to a more sustainable urban environment.
- Improved mobility in the city center, facilitating access to parking spaces in real time.
- Commitment to the modernization of urban mobility, laying the groundwork for future improvements in public space management.
