Improve the management of regulated parking spaces in order to optimize traffic management.
The Polish municipality of Gliwice has around 200,000 inhabitants and an intricate historical center. Due to an increasing influx of vehicles it faced the usual challenges of any modern city. The city authorities needed an effective solution to reduce congestion in the busiest areas and improve access to regulated parking. It required a rational management of outdoor parking spaces that would ensure a smoother flow of traffic while also serving the interests of local residents and shopkeepers.
In the Gliwice project, an intelligent guidance system based on IoT sensors was implemented. Three hundred U-Spot sensors were installed.
300 U-Spot sensors were installed as well as variable signage panels that guide drivers directly to free spaces.
The management platform collects the information captured by the sensor system and transmits real-time availability to drivers.
