Pay-by-Place control in Nice to reduce the flow of vehicles in the city center and encourage the use of alternative transportation to reduce pollution.
Improving mobility in Nice and reducing pollution
The local government of Nice was facing a critical mobility situation that was generating serious management and pollution problems that were detrimental to the quality of life of its citizens.
The objective of the project we developed with our partners for the Nice Administration was to reduce the flow of vehicles into the city center and encourage the use of alternative transportation.
The project in Nice consisted of deploying 4,500 U-Spot sensors and 570 kiosks.
The project entailed the deployment of 4,500 U-Spot sensors and 570 kiosks. The sensors detect the occupancy of the parking spots accessible to 550,000 users in real time.
Our MOV’Smart solution informs citizens of the availability of parking spots and parking fees in real time, as well as alternative transportation options (public transportation, rental bikes, carshares, etc.).
The project improves users’ experiences and stimulates business via practical information on the destination zones, such as entertainment activities or commercial promotions (hotels, restaurants, tourist spots, weather, etc.).
The system makes it possible for the city administration and managers to apply dynamic parking prices according to availability, traffic, and even the pollution rates at any time. Adapting the prices enables them to influence traffic density to avoid saturation and considerably lower the pollution in the city.
Users can check all the information via the Internet, smartphones, and signs installed on the streets, making it much easier to decide where to park and the best way to get around the city.
- Parking revenues increased by 25%.
- Operating costs were optimized by 30%
