Urban parking guidance in Ibiza to alleviate congestion and inconvenience caused by tourist avalanches.
Streamline the search for parking in La Marina and reduce the flow of vehicles in the center to improve the quality of life and satisfaction of residents and tourists while promoting the downtown commercial area.
Ibiza is an island with 133,000 inhabitants and receives more than 2 million tourists a year, most of them concentrated in the hot months.
This seasonal overcrowding was making access to the center difficult and causing congestion of vehicles looking for parking in La Marina.
It was detrimental to the well-being of the population and even had a negative impact on the commerce and image of the area.
The project in Ibiza consisted of deploying U-Spot sensors in the 85 parking spaces in La Marina.
U-Spot sensors were deployed in all 85 parking spaces in La Marina. The data captured in real time are transformed into useful information that makes parking easier.
Sensors were installed in the parking spots in the La Marina sector, and a dynamic message sign was placed at the entrance to Calle d’Annibal, in which drivers were informed about the availability of spots, thus preventing cars from entering unnecessarily when the parking lot is full.
The solution implemented has optimized management of the parking lot and eased access to the city center. Citizens are satisfied because they no longer waste time looking for a parking spot, have less stress and have an improved quality of life. They are going back to the city center to shop, thus providing a boost to local retailers.
- Increased parking lot turnover and occupancy.
- Reduction of traffic caused by the search for parking.
- Increases citizen satisfaction.
- Improvement of environmental quality.
- Well-being and quality of life of citizens.
