Controlling vehicle rotation in the city centres is crucial to encouraging maximum traffic to local shops and businesses.\nOne option to achieve this goal is free limited-time parking<\/strong>.\nEl estacionamiento regulado en la v\u00eda p\u00fablica es una soluci\u00f3n con Regulated parking on public roads aims to improve urban mobility and to share parking spaces among as many residents and visitors to the area as possible. <\/p>\n\n

This parking method is ideal for small towns where pay-by-space zoning is too expensive since the income from these parking spaces would not cover the initial investment.\nIn these towns, the answer is to encourage vehicle rotation, attracting more citizens and visitors to the city centre where the shops and businesses are found. <\/p>\n\n

The maximum time allowed in these areas depends on the local authority and the time bands where the zone is operational.\nDrivers appreciate not having to pay when they visit the town centre, and they can do their business with peace of mind. What\u2019s more, they speed up vehicle rotation, generating trade and wealth in the area. <\/p>\n\n

This type of parking not only favors commercial areas<\/strong> due to the increased influx of people, but also has a positive impact on citizens, since when they travel to the center, they are assured that they will find free spaces<\/strong> and automatically reduce<\/strong> the volume of traffic<\/strong> and badly parked cars that generate stress and chaos.<\/p>\n\n

It is easy to pass a regulation, but how do you make sure that everyone complies with it and does not exceed the maximum time limit?<\/p>\n\n

How does the system works?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

When you park in one of these spaces, you declare your arrival time so that parking attendants can keep control.\nThis can be done using a ticket placed inside the car for attendants to read. If you don\u2019t have a time clock, you can write it on a piece of paper and leave it somewhere prominent inside the vehicle.\nIt\u2019s a simple method, but it is also easy to cheat the authorities by claiming you have arrived later than you did. <\/p>\n\n

This is because it is difficult for attendants to monitor all the cars parked at any given time, and there is no way to check that the time stated is correct.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Urbiotica\u2019s solution for free limited-time parking control<\/h3>\n\n

Urbiotica\u2019s solution sends a remote alert whenever a vehicle exceeds the maximum authorised time. It individually detects the arrival time, so attendants only need to act in case of a violation. This releases them from the heavy burden of constant rounds to check vehicles.<\/p>\n\n

How does it works?<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n
  • The user parks in a free limited-time space guided by the mobile application, and the U-Spot sensor detects their arrival.<\/li>
  • The app records that they have parked and in where.<\/li>
  • When a user does not report that they have parked or exceeds the maximum time limit, an alert is sent to the attendant.<\/li>
  • This alert is saved until the user is it leaves or until it is managed by the authorities.<\/li>
  • The manager can view and configure all system information using the U-Admin platform.<\/li><\/ul>\n
