RSSThe city council of Sant Cugat del Vallés in Spain last week inaugurated a revolutionary smart city project to improve the mobility, sustainability and life of the citizens of this town, which is located next to the city of Barcelona. Within the framework of the project, an innovative intelligent guidance system for parking in the city developed by ParkHelp Mobility and Sustainability Solutions, has been inaugurated, following a pilot project. The system operates using one vehicle sensor per parking space.
