In a pilot project, 4194 Deutsche Telekom is to integrate a number of parking spaces within a sensor-based parking management system in Piazza Carrara in the historic centre of Pisa, Italy, just a few hundred metres from the town's 5604 Landmark, the Leaning Tower.

Sensors in the parking area will provide information on available parking spaces and forward this to a mobile app on the driver’s smartphone.  Drivers can also pay parking fees via their smartphone.

The cooperation also includes a big data service, which analyses historical traffic data to optimise the flow of traffic.

"We look forward to adding parking management to Pisa’s Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom," says Pisa's Mayor Marco Filippeschi. "It will ensure a better flow of traffic, reduce CO2 emissions - in accordance with our sustainable energy action plan and our policies on Smart mobility - and make it much more convenient to look for a parking space."
