Find & Pay from 7693 EasyPark uses big data, predictive analytics and machine learning to cut (by up to 50%) the time taken to find parking in congested cities. 

Find & Pay combines transaction data with crowd-sourced location information from users and Internet of Things (IoT) devices to create a parking probability map for each city block at any given hour of the day. With this information it provides users with a route to their destination which passes along streets with the highest probability of parking availability, balancing in-car time against walking distance to destination to find the optimal route.

It provides turn-by-turn navigation along the route, also noting available off-street parking and lets users remotely manage and pay for the parking space when they arrive.

    Jenoptik’s Uwe Urban looks at the advantages of ‘sensor fusion’ for the ITS sector. When considering the ideal sensing and monitoring system to enable the ITS sector to deliver improvements in mobility and road safety, for general policing security and border protection, we have to think beyond radar-base systems or laser scanners. What is needed today are solutions for detecting and tracking vehicles while recording evidence to deacide if any action is necessary. There is no sole sensor capable of

    Researchers from two American Universities have found the provision of parking spaces can encourage automobile use and increase traffic congestion. It is well understood that increased automobile use is linked to congestion, environmental degradation and negative health and safety impacts. Trials of smart parking technology has shown a reduction in circulating traffic (looking for parking) can ease congestion and that the cost of parking can influence commuters’ modal choice. Now, researchers at the univers
