The project is an important operational milestone, comprising the integration and future management of what is said to be one of the most complex car park systems in the world, with 10,000 parking spaces and over 200 gated entry/exits.

Traffic Tech will design, fabricate, deliver, install and maintain the car park management system and combine it with a state-of-the-art revenue control system. The company will also have full control over the valet management, taxi dispatch, parking guidance systems, as well as the parking facility management software.

Eng. Husam Musharbash of Traffic Tech (Gulf) adds, “We are proud to be associated with Msheireb Properties for the execution of this massive project. We envisage that Msheireb Downtown Doha’s parking management system will not only be one of the most advanced but will also allow future integration into the wider Qatar intelligent transportation system.”
