AppyWay launches Parking API

The underlying problem when parking is information about available spaces

Tight spaces and a tight schedule can make parking difficult

Kerb management firm AppyWay has launched its Parking API (application programming interface) that the company says will save drivers time when looking for a parking space.

It uses standardised and interoperable parking data as recognised by the UK government’s Future of Mobility: Urban Strategy.

“The underlying problem is parking information, or as we like to call it, kerbside intelligence,” explained Dan Hubert, founder of AppyWay.

“Take for example a carpenter working for a facilities management company. They need to know if it's free or legal to park [at a site], how much it might cost and more importantly, what is the maximum stay permitted."

"Our Parking API has been specially designed to be able to expose this level of insight, helping them drive straight to the right space that suits their needs, quickly and safely,” said Hubert.

AppyWay says that the Parking API can be used by businesses to deliver benefits for their own operations but also by software developers, who are solving problems for their customers and looking to add value across their product offerings.

With high-definition coverage, the API collects and refreshes kerbside data, combining with it a cost calculator so that developers can build tailored solutions to meet a wide variety of use cases.

AppyWay says that its Parking API is available for developers with a limited free trial.

    A common assumption, even amongst informed observers, is that there’s but a handful of urban charging schemes in operation around the world and scant prospect of that changing any time soon. Larger city-sized schemes such as Singapore, London and Stockholm come readily to mind but if we take a wider view and also consider urban access control and Low Emission Zones (LEZs) then the picture changes rather radically. There is a notable concentration of such schemes in Europe but worldwide the number is comfort

  • Countering truckers’ parking conundrum
    May 3, 2017
    Colin Sowman hears about a new truck parking information system being piloted across eight states. Legislation limits truck drivers’ hours with the result that they are often caught in a situation where they need to stop either for a break or an overnight rest. But as truck parking is in short supply, truck drivers spend an average of 56 minutes a day searching for available spaces and are often faced with the choice of driving beyond their permitted hours or parking illegally.
