Smart parking – optimising the customer journey begins at 14.00 CEST on Tuesday 23 June.

Industry veteran Carlo van de Weijer, director of smart mobility at Eindhoven University of Technology, will moderate the session, which looks at new health and security requirements faced by the parking sector in the Covid-19 pandemic.

Parking technology vendors and parking service providers are developing new touchless parking solutions, while local authorities have initiated temporary measures to unlock kerb potential and to make travelling as smooth as possible.

Smart parking solutions provide benefits for the liveability of urban areas, as local authorities seek to reduce car use while parking garages can use technology to reduce the time that drivers are searching for city centre spaces.

Julian O’Kelly of the British Parking Association, Florian Schneeberger of Skidata and Ben Boucher-West of Appyway will share their views on creating customised services and tailored destination experiences to keep cities accessible.

    February 7, 2019
    The UK government has signalled that it is ready to allow autonomous vehicles (AVs) with no driver to be tested on public roads. It is already committed to having fully self-driving vehicles on UK roads by 2021. At present, operators are legally required to test AVs only when “a driver is present, in or out of the vehicle, who is ready, able, and willing to resume control of the vehicle”.
