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.

    So what have we found so far from life in lockdown? Not commuting has its benefits. Maybe more of us could work from home when technology allows. We all know how to Zoom now.

    What else? The lack of road traffic has given us cleaner air to breathe when we do go out, while more of us seem to be taking to our bicycles.

    Also, we know that what we've been doing across the world for the last few months is economically unsustainable - which is why restrictions are easing in many countries.

    In these unprecedented times, it is paramount that cities are resilient and can adapt their infrastructure to accommodate changes in traveller behaviour.

    Many people are now opting for cars, bicycles, or walking instead of using publicly available options, causing an increase in road usage and impacting vulnerable road users, congestion and air pollution.

    It’s vital that we limit touchpoints in our public transportation network and effectively communicate the safety and precautionary measures to ensure we alleviate hesitation in utilizing these systems.
