Smart Monitoring of Sintra’s Parking Areas
Smart Cities
An integrated platform that controls all aspects of Sintra’s parking
Sintra is considered a highly touristic city, as it receives thousands of national and international visitors every year. In recent years, there has been significant growth in the city’s tourism sector, which has led to an imbalance between the demand for and supply of car parking areas and has led to high levels of traffic congestion.
In mid-2017, EMES (Empresa Municipal de Estacionamento de Sintra), one of the public bodies responsible for managing parking areas and spaces, sought to implement the technology needed to manage this situation: a solution capable of helping to improve two of its parking areas in Sintra and inform its citizens about parking spaces, which would reduce traffic congestion in the city.
Ubiwhere adapted its Smart Parking product to meet EMES’s requirements, presenting a solution that controls the entry and exit of vehicles in parking areas and collects performance indicators.
The integration of this solution demonstrates the flexibility and adaptability of Ubiwhere’s smart city solutions, enabling better policy and optimised management by reducing parking operating costs, traffic congestion and pollution peaks, with the ultimate aim of improving citizens’ quality of life.
