Parkunload is an innovative digital platform to regulate and control restricted, time-limited and free-of-charge parking zones for authorized vehicles, based on mobile apps and Bluetooth sensors attached in the road signs delimiting each smart zone.
The solution allows to increase both the parking turnover and availability to optimize the shared use of public parking space in several areas as follows:
- Sustainable City Logistics : Loading and Unloading zones, Delivery areas, Only trucks.
- Promoting local commerce: Short-stay parking zones. Pick-up zones. Drop-off zones
- Authorized only: Resident parking, Customers only, Employees only.
- Priority parking spaces: pharmacy, accessibility parking.
- Public transport: Park & Ride only for commuters.
¿How does Parkunload work?
On arrival, drivers must start a parking session for the zone code printed on the road sign delimiting the smart parking zone, which the App can automatically detected via Bluetooth. Alternatively, users may ether enter o select the zone code in a map.
The app displays the current parking conditions in the smart zone for the selected vehicle, and the user must press "Start parking" to initiate the parking session.
Parkunload displays notifications about the remaining parking time. When leaving the parking space, the user must press "Stop parking" to end the current parking session.
The driver can also check the maximum allowed time and estimated occupancy status in nearby zones, as well as request the optimal route to a nearby zone.
The city sets the permit and maximum parking time for each zone according to location, time of the weekday, vehicle data and driver profile. The city can set different regulations depending on the vehicle's environmental badge in Low Emission Zones (LEZ) or during pollution episodes.
