The Loading and Unloading Zones are intended for the temporary parking of commercial vehicles — such as vans, trucks, and light commercial vehicles — that perform professional services, deliveries or urban freight in the city.
These zones are regulated by parking bylaws, which define:
- The types of vehicles authorized to park.
- The maximum parking time, usually 30 minutes.
- The regulated schedule, typically from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on working days.
📱 Digitalization of Loading and Unloading Zones
Thanks to Parkunload technology, it is possible to digitally manage loading and unloading zones to improve their use and control. Digitalization enables:
- Logging the start and end of each parking session in real time via the Parkunload mobile app.
- Monitoring parking duration and preventing improper use.
- Enabling the efficient turnover of professional vehicles.
- Collecting usage data for urban planning and continuous improvement.
🚚 Authorized users in Smart Loading zones
The Parkunload platform allows fair sharing of public space between different types of authorized users:
- Delivery professionals and companies with commercial vehicles (vans, trucks, light commercial vehicles).
- Local merchants with vehicles registered as "Authorized".
- Nearby residents with specific authorization.
- People with reduced mobility (PRM) complying with current regulations.
Each user profile has specific usage conditions defined by the municipality, automatically applied through the app based on the type of vehicle and the time.
🧭 How does Parkunload work?
- The driver parks the vehicle in a signposted Smart Loading Zone.
- The Parkunload app automatically detects the zone code via Bluetooth and displays the parking conditions for the selected vehicle.
- The user starts the parking session with the allowed maximum time.
- The app displays the remaining time and notifies before it ends.
The system is designed to minimize fraudulent use and optimize vehicle turnover, promoting sustainable urban logistics.
