There's smart parking - then there's clever parking
WHAT IS SMART PARKING?
Reliable smart parking provides real-time data and local turn-by-turn guidance, reducing search traffic and vehicle emissions.

Smart parking: essential in any modern parking operation

Smart parking solutions detect parking space availability in real-time, helping to optimize on-street parking in cities and in parking garages or surface parking lots such as those in shopping malls, train stations, corporate campuses, and more.
Instead of relying on sheer luck when looking for available parking spaces, drivers benefit from smart parking technologies that provide turn-by-turn guidance navigating them to the most convenient parking space.
The average driver spends ten to twenty minutes each time they search for a parking space—a waste of time and a serious stressor with a negative environmental impact. Smart parking systems provide reliable guidance for drivers, thus simplifying their journey.
Clever technologies
Cleverciti generates data via German-made overhead sensors that identify the position of a parked car or available parking space. The data is processed “at the edge”, meaning the only information leaving the sensor are the GPS coordinates of a parking space and its availability. This approach ensures compliance with all the relevant data privacy regulations.
Environmental impact
Many cities across the globe have committed to mitigating the negative impact of cars on the environment. Drivers looking for available parking spaces are not only wasting their time and fuel, their vehicles are also adding to the congestion in the city and emitting CO₂. A recent study has shown that smart parking solutions can save up to 900,000 tons of harmful CO₂ in Germany alone—equivalent to the emissions of half of all domestic air traffic. These savings help cities quickly advance toward their carbon neutrality goals.
