The City has previously trialled the use of smart parking sensors across our City Centre.
Parking technology helps us improve parking in the City. Sensors and meter transactions show us how car parks are used and where they are needed.
With this data, we can:
- See the demand for parking spaces and how they are used throughout different times of the day, days of the week, and seasonally.
- Make evidence-based policy decisions to better manage parking and plan for the future.
- Help individuals to make decisions about parking availability and location. This will reduce the time spent searching for parking, ease congestion, and promote a smoother flow of vehicles within the city.
