Efficient parking space monitoring with city monitor: Your smart solution for modern mobility requirements

The efficient management of parking spaces is a key challenge for cities, municipalities and leisure regions. Whether in the city center, shopping centers or ski areas — optimised parking space management not only saves time and money, but also increases user satisfaction. With the innovative Citymonitor smart city solution, we offer you the opportunity to intelligently monitor, evaluate and control parking areas.

In this article, we show how you can use Citymonitor to integrate existing systems, use new technologies such as camera-based parking space monitoring, and analyze your parking space utilization in real time.

Why is parking monitoring important?

Searching for parking spaces accounts for up to 30% of the total traffic volume in many cities. This not only leads to increased CO₂ emissions, but also to frustration among users. Smart parking monitoring helps solve these problems by:

  • provides real-time data.
  • Improves traffic flow.
  • Increases user satisfaction through clearer parking information.

How Citymonitor is revolutionizing your parking space management

1. Integration of existing systems

Citymonitor enables seamless connection to existing systems such as parking garages or barrier systems. The technology already installed, such as ticketing systems or sensors, is integrated to integrate current data into our dashboard. This makes optimal use of your existing infrastructure.

2. Use of new technologies

The future of parking space monitoring lies in modern technologies such as camera systems and IoT sensors. With Citymonitor, camera-based solutions and single-station monitoring can be easily implemented. This allows you to see in real time which spaces are vacant or occupied — whether in a parking garage, outdoor parking spaces or in special areas such as e-charging zones.

3. Total workload at a glance

Citymonitor groups your parking spaces according to any categories, such as:

  • Downtown areas.
  • shopping malls.
  • Leisure regions such as ski areas or swimming pools.

An illustrative Widget (see example) clearly shows you the utilization of individual parking spaces and the total utilization of all monitored areas.

Data analysis and optimization of your parking spaces

Another advantage of Citymonitor is its comprehensive analysis function:

  • Hourly load: Identify peak hours and derive measures to alleviate the workload.
  • Weekday and monthly analyses: Understand seasonal trends or differences between weekdays and weekends.
  • Long-term optimization: Make data-based decisions for better parking space design.

With the planned integration of artificial intelligence, Citymonitor will also Parking space utilization forecasts deliver. This enables you to react in good time to upcoming bottlenecks — for example through dynamic pricing or targeted traffic management.

Typical use cases for city monitors

1. Cities and municipalities

  • Make it easier to find parking spaces in the city center.
  • Reduce traffic congestion and emissions
  • Improve the quality of life for residents and visitors.

2. Shopping malls

  • Increase customer satisfaction by making parking options easy to find.
  • Optimize your use of space through intelligent analyses.

3. Leisure regions and ski areas

  • Inform visitors in real time about available parking spaces.
