3 steps to a successful IoT Use Case

Challenge

According to surveys, around 30 percent of inner-city traffic is caused by the search for parking spaces. This leads to traffic jams, increased emissions and frustration among drivers. Cities need an efficient solution to better manage parking spaces and quickly direct drivers to available spaces.

Solution

Cleverciti's system for monitoring and controlling parking spaces is based on optical sensors that are mounted on existing infrastructure such as streetlights. One sensor can detect up to 100 parking spaces and uses AI to analyze their occupancy in real time. The occupancy data is transmitted securely and in compliance with data protection regulations to the cloud via Deutsche Telekom's 4G/5G network. Digital displays guide drivers to free parking spaces. A smartphone app also offers navigation and payment options. Cities receive detailed analyses of parking space usage for better planning and more efficient management. Deutsche Telekom's global mobile coverage enables Cleverciti to use the solution worldwide.

Customer benefit

The Cleverciti solution halves the average time spent looking for a parking space. This reduces emissions and noise and thus increases the satisfaction of residents and visitors. Retailers benefit from increased customer footfall when there is more time for shopping or eating out. Cities optimize their parking management through data-based decisions. The utilization of parking spaces increases, which leads to additional revenue.
