Intelligent parking spaces in Frankfurt: Sensors optimize parking space usage!

An exciting project on the subject of parking space management is being realized in Frankfurt am Main. The “PauL – Parking and Guiding – Changing made easy” project aims to efficiently optimize the use of parking spaces with modern sensors. These sensors are installed at various P+R facilities, including in Kalbach, Neu-Isenburg and Preungesheim, and are intended to precisely record the occupancy of the parking areas. This reports rheinmainverlag.de.

But that's not all: the sensors will also be available at bus parking spaces at the Breitenbach Bridge and at Theodor-Stern-Kai, as well as at bicycle parking facilities at the Neu-Isenburg tram terminus. The goal is to transmit the current occupancy figures to the traffic control center in real time. In this way, not only drivers benefit from information about free parking spaces, but also bus passengers and cyclists.

Technology and data protection

An important aspect of the project is ensuring data protection compliance. The sensors only record data about incoming and outgoing vehicles and transmit aggregated numbers without storing personal data. This means that the technology not only guides those looking for a parking space, but also meets the requirements of the European Delegated Regulation, reports rheinmainverlag.de.

By the way, the data collected is not only published on the city's traffic information portal mainziel.de, but can also be used by navigation services and vehicle manufacturers. This could lead to innovative intermodal parking management strategies that aim to significantly reduce traffic looking for parking in the city center.

Job offers and future prospects

A promising project also needs fresh talent. The company behind these innovations, Smart City System, is looking for motivated employees who are ready to develop further in a young team. Here, responsibility is assumed from day one and you have the chance to actively participate in important decisions. On the website of Smart City System Many positions are currently being advertised because the goal is to move from the German market leader to the European market leader in the field of smart parking within the next three years.

This ensures that the team not only makes progress on the technological front, but also emphasizes social skills and teamwork. The flat hierarchies enable a steep learning curve, which is particularly exciting for newcomers. And don't worry, previous knowledge is an advantage, but not absolutely necessary - support in learning important skills is guaranteed.

In conclusion, it can be said that Frankfurt's innovative approaches to the use of parking space not only relieve traffic, but could also serve as a model for other cities. The project shows that modern technology and data protection can go hand in hand while creating new jobs.
