Brussels: simplifying parking procedures for residents with reduced mobility
The Challenge
Many reduced mobility individuals face difficulties to register the license plates of vehicles they use due to using multiple vehicles, digital exclusion, or lack of awareness about the new regulation.
The City of Brussels is searching for a solution that allows holders of the European Parking Card for People with Disabilities (EPCPD) to park for free without additional administrative, time-consuming, technical, digital, or financial burdens. From the City’s perspective, the ideal solution would allow access to the necessary information from these EPCPDs as soon as the first street check is conducted. IoT sensors that will be added in the EPCPD to send holder information to Sigmax systems (Law enforcement), are required.
The City of Brussels will host one pilot in collaboration with the holders of EPCPD.
Who can apply?
- Companies and associations established in the EU, with a valid European business ID
- Individual citizens through their host institution, or from a country associated to Horizon Europe
