Greece-Heraklion: Management and control of parking spaces for persons with reduced mobility (PRM) and logistics
Background
Finding a parking space in most cities today is no easy task. This applies even more to persons with reduced mobility (PRM) and delivery companies who depend on finding a parking space near their destination. The city of Heraklion decided to dedicate 6 on-road parking spots in the city centre to urban logistics and
approximately 200 on-road parking spots in the wider city area to PRM for general use. The designated parking spaces are regularly taken by unauthorised users hampering the daily activity of PRM and delivery drivers.
The city of Heraklion is seeking innovative tech-based solutions to pilot a system that allows the booking and reservation of dedicated parking spots for authorized users (PRM and delivery companies.) Implementing this solution is a crucial step towards a more modern and efficient city. Its success will improve the parking experience for PRM and delivery truck drivers. The successful proposal will need to demonstrate the impact of the solution, proved within the pilot area, by presenting specific results from a previous project.
