Geumcheon-gu Promotes 'IoT Sensor-Based Green Parking Lot Sharing Project'... Real-Time Parking Information Provided via Smartphone App, Sharing Vacant Parking Spaces

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon) is promoting an ‘IoT Sensor-Based Shared Parking Service’ targeting Green Parking lots to establish a parking sharing system used together with neighbors.

The ‘IoT Sensor-Based Shared Parking Service’ is a project that integrates the ‘Parking Friends Platform,’ based on the fusion of IoT sensors and CCTV cutting-edge technology, into Green Parking lots created by residents by removing their home fences, enabling real-time sharing of individual parking spaces.

Through the ‘IoT Sensor-Based Shared Parking Service,’ drivers can quickly find vacant parking spaces using a smartphone app, and can easily and conveniently make reservations and payments.

Additionally, both drivers and parking space providers benefit from safe parking and security services through CCTV.

To promote the project, the district signed a business agreement with Hancom Mobility on December 23 last year to advance the ‘IoT Sensor-Based Green Parking Lot Sharing Project.’

This year, a pilot project aims to share 50 Green Parking spaces (out of a total of 1,567 spaces), with plans to gradually expand to privately managed parking lots open at night and resident-priority parking lots.

Profits generated from sharing parking spaces will be distributed through contracts between the parking space providers and Hancom Mobility Co., Ltd., which provides the shared parking service.

From January, the district will promote the service targeting 854 Green Parking lots with 1,567 spaces, accept applications, and plan to officially launch the service in March.

To solve chronic parking problems, since February last year, the district has been operating the ‘ARS PARKING Shared Parking Project’ using an ARS system (telephone) targeting resident-priority parking lots and others. As of the end of last year, 321 shared parking spaces and a total of 3,270 sharing cases were recorded.

Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon said, “This business agreement is expected to significantly contribute to residents’ parking convenience by efficiently utilizing Green Parking lots and reducing the time spent searching for vacant parking spaces,” adding, “We plan to create a parking sharing culture with neighbors to solve chronic parking problems in the future.”
