Seongdong-gu, IoT (Internet of Things) Management for Illegal Parking in Disabled-Only Parking Lots

Installation of 'IoT Parking Management System' in 31 Disabled Parking Spaces at 7 Public Facilities in District

IoT Parking Management System with Warning Lights and Announcements for Illegal Parking

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jeong Won-oh) has introduced the 'IoT Parking Management System for Disabled Parking Spaces' to enhance parking and mobility convenience for pedestrians with disabilities and to reduce illegal parking in disabled-only parking zones.

The 'IoT Parking Management System' is a real-time management system for disabled-only parking spaces utilizing IoT (Internet of Things) technology. When a non-disabled vehicle enters, sensors automatically detect it and prevent illegal parking by activating warning lights and broadcasting alert messages.

If parking is forcibly attempted, immediate fines can be imposed by verifying photos and parking records of the violating vehicle.

Disabled-only parking spaces are parking convenience facilities exclusively for pedestrians with disabilities, but violations such as illegal parking exploiting these conveniences have been increasing annually. Conflicts between reporters and violators due to reports are also intensifying.

Accordingly, the district formed a public-private joint task force composed of the Seongdong Disabled Welfare Center and representatives of disabled persons, and after agenda discovery, site selection, and on-site inspections, decided to introduce the system.

In early November, the system installation was completed for 31 disabled-only parking spaces across seven public facilities in the area, including the Seongdong-gu Citizens' Sports Center, where violations were frequent, and full-scale operation began at the end of November.

Along with system operation, the district plans to conduct promotional activities and campaigns to raise awareness and vigilance against violations of disabled-only parking spaces through public-private cooperation.

Jeong Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, “This system establishment is a crackdown system based on preventive measures to improve mobility and parking convenience for the disabled. We will continue to build various smart infrastructures in the region so that all residents can enjoy and feel the benefits, making Seongdong a smart city.”
