Seoul City Launches Real-Time Parking Sharing Service with IoT Technology Applied to 'Green Parking' Lots... Priority Subsidy Support for Participants in Parking Sharing

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government is actively expanding the 'real-time parking sharing service,' which applies IoT (Internet of Things) technology to 'Green Parking'?a project that removes residential fences to create private parking spaces?allowing users to share vacant parking spots and earn additional income.

According to Seoul City on the 11th, the city plans to enhance the convenience for drivers by expanding the real-time parking sharing service through integration with private parking sharing companies and the 'Seoul Parking Information App.'

IoT-based real-time parking sharing works by detecting vehicle presence through IoT sensors attached to the Green Parking parking surface, providing users with real-time parking information. Those who share their parking spaces can earn extra income by sharing their vacant parking spots during unused times.

Drivers can check available shared parking spaces nearby via the Seoul City 'Seoul Parking Information' app and make reservations and payments seamlessly through linked private parking sharing apps.

Additionally, starting this year, applicants for the Green Parking project who install IoT sensors and participate in parking sharing will receive priority subsidies. The installation cost of IoT sensors will be fully supported. Regarding this, Seoul City is continuously recruiting citizens interested in participating in the real-time parking sharing system through the relevant departments of each autonomous district.

Meanwhile, Seoul City's 'Green Parking' project, which creates parking spaces by removing fences, supports not only detached houses but also neighborhood living facilities and apartments (multi-family housing) that can share parking with nearby residents at night.

Hwang Bo-yeon, Director of the Urban Transportation Office of Seoul City, said, "While the focus has been on physically securing parking spaces, the introduction of 'IoT-based real-time parking sharing' is expected to contribute to alleviating parking difficulties in residential areas by sharing parking spaces during vacant times and generating additional income." He added, "We hope for active participation from citizens."
