Checking the parking status of public parking lots using TMAP navigation.

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Starting this September, users will be able to check real-time availability of parking spaces at major public parking lots in Seoul through the TMAP navigation app. This is the first time that public parking information is being linked in real-time with a private navigation service.

On the 26th, Seoul Metropolitan Government and TMAP Mobility announced that they signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the expansion of real-time parking information services at a meeting held in the conference room of Seosomun 1 Building, Seoul City Hall.

The core of this agreement is the real-time linkage of parking information held by both Seoul City and TMAP Mobility. Seoul City will provide basic information and real-time available parking spaces of public parking lots from its Parking Information Guidance System, while TMAP Mobility will share real-time parking data collected through the TMAP parking service.

As a result, the 'Seoul Parking Information' application, which had mainly provided information on public parking lots, will now offer more information on private parking lots, and the TMAP navigation app will allow users to check real-time availability of parking spaces at major public parking lots in Seoul.

Currently, there are a total of 974 public parking lots in Seoul (according to the Public Data Portal), of which 350 parking lots' available spaces can be checked in real-time on TMAP. The remaining 624 provide only information such as location, fees, and operating hours.

Kim Min-oh, Head of the DI Group at TMAP Mobility, said, "This collaboration will enhance driver convenience and significantly improve parking lot operation efficiency. Going forward, TMAP will continue to lead innovation in parking culture and advance its services to satisfy both demand and supply sides."
