[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Tae-min] EasySpark, an IT company specializing in parking sharing and control platforms, announced that it will begin installation and operation of an unmanned on-street parking lot system using ground control devices in Geoje City, Gyeongnam Province.


Following installations and operations in public on-street parking lots in Yeosu City, Jeonnam Province, and Jeju Island, EasySpark has started a pilot project in Geoje City, Gyeongnam Province, and will operate it from January 3.


EasySpark’s on-street parking operation system, ‘EasyLocker,’ works by raising a control device embedded in the ground when a vehicle parks. Upon exit, users can settle parking fees at a nearby payment terminal or by scanning a QR code attached to each parking space. This activates the ground control device to allow the vehicle to exit, enabling contactless and unmanned operation.


EasySpark stated that its on-street parking system primarily shares parking spaces with vehicles wanting to park during off-peak hours and distributes the resulting revenue, aiming to realize a sharing economy that benefits both users and providers. It is a parking sharing platform similar to the lodging sharing platform Airbnb or the vehicle sharing platform Uber.


Geoje City plans to expand the EasySpark on-street parking system to all paid public on-street parking lots managed by the city based on the operation results of about 100 on-street parking spaces in the Gohyeon-dong downtown area after system implementation.



Lee Chang-wook, CEO of EasySpark, said, “We will strive to introduce this technology to all on-street parking lots nationwide by realizing contactless unmanned parking solutions using IoT and AI technologies to address one of the domestic social issues, parking problems.” He added, “This item also contributes to solving the practical issues regarding electric vehicle charging infrastructure, which all local governments in Korea are concerned about.”
