Under the leadership of the Traffic Management Center, a pilot project has been launched to integrate parking spaces into a single urban management system.

Chaotic parking in high-activity areas remains one of the key problems of the urban environment. Cars are often placed on sidewalks, along driveways, and at building entrances, which narrows passageways, impairs visibility, and reduces security.

The project is based on the creation of a safe and comfortable environment for pedestrians, as well as the systematic ordering of parking space.

As part of the initiative, private flat parking lots at retail and service facilities are being connected to a single urban system. This will allow:

·         keep transparent records of parking spaces

·         monitor their occupancy

·         and create clear and uniform rules of use

The data center provides centralized regulation and control, which will eliminate spontaneous parking and increase the efficiency of urban space use.

The project is being implemented in a pilot format with subsequent evaluation of the results and the possibility of scaling up taking into account public opinion.

Additionally, a source of income is being created, which will be directed to the project areas for the development of road and urban infrastructure.

For reference:

According to data center analysts, in areas of high urban activity, up to 20-30% of cars park with violations. At the same time, the occupancy of sidewalks by transport and other obstacles can reduce their capacity by 40-60%.

In congested areas, up to 30% of the traffic flow, and in some locations - up to 40%, is formed due to the search for a parking space.

Global practice confirms the effectiveness of centralized digital solutions. Thus, the introduction of a parking management system in San Francisco (the SFpark program) has reduced parking search time by up to 43% and mileage by 30%. In Moscow, similar measures have led to a 64% reduction in parking violations, an increase in the average speed to 56 km/h, and the formation of a sustainable source of financing for landscaping.

The project is aimed at reducing conflicts between road users, improving safety and creating a sustainable and predictable urban order.
