In Wiesbaden, DIGI-P makes it easier to find parking spaces with digital ground sensors, reducing search traffic and increasing efficiency. Okari is supporting the project from conception and tendering to implementation.
Challenge
Parking space is scarce in Wiesbaden, especially at central transfer points. Many drivers waste time looking for parking spaces, which causes additional traffic and emissions. At the same time, there is often a lack of up-to-date information about available spaces at park-and-ride facilities.
To make switching to eco-friendly modes of transport more attractive, ESWE Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH wants to digitize parking and make traffic more sustainable.
Solution
In the DigiPark Wiesbaden project, digital ground sensors are being installed at several park-and-ride facilities. They record in real time which parking spaces are free or occupied. This data is fed into the municipal traffic control system DIGI-V and the Mobilithek.
This allows travelers to see where free spaces are available before they arrive. This reduces traffic searching for parking spaces and makes it easier to switch to buses and trains.
Our tasks include:
- Market analysis and evaluation of existing systems
- Concept development at field and system level
- Planning, tendering, and technical design
- Implementation and project management
- Support with data integration and system operation
Added value
DigiPark Wiesbaden demonstrates how digital sensor technology can make parking spaces more efficient while reducing traffic congestion. The city obtains precise data on parking space usage, enabling targeted control and planning.
For road users, this means less traffic searching for parking spaces, less stress, and more time saved. At the same time, the connection to public transportation improves the entire mobility chain and supports sustainable transportation concepts.
