App points way to parking

HANGZHOU’S urban management authority has developed an app known as Tiexin Chengguan to provide users with useful local in­formation about parking availability.

Hangzhou’s parking guidance and information system was first adopt­ed by Shangcheng District in 2010. Geomagnetic sensors were installed at 2,800 parking places in the dis­trict to gather parking information. After analyzing this information with big data technology, the system can guide drivers to available park­ing spots.

Drivers can click a destination on the Tiexin Chengguan app to get detailed information, such as parking spot vacancies. Drivers can also get directions to available park­ing spots. This system now covers most districts of the city in order to improve the utilization of parking spaces.
