A smart parking system assisted by an app will put an end to parking woes in Bengaluru. Introduced by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), the systems will be installed in the heart of the city. The first automated on-street pay-parking facility will be implemented in 85 places. With the help of the electronic sensors installed at the parking spot, the time of entry and exit of a vehicle can be monitored, while CCTV cameras record any illegal entry. There will also be automatic ticket vending machines at each parking spot.
The Smart Parking system will cover around 9,000 vehicles – 3,000 cars and 6,000 bikes – with three different parking packages for each. Roads will be divided according to these packages, namely A, B and C. The hourly parking fees will be different for both bikes and cars in each package.
