Pavapark will implement 2,000 smart parking spaces in Valencia.
The city of Valencia is gradually moving toward becoming “smarter.” In addition to containers that notify the administration when they are full and public Wi-Fi networks distributed throughout the city, the city council will improve its “smart” parking project. This project, initiated by the previous municipal government, takes another step forward this Friday with the award of the contract for the installation of new sensors for smart parking space management, in addition to those already in place since 2022. Thus, this Friday, the Governing Board awarded the aforementioned contract to Pavapark for almost one million euros (982,000 euros). The contract aims to “increase the number of sensor-equipped parking spaces” for people with reduced mobility and loading and unloading areas. Specifically, the plan is to implement 2,000 new sensors, which are responsible for recognizing the status of each space in real time, information that is integrated into the municipal platform, which is already in operation. Valencia City Council currently has 1,098 parking sensors (689 for reduced mobility, 317 for loading and unloading, and 92 at taxi ranks). Another tender is underway to install sensors for an additional 250 spaces. This contract would add to the two thousand new sensors distributed throughout
