In today's blog, we feature an In the Spotlight interview with Rob Matthews, Vice President of Sales & Business Development. As curbside safety and enforcement become increasingly important in cities worldwide, companies like MPS are developing innovative solutions to address these challenges. In this article, we’re resharing our recent In the Spotlight interview, where Rob discusses how the SafetyStick solution is helping cities tackle illegal parking in critical areas, improve pedestrian safety, and support more effective enforcement.

For decades, mobility was organised as a set of adjacent domains. Traffic engineering optimised flow. Parking operations managed supply and compliance. Road safety focused on reducing harm. Traffic management coordinated movement through signals, restrictions, and control systems. This separation was logical. Each discipline had its own tools, its own objectives, and its own operational logic. But the street itself never operated that way. On the street, demand competes with constraint. Behaviour responds to incentives. Space is finite, and every allocation produces consequences elsewhere.

During my visit to see Assured Technologies’ solutions in action at Munich Airport, Haakon Holm and Mert Gemerekli guided me through a fully operational rental return ecosystem operated by Assured Europe. What stood out immediately is how structured and integrated the entire flow is. This is not just AI inspection. It is a complete operational system. The full cycle – from vehicle return to ready-for-rent– takes less than 60 minutes outside of peak hours, and even then everything is processed a lot quicker than the traditional airport model that requires vehicles …

As 2026 begins, we at Parking Network are reflecting on a year filled with innovation, collaboration, and remarkable milestones in the parking and mobility industry. 2025 was a year where technology, sustainability, and community came together to shape the future of parking worldwide. Innovation at the Core Last year, technology continued to reshape parking. AI-driven management systems, automated valet solutions, advanced ANPR and computer vision applications, and dynamic pricing models helped operators increase efficiency, improve customer experience, and optimize revenue streams.

Dynamic pricing is becoming a staple across many industries—and parking is no exception. Once the domain of airlines and hotels, the strategy of adjusting prices based on demand is increasingly being applied to car parks, from airports to shopping centers. For operators, it offers the promise of higher revenue and better utilization of parking assets. But from the user’s perspective, the experience can feel less like innovation and more like frustration. From a business standpoint, the appeal is clear.

The airport parking landscape is rapidly evolving, driven by technology, data, and changing passenger expectations. For parking professionals and airport representatives, staying ahead means more than adopting new gadgets—it requires a strategic view of emerging trends, transformative technologies, and scalable solutions that shape the future of parking operations. 1. Automation: Streamlining Operations and Reducing Friction Automation is no longer optional—it’s essential for efficiency and customer satisfaction.
