HUB: An Advanced Parking Solution for the City of Cagliari

Cagliari, the main urban center of Sardinia, is a port city that blends a strong historical identity with an increasingly international outlook. Its strategic location makes it a reference hub for tourism and commercial flows. In recent years, the city has experienced a growing demand for efficient and accessible services. In this dynamic context, mobility and parking management represent a fundamental lever to improve urban quality life and ensure a positive experience for both residents and visitors.

Parkar, the company responsible for parking management and jointly owned by CTM SpA and the Municipality of Cagliari, together with HUB Italia, developed a project for the modernization and centralization of four parking facilities in the city center: Manzoni, Cesare Battisti, Nazzari, and Piazza Nuova.

Before the intervention, the systems were outdated and no longer suited to meet the increasing turnover of users and their diverse needs. The goal was to create an integrated and reliable system capable of effectively monitoring and managing access, while also improving service levels and the perception of safety.

HUB Italia implemented a modern and scalable parking system based on the JMS (Janus Management System) software, enabling the Municipality of Cagliari to monitor and manage all four parking facilities from a single interface. Through JMS, the operator can view the status of the facilities in real time, control access, analyze usage data, and respond promptly when needed. In particular, the advanced reporting and monitoring features have proven essential for improving operational management and supporting strategic decisions, always informed by performance analysis.

All parking facilities have been equipped with entry terminals, issuing tickets for occasional users and License Plate Recognition (LPR) systems for subscribers, as well as APS Automatic Pay Stations offering multiple payment methods, including cash, credit cards, and mobile/app payments.

Parkar has recognized HUB Italia as a trusted partner, with a strong presence in the region and the ability to provide timely maintenance and support services. The reliability of the technology and the performance of the JMS software have fully met the operator’s expectations and the desired standards of excellence, especially in terms of operational control and data analysis.

We are proud to have contributed to the modernization of the city’s infrastructure, offering residents and visitors a smoother, more efficient mobility experience aligned with the identity and ongoing evolution of Cagliari.
