Worldsensing's smart parking system Fastprk is deployed in Graz

The Town Council of Graz (Austria), through Q-Free , has decided to trial Worldsensing’s Smart Parking System, Fastprk, in order to offer a solution that guides drivers to parking spaces, through panels in the streets.

The Fastprk system will be able to assess KPI’s (key performance indicators) such as occupancy levels per hours and days of the week. Drivers will benefit from being guided to general and disabled parking spaces, while congestion, and thus pollution, are reduced.

The city will be able to establish the best strategy depending on occupancy in each area. After a first trial period, the implementation of Fastprk to other areas of the city will be considered. The system will also be scalable to other cities in Austria.
