Automated street parking piloted in Hanoi
Published: 20/03/2017 06:50
An automated car parking technology will be piloted on two streets in the capital city in the second quarter of this year.
Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chung has instructed the city’s Department of Transport to pilot the iParking technology for car parking management on Ly Thuong Kiet Street and Tran Hung Dao Street. The project is part of efforts to improve urban order by monitoring the number of vehicles using parking lots and preventing the lack of transparency in collecting parking fees, he said at a recent meeting with the city’s Steering Committee on Traffic Safety. Nguyen Tuan Duc, head of the department’s urban transport infrastructure division, said earlier last week that the concerned units, including the technology provider, have been informed of the project. “We will try to finish the venue scouting and planning phrase by March 30 so we can start applying the new system on April 1,” he said. Under the project, surveillance cameras will be installed at the parking lots, recording the number of vehicles, their parking duration and the number of parking slots available. The information will be relayed to a data processing centre. A sensor device will be attached to the camera poles to read electronic parking cards and record vehicles’ information – such as license number, vehicle type, time-in and time-out. “The system will inform drivers on the availability of parking slots on each street, which will not only help save time and resources but also reduce traffic,” a representative of the technology provider said. The technique of angle parking has been piloted on Ly Thuong Kiet and Tran Hung Dao streets. However, since this takes up a large road surface area, the department plans to repaint the roads so vehicles will park straight along the streets under the new system. The automated parking system would stabilise parking fees and gradually replace the traditional vehicle watching services, according to Duc. |
