As urban populations continue to grow, smart cities embody a vision of the future where technology is essential in managing services, transportation, and resources. The Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress, co-located with the Smart City World Congress 2024, set to take place in Barcelona from November 5-7, has become the go-to event for smart urban mobility, bringing together experts, organizations, and leaders to discuss how we can make urban mobility safer and more sustainable for all.
Will we be able to make a difference? Visit us at our booth E174 in Hall 2 to discover the answer with our in-stand seminars showcasing the power of innovative urban parking, encouraging public transport through integrated mobility, and much more.
For now, here is a sneak peek at the programme!
Parking as the Gateway to Smart Mobility
Parking is a crucial element in the evolving landscape of urban mobility. Despite the rise of car sharing, ride-hailing, micromobility, and autonomous vehicles, private cars still account for half of all journeys.
This underscores the ongoing need for effective parking solutions. Smart parking solutions are essential for enhancing the efficiency of the transportation network, reducing urban traffic congestion, and supporting multimodal transport options.
These intelligent parking systems integrate seamlessly with Smart City principles, leveraging advances in industrial automation, wireless networks, and sensor communication to manage parking more effectively and sustainably.
What is a Smart City?
A Smart City aims to promote a more inclusive vision of urban living. Through increasingly interconnected services and real-time information, citizens can enjoy a sustainable, healthy, and safe lifestyle as they navigate and inhabit urban spaces.
Smart Cities can significantly improve quality of life by saving time, reducing waste, and strengthening social connections. This involves new tools supported by technology to enhance public transport, urban mobility, and overall city functionality.
Our Case Studies Meeting Smart Needs
Public transportation systems like buses, subways, and trains are central to urban life, reducing private car usage and traffic congestion.
Our presence at Tomorrow.Mobility highlights our role in smart mobility, showcasing collaborations with mobility operators like AMTAB in Italy for the integration with public transport systems, and Cicletteria di Parma for shared mobility solutions.
All cases reflect the importance of alternative modes of transport in Smart Cities, allowing numerous mobility needs to be satisfied while improving users’ customer experience at the same time.
Smart Parking Technologies
Our exceptional R&D team across two continents develops, integrates, and deploys various smart parking technologies to tackle urban challenges:
- Fleet Operations Optimization: JMS business enhances heavy vehicle management, alleviating local traffic congestion.
- Mobile Solutions: the J4M validation, JPass app, J4Pay, and open payment platforms elevate the parking experience through cutting-edge technology.
- Traffic Congestion: the JMS management system analysis real-time data to manage traffic flows around parking areas, reducing congestion.
- Ticketless systems: these systems save paper and streamline the parking process, particularly when integrated with contactless and digital payment methods.
- Intelligent Use of Information: cloud-based analytics optimize parking operations and provide valuable information for urban development planning.
- Adaptive Pricing: demand-based parking rates promote efficient space utilization and ensure robust revenue streams.
- Accessibility: The Jupiter range complies with international accessibility standards, ensuring that parking facilities are inclusive for all users.
Eco-friendlier Future
As urbanization, industrialization, and resource consumption continue to grow, the environmental challenges we face also increase. At HUB Parking Technology, together with our parent company FAAC Technologies, we are firmly dedicated to sustainability and decarbonization within Smart Cities.
Smart parking enhances the quality of life in cities, significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and optimizes resource use. Thus, we support electric vehicles (EVs) by facilitating the integration of EV charging solutions. This shift towards a sustainable transportation ecosystem aims to be more inclusive, safe and efficient.
As the Smart City concept continues to develop, the importance of technology providers like HUB Parking grows significantly. Our vision extends beyond the present, envisioning a future where parking is not just a place to leave your car, but a crucial element in the urban mobility ecosystem.
