Inadequate parking is the bane of many cities, both large and small. Having ample parking discourages people from using public transportation, adding to congestion and pollution. But a lack of parking can also discourage people from coming into city and town centres at all and makes deliveries difficult. Now, a trial project is using AI to help cities get the balance just right. The project is being led by Fetch.ai and blockchain company Datarella and is currently undergoing a trial in a parking garage in Munich. The goal is to use AI to change the cost of parking in real-time, based on where and when people chose to park. The AI-powered platform links to cameras placed in parking garages and includes an app that drivers can use to automatically book spaces when they know they need to drive. The system then analyses the available spaces and sets prices. However, the platform can also inform drivers of available spaces farther from their destination, and price those cheaper.
