Parking and curb-space: can you map it in real-time?

What it takes to create a crowd-sourced identification of free, on-street, parking

During February 2021 we used images collected from dash cams and AI to map on-street parking spots in Milan. We wanted to understand the city’s curb-side and prove the value of real-time, free-parking-spot detections for drivers and cities.

During the pilot, we wanted to answer many questions:

How precise are free parking spot detections?
How many spots can vision technology detect? How many with telemetry?
What is the value of parking regulation data?

The report contains the answers — check it out, here.
