Urbanco Introduces First-Ever Smart Parking Solution in Hulhumale’

Urbanco has launched the first smart parking solution in Hulhumale’ City. Located near the ferry terminal area, the smart parking zone is expected to bring a transformative change to conventional parking in the Maldives.

The newly introduced smart parking solution will be supported by 24-hour CCTV surveillance and will be open for rent. Moreover, state-of-the-art Computer Vision-enabled cameras will be employed at the parking zone to detect vehicles and their license plates before opening the parking gate. Likewise, modern technological developments such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will also allow drivers to navigate through the zone more conveniently.

Urbanco also stated that the zone will offer special parking lots for short-term and long-term parking for drivers as well as designated slots featured for people with disabilities. Along with the smart parking solution, the corporation has also developed an application which will enable parkers to see vacant spaces in the zone, parking fees, make reservations and more. The application is supported on both IOS and Android devices as well.

As Hulhumale’ becomes more urbanized, one of the most significant problems faced is traffic congestion. A number of factors contribute to the road traffic increase including the lack of parking spaces, which poses a key challenge to many residents of Hulhumale’.
