Intelligent parking space management at charging stations

The increasing use of electric cars and charging stations opens up new opportunities for their integration into smart parking systems. Charging stations can be networked together and the data collected can be used to monitor and manage parking occupancy more effectively or to determine the energy requirements of electric vehicles, among other things. Using the data from the charging stations, the municipality or public utility can more efficiently handle and manage parking spaces designated for charging purposes. 

Sustainability check: How does intelligent parking management help at charging stations?

  • Providing real-time information and rule-based notifications to identify parking violations at e-charging stations and enforce rules to ensure a lucrative business model
  • More efficient and meaningful use of e-charging stations
  • Effective monitoring of the charging status of electric vehicles
  • Improved data availability and data collection for the city
  • Support and foundation for the growing market of e-vehicles
  • Opening of data silos through linking of diverse data
  • In the future, the system can also be used to control charging cycles depending on grid stability and renewable energies

Requirements: What is needed for this solution?

  • Charging stations and parking sensors must be installed and connected to a data platform that allows data integration and notification when irregular usage (e.g., parked cars not charging) of the parking lot is detected.
  • Network coverage is critical and should already be in place for the deployment of smart parking systems.

Our Rating:

As the total volume of data increases dramatically with the additional devices installed for smart parking, the level of complexity for management also increases. Nevertheless, cities can adapt and use the potential of the data by, for example, using a data platform for better decision-making and planning. Such changes can improve the utilization of e-charging stations. In the future, such a system could also be used to trigger automatic messages to the law and code enforcement agencies or towing services, for example. 

Which SDGS are addressed?

In order to create globally sustainable structures, the member states of the United Nations have set themselves 17 goals by 2030, which are set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
