Smart parking is an increasingly popular solution for cities looking to optimize their parking management in urban areas. The system helps control public car parks, automate data collection and payment, and reduce parking management maintenance costs.

One of the companies offering a smart parking solution is Smartbot Parking, an innovative company (3) based in Nice. Their smart parking system uses onboard cameras in the terminal to capture license plates of cars entering and exiting public car parks, allowing real-time parking levels to be monitored. Users can pay for their parking through a mobile app, eliminating the need for expensive vending machines and maintenance staff.

Compared to traditional parking systems, Smartbot Parking offers several advantages. First of all, their system is more convenient for users, because there is no longer any need to look for an ATM to withdraw money or to have the cash.
In addition, the system is more accurate in controlling parking spaces and reducing errors related to parking billing.
Finally, the system reduces maintenance costs thanks to the automation of data collection and payment. (1).

It should be noted that Smartbot Parking is not the only company offering a smart parking solution. However, their system is unique in that it uses on-board cameras to capture license plates, allowing for more accurate real-time monitoring. In addition, their system is compatible with mobile applications, which makes the user experience more convenient and smoother. (2).
