Established in Nice in 2020, SmartBot Parking comprises a team of three professionals dedicated to developing innovative solutions for smart cities. Their intelligent parking system addresses the need for optimized traffic flow and parking management in urban areas by providing drivers with easy access to available parking spaces through a user-friendly application, thereby simplifying and enhancing the parking management process for cities.
Преимущества решения для интеллектуальной парковки
The company has developed a unique technology that combines connected sensors (IoT), image processing, and automated data transmission. This integration supports the entire parking process for all vehicle types and outdoor parking areas, including blue zones and restricted parking spaces.
SmartBot Parking contributes to accelerating the digital transformation of cities by offering a parking management solution based on innovative, connected, and energy-efficient technology. Their system improves traffic flow by reducing the time drivers spend searching for parking, thereby promoting environmental sustainability and enhancing residents’ quality of life.
Financially, municipalities can expect an increase in parking compliance rates (actual payment rates) and a reduction in enforcement costs, with the potential to eliminate fines.

The Côte d’Azur team primarily focuses on research and development activities aimed at implementing a pilot project. This research encompasses both the data collection columns and the image processing software that extracts useful data (license plates) from photographs, transmitting only this information to their servers.
Data processing is secure, ensuring user confidentiality in compliance with GDPR regulations. The team is working to build a solution that is efficient in both data processing and energy consumption. This involves developing situational imaging technology that activates only at key moments in the parking process, collecting only the data necessary for processing.
Причины создания на кот -д'Азуре
The Côte d’Azur and Russia share privileged relations, and the region’s reputation is well-established. Seeking a better quality of life and a milder climate for himself and his family, CEO Dmitrii Oreshkin chose the Côte d’Azur after obtaining a skills and talents visa to settle in France.
Beyond the natural advantages of the Côte d’Azur, the decision was also influenced by the opportunity to be part of an innovative territory where research and development activities related to Smart Cities are encouraged. The development of Nice Eco-Vallée is an excellent example of integrating greentech, smart grids, and IT solutions to serve the region and its inhabitants.
