Westminster council has anounced that it will shortly be installing sensors in parking spaces that will be able to detect if a car is parked over it and therefore determine if the space is free. It will then send the information to an app, where drivers will be able to find in an empty space in real time.
It is reported that 3,000 sensors will be installed at first across the West End, each with a battery life of five to seven years. And according to the results, Westminster will increase this number to 7, 000.
It is hoped this project will reduce congestion and pollution as it is understood that it takes a driver on average 15 minutes to find a parking spot in the area. (suite…)
