Parking lot sensors in Fallersleben
The parking lot on Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben Straße becomes a real-world laboratory for the smart city
The utilization of the parking lot is to be determined by testing new sensors. The assessment of parking space utilization results from the project to expand and renovate the Fallersleben local fire department. With the construction of a new building for the local fire department, the parking spaces to the west of the fire station will be built over. The city now wants to check whether the parking lot on Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben Straße is sufficiently designed to accommodate the parking spaces that will be removed. To this end, ground sensors will be glued to the individual parking spaces.
The sensors provide the data required to assess whether the parking lot can compensate for the number of parking spaces that will be lost. They record whether a parking space is occupied and for how long. By recording actual usage, data-based conclusions can be drawn as to whether measures to increase capacity should be considered. The survey period will probably extend over several months. During this time, the parking lot can be used as usual free of charge and without restrictions on the maximum parking time.
The parking lot will be closed from 01 July to 03 July for the installation of the ground sensors.
