#News(General) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
Imagine you’re driving to work in the city and you’re notified there are no spaces left in the office car park. But there is one five minutes’ walk away – so your GPS system reroutes you there, saving you time and the hassle of finding a space yourself. A connected, seamless parking experience.
This could be the future of intelligent parking, according to Dr Prasant Misra, Research and Innovation Scientist at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).
Not only would it help you, the driver, but by reducing the amount of time you spend driving around looking for a parking space, it could also cut congestion on the road and the pollution coming from your car.
This new ecosystem model is something that TCS is calling ‘Parking 4.0’.
“It’s a new way of thinking about parking,” Dr Misra says. “So instead of operating in a siloed manner as is currently the case, parking will be part of a broader mobility ecosystem.”
“Parking 4.0 will build a much more collaborative business model, with advanced analytics and user-experience engineering, delivering greater value to its customers.”
