General information

Short Summary
An innovative startup developed an Integrated Smart Parking System aiming at solving a major problem affecting the viability of small and large urban centers, search for parking. The system, based on a series of patented sensors and a mobility monitoring IT system, can be integrated into any pre-existing or future mobility infrastructure from a MaaS (Mobility as a Service) perspective. The SME looks for an industrial partner who can support and/or invest, also by supplying the sensor components.
Full Description
The innovative startup from North-West of Italy was born with the aim of solving the major problems affecting the viability of small and large urban centers; the cars looking for a free slot in city roads or parking facilities generate an extra traffic with negative impact on the environment.

The SME developed an Integrated Smart Parking System, a hardware & software infrastructure that goes from the installation of a series of patented sensors to a traffic and mobility monitoring IT system. Data accuracy is guaranteed by the Artificial Intelligence Algorithm.
The system is designed to be integrated into any pre-existing or future mobility infrastructure from a MaaS (Mobility as a Service) perspective.

The ultra-thin patented sensors can be positioned on the road surface through a specific adhesive material. Through these devices, the status of parking areas is detected in real time and communicated through the most recent IoT technologies to the proprietary platform.
The system aims at the development of MaaS (Mobility as a Service), therefore, it can be easily integrated into any municipal app, parking management infrastructure and urban and extra-urban mobility apps.

The company pays due attention to environmental issues trying not to affect the ecosystem in which they integrate the solution. Their goal is to offer a product entirely designed and manufactured starting from recycled materials or by recycling themselves.

The start-up already won a series of prizes. It is starting a pilot project with an Italian national road management company, and a collaboration with an electric charging station and electric mobility provider.

They are looking for investors, technological partners (suppliers of the sensors) and manufacturing partners (to industrialise the device).
Advantages and Innovations
SMART PARKING ADHESIVE SENSOR: the sensor installation is non-invasive because positioned by gluing to the road surface, and it is ultra-thin so as not to generate bulk; resistant to the weight of cars, atmospheric phenomena and asphalt temperatures; Real-time communication; Five-year battery life.

SMART PARKING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: the software system created to manage the data generated by the sensors and provide them to all mobility and traffic providers, can be integrated directly into their systems.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
The partner sought can be: an Industrial partner who can support and/or invest in the SMe, also by supplying the sensor components
