// Case Study
Vodafone & PRS
Smart parking for efficient parking space management.
Together with Vodafone, a digital parking solution was implemented that creates real-time transparency of parking spaces, makes it easier for users to find a parking space, and provides the basis for data-driven decisions in operations.
- Industry: Telecommunications / parking space management
- Use case: Smart parking & digital user information
- Area type: Customer and employee parking spaces
- Technology: IoT parking sensors & platform
// Overview
Initial situation & objectives.
For the Vodafone-PRS site, a smart parking solution was to be created that would make the utilization of parking spaces transparent, simplify parking searches for users, and digitally support operational processes.
With the help of parking sensors, connectivity and a central platform, occupancy data is recorded in real time and made usable for various applications – from live visualization to analytics for parking space management.
Project challenges.
- Non-transparent utilization of parking areas over the course of the day
- Parking search without digital support
- High coordination effort in daily operations
- Lack of data basis for strategic decisions

More Information// Solution & implementation
Digital parking solution with IoT sensor technology.
The core of the project is the combination of robust parking sensors, secure data transmission and a central platform that brings together all relevant information.
- Installation of parking sensors in selected areas
- Real-time transmission of occupancy data via the mobile network
- Visualization of parking space utilization in the dashboard
- Provision of interfaces (APIs) for other systems
Implementation & rollout.
Implementation was carried out in close coordination with the on-site project team – from area analysis and sensor position planning through to commissioning.
- Area analysis & design of sensor locations
- Installation and commissioning of the sensor technology
- Connection to the Smart City System platform
- Testing, fine-tuning and handover to live operations
// Results
More transparency, better utilization, less search traffic.
With the introduction of the smart parking solution, both operators and users benefit – from clear real-time information to better planning reliability.
Transparent utilization
Real-time overview of the occupancy of parking spaces – the basis for operational decisions and strategic further development.
Less search traffic
Targeted user guidance reduces parking search traffic and relieves traffic areas around the site.
Digital data basis
Historical and current data support reporting, area planning and future investments.
