Open-Data Smart Parking
Copenhagen
Copenhagen, Denmark
Highlight
Predicts free parking spaces from existing data and shares it via an open API, cutting search traffic and emissions.
Extended description
Copenhagen's smart-parking project helps drivers find spaces faster, reducing the congestion and CO2 emissions caused by circling for parking. Instead of a costly sensor rollout, it combines existing traffic and payment data with machine-learning predictions of which spaces are likely free. The service is offered through an open, free API that developers can integrate into apps and navigation platforms, showing how open data can improve urban mobility at low cost.
