Smart parking management system to improve urban mobility and air quality

The SIGNORA project (Smart parkInG for efficient urbaN mObility aiR quAlity enhancement) is part of the European CLIMABOROUGH initiative and aims to improve urban mobility and air quality through the development of an innovative smart parking solution in the city of Sofia (implementation site).

Detailed project description

The project is implemented through an Innovation Partnership model, which includes four main phases:

Design and prototype development: requirements analysis based on the needs and challenges of the city of Sofia
Pilot implementation and testing: deployment of the solution in a real urban environment for evaluation
Evaluation and optimization: data collection, performance assessment, and analysis of environmental impacts
Final adaptation and delivery: refinement of the solution, documentation, and transfer to the relevant authorities

The main objective of the project is to demonstrate that smart parking technologies, combined with environmental data analysis, can:

reduce traffic congestion,
reduce emissions,
promote sustainable urban mobility solutions,
improve the overall quality of life in cities.

The solution to be developed is intended to serve as a replicable model that can be deployed in other European cities within the CLIMABOROUGH framework.
