DATA INTEGRATION OF THE PARKING LOTS IN THE PRAGUE CATCHMENT AREA

The aim of the project is to streamline the parking of the passenger cars in the parking lots within the Prague catchment area. It is targeting those passengers using the public transport system and its planning their further journey via the PID Litacka mobile application. Increasing the level of information about the parking options behind outside of the city will eliminate the transportation burden withing Prague borders. Higher efficiency of using the parking lots’ spaces outside Prague will be reached by integrating static geospatial data, static domain data, dynamic information on the available capacity of the parking spaces within the Prague catchment area together with the integration of the reservation and payment services. Many actors participate on the project including the city’s organisations and the regional transport organisers, as well as the parking lots operators, parking technologies providers and autonomies within the area. The project maps the whole region of Prague catchment area – the area serviced by the Prague Integrated Transportation.
