SPARTA PROJECT
Smart Parking and Traffic Analysis to Reduce Pollution
The SPARTA (Smart Parking and Traffic Analysis to Reduce Pollution) research project, which aimed to study the use of innovative technologies, electronic systems, information systems integrated with IOT (Internet of Things) for management optimal and eco-sustainable flow of vehicular traffic in parking areas.
In detail the project, developed by Techno DESIGN S.r.l. in collaboration between INNOVA S.r.l., CARSO TECHNOLOGIES S.r.l., GREENVULCANO S.r.l., TECH TRON S.r.l., has created an integrated smart parking system that allows the user to choose, via the app, their destination and receive in real time, from the SPARTA system, the indications on the best parking to go to and guided navigation to the designated parking space.
In a nutshell, the complex IT system of calculation SPARTA ("back end"), based on the inputs received in real time from the environmental detection system located on the territory (environmental detection control units and IoT systems of smark parking), processes and communicates with the mobile APP. ("Front end") indicating to the user the freest area, the one closest to a particular POI (Point of interest), with a cheaper price etc.
This data allows the user to choose the car park that best suits their needs and drive towards it guided by the navigation function integrated in the mobile App interface.
One of the objectives of the project (perhaps the most important) was to verify the possibility, through the adoption of the SPARTA system in a particular area, to reduce environmental pollution caused by the exhaust gases of combustion vehicles. The project has evolved in its final phase with a Trial that was carried out in some car parks located in the municipality of Naples.
