Cocoparks, a leading curb and parking management startup based in France, is proud to announce the deployment of its innovative smart parking technology in the city of Shimla, India. This project marks a significant milestone in Cocoparks’ mission to transform urban mobility and optimize parking management globally through cutting-edge technology. It will be deployed by end of 2024.
The project in Shimla aims to address the city’s longstanding parking challenges by introducing a revolutionary technology that detects available parking spots in real-time. By leveraging advanced sensors and data analytics, Cocoparks’ solution promises to reduce traffic congestion, enhance urban mobility, and improve the overall quality of life for residents and visitors. As a signatory city of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy (GCoM), Shimla is deeply committed to reduce CO2 emissions.
Impact on Shimla
Shimla, known for its picturesque landscapes and bustling streets, has long faced issues related to inadequate parking facilities and traffic congestion. The introduction of Cocoparks’ smart parking system is expected to have a profound impact on the city’s transportation infrastructure. With real-time data on parking availability, drivers can quickly locate vacant spots, reducing the time spent searching for parking and minimizing traffic disruptions. This innovative approach is set to create a more efficient and sustainable urban environment.
