Free parking spaces visible online in real time
Sensors in several Park & Ride car parks indicate occupancy
The Department of Transport and Public Works has equipped various car parks in the city with a sensor system that records occupancy. With the built-in technology, drivers can now see in advance online, e.g. via smartphone, whether and where parking spaces are still available in the relevant car park.
The car parks are so-called Park & Ride car parks and are located at public transport connections. Particularly in view of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025, this is intended to make it easier for guests and locals to use Park & Ride car parks if they can see the current occupancy status at any time.
Specifically, this concerns the following P&R car parks:
- Stollberger Straße/Südring
- Wolgograder Allee/Marie-Tilch-Straße, terminus of tram lines 4 and 5 Hutholz
- Terminus of tram line 2 in Bernsdorf
- Northern car park of the Chemnitz Centre, Ringstraße
The occupancy status is recorded seamlessly with the installed sensors. The data collected on car park occupancy is displayed in real time on a map at www.chemnitz.de/parkandride and at www.CVAG.de/parkandride.
The project was realised under the name DIPURIC (Digital Information on Park & (and) Ride in Chemnitz). It is supported by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport Affairs (BMDV) as part of the "Digitalisation of municipal transport systems" funding programme.
