Managing parking availability is a growing challenge for busy destinations. By combining Artificial Intelligence with Open Data Hub services, Ithel developed a solution that turns real-time parking data into valuable information for mobility management and decision-making.
Ithel develops intelligent video surveillance systems and decision-support dashboards that combine information from multiple data sources. Rather than simply displaying camera feeds, the platform integrates data from intelligent cameras, Open Data Hub and other external sources into a single interface, enabling operators to monitor situations in real time and respond quickly when action is needed.
In the Villandro project, AI-powered cameras act as intelligent sensors. Instead of transmitting entire video streams, the system automatically extracts relevant information such as parking occupancy and the estimated number of available spaces, filtering out unnecessary data. This reduces information overload and provides operators with clear, meaningful insights.
The solution also enables historical analysis by correlating parking occupancy with factors such as weather conditions, weekdays and local events. Combined with AI-based forecasting, municipalities can anticipate traffic peaks, plan staff and services in advance, and make more informed operational decisions.
Open Data Hub supported the project through its Data Access and Data Sharing services, providing both the technical infrastructure and expertise required to accelerate the development of the AI algorithm.
The collaboration goes beyond data consumption. While Ithel integrates Open Data Hub datasets into its decision-support dashboard, the company also shares AI-generated parking measurements with Open Data Hub. This creates an interoperable data ecosystem where real-time parking information can be reused by third parties for additional digital services and applications.
The result is not only a smarter parking management solution, but also a reusable source of high-quality mobility data that benefits the wider digital ecosystem.
The project helps destinations move from reactive to proactive mobility management. By transforming parking data into actionable insights, municipalities can better anticipate visitor demand and respond more effectively to changing conditions.
Key benefits include:
As destinations continue to seek smarter ways to balance visitor demand with available infrastructure, data-driven solutions such as this provide a valuable path towards more efficient and responsive mobility management.
