“Parkin” is experimenting with smart technologies to monitor parking violations in Dubai and reduce the role of field inspection

Parkin Company revealed the start of testing a new smart monitoring system that relies on cameras mounted on the roofs of smart monitoring vehicles, in a step aimed at enhancing the efficiency of monitoring parking violations in the most crowded areas of the Emirate of Dubai, and reducing the need for field monitoring on foot.

The company explained that the new system was initially implemented last February on one inspection vehicle, as part of its drive to develop more flexible and effective technical solutions in managing inspections and smart monitoring of parking lots.

The company confirmed in its operational and financial results report announced yesterday, Wednesday, that the new technology is expected to be more effective during the summer months, especially with rising temperatures, which will contribute to improving the efficiency of operational performance and increasing the speed of response and control in various regions of the emirate.
