Telekom Slovenia and Parquery Continue Building Their Successful Partnership

In 2022, the city of Tržič in the Slovenian Alps launched a town-wide parking guidance system using Parquery's camera-based smart parking solution.

This makes Tržič the first city in Slovenia to fully implement a parking guidance system based on computer vision technology and Artificial Intelligence. To accommodate the Alpine region's harsh winters, Telekom Slovenije was searching for a solution for the town that performs reliably in all seasons, and particularly, will work in snow and ice, and cannot be damaged by snow plows or sweepers.

Together with system integrator aKoda+, they found the optimal partner in Parquery, a smart parking solution that upgrades any camera with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and turns them into a multi-spot parking sensor.

The Principle is Straightforward

Axis cameras monitor parking areas across the town and send images to Telekom Slovenije’s cloud server. Parquery’s software then analyzes each image, determines the occupancy status of each parking spot, and sends live numbers of vacant spots in each area to digital display on-site panels that notify and direct drivers. Akoda+ ensured seamless integration. 

Town-Wide Parking Guidance

The parking areas are distributed across the town and are both large off-street parking lots and curbside parking. Due to the use of Axis’ multi-sensor and 180° cameras, the number of camera mounting locations could be cut to a minimum, as could be the total cost of deployment. 

The project was rolled out in three phases and will incorporate additional parking areas into the city-wide guidance system in the coming months. The successful trio of aKoda+ as the system integrator, and Parquery as the solution provider, Telekom Slovenije has formed a strong and fruitful partnership for smart city solutions on parking. They have already deployed smart parking solutions in two additional cities in Slovenia.
