Digitizing Parking in Malta's Historic City Center with Fleximodo

At Fleximodo, we're passionate about bridging the gap between historical charm and modern efficiency. Our recent deployment in Zurrieq, one of Malta's oldest towns, is a perfect example of this vision brought to life. Located near major tourist attractions like the Blue Grotto and Xarolla Windmill, Zurrieq faced a familiar challenge: traffic congestion and parking difficulties in its historic core.

We partnered with local experts, Domotica Systems, to deliver a solution that seamlessly integrates into the city’s unique environment, balancing innovation with respect for its architectural heritage. Here's what we achieved together:

Guiding Drivers with Real-Time Insights

Four compact and completely wireless Guidance Signages were installed, each powered by integrated solar panel sticks for maximum efficiency. With a simple plug-and-play setup—just like installing a regular traffic sign—they’re designed to be as user-friendly as possible. What makes them truly stand out is their cutting-edge “flip-dot” display, delivering live occupancy updates for three key streets. These signs not only help drivers make smarter decisions but also reduce circling traffic, making a real difference in easing congestion in the heart of Zurrieq.

Tracking 122 Parking Spots

To keep everything running smoothly, we installed 122 IoT Parking Sensors that monitor parking space availability across the old town. These sensors are not only incredibly easy to install but also designed to preserve Zurrieq's traditional pavements, blending seamlessly into the historic environment. Tested to withstand extreme weather conditions and equipped with batteries that last up to 8 years, these sensors are built for durability and reliability.

With ongoing support from Fleximodo always ready to assist, our partners can count on truly amazing technology to optimize parking efficiency and enhance visitor experiences.

The success of this deployment has already sparked interest from other businesses in the region, paving the way for future collaborations.

By digitizing parking in Zurrieq, we're not only solving modern problems but also respecting the town’s historic integrity. It’s innovations like these that demonstrate how technology can enhance, rather than disrupt, the beauty and functionality of cherished landmarks.
