Lappeenranta Invested in Remote Parking Guidance Signs – Portier Creating Smart City Opportunities

Smart city concepts have been in the center of urbanization for the past decade with the objective to improve urban living, enhance sustainability, and optimize resource use. In the core of the smart city concept is to leverage data collection, real-time analytics, and interconnected systems to enhance infrastructure, services, and the quality of life for residents. From the transportation perspective, some typical applications are real-time traffic monitoring to optimize flow and reduce congestion as well as various public transport apps and ride-sharing platforms to improve mobility.

Portier HOST, a globally unique parking guidance platform, has been used to support the development of smart cities since 2015. Portier HOST is an ideal backbone for any smart city initiative as its open interfaces mean that it can connect different technologies, gather data from various data sources and combine all data sources into real-time guidance for those moving around towns and cities. Furthermore, Portier HOST features AI module that is able to predict the development of parking guidance – an essential feature for traffic flow optimization.

Lappeenranta, a vibrant town in southeastern Finland, has been progressively embracing smart city solutions to enhance urban living and sustainability.
