BENEFITS OF SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

Urban Web


  • Liberalisation of public space:

    Using existing parking spaces allows for the utilization of public spaces for other purposes.

  • Improved urban environment:

    Without the need for constantly expanding parking areas, we can extend green spaces or recreational areas.

  • Improved traffic conditions:

    The immediate availability of parking spaces removes vehicles from traffic at the moment they reach their destination, facilitating smoother traffic flow.

Economy


  • Saving fuel:

    Saving time and distance in finding a parking space directly translates to fuel savings and, consequently, monetary savings.

  • Saving money:

    Fuel savings and hence monetary savings are a direct consequence of improved parking space management.

Human Health


  • Better life quality in the city:

    Reducing the time spent searching for parking contributes to improved quality of life in urban areas.

  • Increased leisure time:

    The time saved from finding parking can be devoted to other personal activities.

  • Stress reduction:

    The ease of finding parking spaces reduces the stress associated with driving in the city.

  • Improved psychology:

    Improving the traffic experience has a positive impact on people's mental well-being.

Environment


  • Reduction of air pollutants:

    Reducing the time and distance in finding parking entails emitting fewer pollutants per journey, which improves air quality in cities.

  • Reduction of noise levels:

    Improved traffic flow lowers noise levels in urban areas.

  • Improved air quality:

    The reduction of atmospheric pollutants results in improved air quality in cities.
