The Belgian port city of Antwerp in Belgium has implemented a more environmentally friendly policy by adopting a “Low Emission Zone” (LEZ). This low-emission zone prohibits the entry of the most polluting vehicles into the city center. In this context, IEM, in collaboration with the parking operator Indigo and the Belgian dealer Krautli, has equipped the city with 960 solar-powered parking meters. PrestoInteractif combines technology and sustainability by issuing parking tickets and permits; called “laisser passer” in the LEZ of the entire city center. The number of permits is limited because there is a registration system. Through the exchange with the server, unauthorized vehicles are detected in the LEZ and help the city in its project to better manage and enforce mobility, parking and environmental protection. The checks are carried out by cameras with license plate recognition. IEM has extensive know-how in street parking. Their technology makes them 100% autonomous thanks to solar energy and they dynamically integrate with multiple sources of information that allow to qualify the different permits of each vehicle.

The Belgian city of Antwerp has opted to equip its city with a modernized city access solution. This solution, which limits traffic flows, was chosen in order to keep its city centre safe and liveable for both residents and visitors. Nedap’s MOOV City Access platform and vehicle identification solutions will be implemented into the FAAC vehicle regulation solution to regulate vehicle access and as well optimize the traffic flows. Antwerp is a known major destination in Belgium and has about 529,000 inhabitants, making it the second largest and one of most visited cities in Belgium. Besides its size, the city of Antwerp is also known for her historical city centre, many sights and her main shopping street De Meir. De Meir is the most important shopping areas in Belgium, with more than 100 shops and department stores and near public transportation. To this day, the city was equipped with automatic bollards and a system that required a lot of manual actions. To make this process more efficient and simplified for its users, the city of Antwerp decided to change and modernize its system. This decision was translated into a completely new solution created and provided by business partners FAAC and Nedap Identification Systems. The Nedap MOOV software and a total of 50 new installations with FAAC bollards will be installed by Krautli, a Belgian company known for its installations of parking access control systems.

Flowbird Group, a global leader in curb management and urban mobility solutions, together with its local distribution partner DEVO & Associates, has launched the Flowbird App in New Jersey’s state capital Trenton. The smart mobile parking solution allows users to find and pay for parking spaces using their smartphone.
The Flowbird app was officially launched in Trenton at the end of February and covers around 800 parking spaces, including all on-street parking and city-owned parking. Accounts can be set up for individual drivers or for businesses to manage their fleets. Flowbird’s application has a map-based interface that integrates with Waze and other navigation systems to guide users to their preferred parking space. The GPS-enabled map also allows users to select their parking location without manually entering a zone code.
Users can be reminded when their parking time has expired. They can extend their time directly from their mobile device. The app also guides the user back to the original parking location. The city will also benefit from the back-office management suite, says Flowbird. The system integrates reporting of all meter and mobile transactions, making it easier to manage the parking system on a minute-by-minute basis while making informed decisions for the future.
Enforcement officers have web-based access to the Flowbird SmartCenter enforcement module, which allows them to check the status of all licence plates. When a ticket needs to be issued, officers use their current ticketing solution installed on their handheld devices. The City of Trenton joins several other New Jersey cities using the Flowbird app, including Dover, Linden, Loch Arbour, New Providence and Rahway. The Flowbird app is now available at more than 100 car parks across the US and generated more than 26 million transactions worldwide in 2020.n

In May 2021, the new Q-Park Arsenaal parking garage in Venlo-Oost will be opened. The four-level car park means that 260 parking spaces have become available, including disabled spaces at the entrances and charging points for electric cars.
“This parking garage is very important for Venlo’s economy,” says Erik Manders, chairman of entrepreneurs collective Venlostad.com. “Especially for Venlo residents who wanted to shop at local retailers, it was the missing link in recent years. But also as ‘overflow’ on the busy ‘German’ days and for residents, the garage is very welcome.” Q-Park Arsenaal replaces the former Arsenal parking facility. The publicly accessible car park is an interim solution for at least the next eight years, on the way to a permanent solution for parking supply for visitors and residents in the city centre’s eastern section. Despite the temporary nature of the parking facility, it is a high-quality parking garage that fits perfectly into the streetscape. The car park is also built to be recyclable, which means that it can be fully disassembled and is suitable for reuse at another location in the long term.
“The new car park fits in perfectly with the cooperation we have with the municipality to keep the centre of Venlo easily accessible and welcoming,” says Fred Wilkes, Director Business Development of Q-Park Netherlands. “With this new location added, we offer seven locations in Venlo and can even better fulfill our role as the city’s mobility partner.”

Mobility and Juice Technology want to develop e-mobility in Switzerland. – Photo: Mobility

By 2030 at the latest, the Swiss car-sharing company Mobility wants to convert its fleet of nearly 3,000 cars to emission-free electric drive. At the same time, the e-charging infrastructure is to be expanded rapidly. In a first step, at least 300 e-charging stations are to be put into operation at Mobility locations throughout Switzerland within the next three years.
Mobility is working with Juice Technology to implement this ambitious plan. The charging station manufacturer has already equipped the first parking spaces for Mobility with charging infrastructure in Zurich and Aarau at the end of 2020 in a cooperation with SBB, Mobility’s largest and most important location partner.
“We are proud to be able to support Mobility on its way to emission-free car-sharing and the electrification of its vehicle fleet. Our joint launch at SBB car parks has shown that innovative charging technology and quality clearly prove their worth. We look forward to continuing our partnership beyond locations near railway stations,” says Christoph Erni, CEO of Juice Technology AG. Juice Technology supplies the JUICE CHARGER 2 AC charging stations for the electrification of the Mobility sites.
“The biggest hurdle in the electrification of our fleet is the development of an e-charging network. That is why we have brought experienced partners like Juice on board to be able to implement this project and push ahead with the expansion as quickly as possible,” says Roland Lötscher, Managing Director at Mobility. “The future belongs to e-mobility and we want to lead the way.”

Both the Netherlands and Germany have set the course to modernise their mobility sector and make it sustainable. Both countries want to advance developments in the field of sustainable mobility in the near future.
The official kick-off of the cooperation between Germany and the Netherlands took place at the end of March during a virtual launch event. In the presence of Wepke Kingma, Ambassador of the Netherlands to Germany, and Johannes Wieczorek, Head of Sub-Department G2 Climate Protection in Mobility, Environmental Protection at the BMVI, Prof. Dr. Henning Kagermann, Chairman of the NPM, and Marc Hendrikse, Chairman of the Top Sector High Tech Systems and Materials (HTSM) of the Netherlands the Dutch-German cooperation in the field of sustainable mobility officially launched. Prof. Dr. Henning Kagermann, Chairman of the NPM said: “We need holistic solutions that take into account all modes of transport with their specific requirements and at the same time pave the way for a climate-friendly, networked, demand-oriented transport system, networked, demand-oriented and affordable transport system. The development of an intelligent charging infrastructure for e-vehicles and cross-border heavy goods are topics that are of acute concern to both the Netherlands and Germany and which we and which we can explore together in greater depth.”
“Joining forces and moving forward”
Wepke Kingma, Ambassador of the Netherlands to Germany says: “Although we follow a different roadmap in implementing zero-emission mobility, our goals are the same: a green, smart and affordable mobility shift towards more sustainability. We need to join forces and move forward!” Marc Hendrikse, Chairman of Top Sector HTSM: “Both Germany and the Netherlands face a major task in adapting their mobility to the agreed European goals. By combining the strengths of both countries, we can meet this challenge. Today we are expanding the cooperation between our two countries in the field of technology and innovation, which already started ten years ago and recently got a new impetus with the Dutch-German Innovation Pact.”
Ministries support the cooperation
The plan is for cluster organisations and associations, national and regional initiatives as well as companies and research institutions from both countries to identify relevant issues and provide joint answers. On the Dutch side, the cooperation is initiated and supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministries of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, and Infrastructure and Environment, together with clusters and companies in the Dutch mobility sector. One of these companies is RAI Automotive Industry NL. On the German side, the Ministry for Mobility and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) and the National Platform Future of Mobility (NPM) are flanking the event. Steffen Bilger, Parliamentary State Secretary at the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) says of the cooperation between the two states: “Only together can we succeed in making mobility climate-friendly. That is why it is so important to always keep the European dimension in mind and to promote cross-border projects. We particularly welcome and support the new cooperation in the field of sustainable mobility between the Netherlands and Germany.” Around 230 representatives of German and Dutch companies and organisations followed the two keynote speeches by Nancy Kabalt-Groot, Chairwoman of the of the Formula E-Team of the Netherlands and Franz Loogen, President of e-mobil BW and Chairman of WG 1 Climate Protection in Transport of the NPM.

Fraport eröffnet neues Parkhaus im Quartier Gateway Gardens

Blick auf die Fassade des neuen Parkhauses in den Gateway Gardens in Frankfurt.

Der Flughafenbetreiber Fraport hat ein neues Parkhaus im Stadtteil Gateway Gardens in Betrieb genommen. Das Objekt in der Nähe des Frankfurter Flughafens bietet 1.250 Stellplätze.

„Von einem modernen Parkhaus erwarten Kunden heute deutlich mehr als eine Parklücke für ihr Auto“, sagt Gerald Krebs, Leiter Parken und Mobilität bei Fraport. „Egal, ob auf dem Weg zur täglichen Arbeitsstätte oder zu einer einzelnen Veranstaltung – das Parken soll sich nahtlos und bequem in persönliche Abläufe einfügen und dabei vielfältigen individuellen Ansprüchen gerecht werden“, so Krebs. Digitalisierung sei hierbei das zentrale Element, zum allgemeinen Komfort trügen jedoch auch durchdachte Optimierungen der Infrastruktur bei. Dazu zählen auch zahlreiche Formen von Sonderstellplätzen, unter anderem besonders breite Premium-Stellplätze im Erdgeschoss. Für Elektrofahrzeuge stehen 65 Ladesäulen zur Verfügung.

Intelligente Parkierungstechnik

„Im Parkhaus setzen wir Parkierungstechnik der neuen Generation ein“, sagt Krebs. „Die Einfahrt wird beispielsweise über automatische Kennzeichenerkennung und bald auch über Kreditkarte möglich sein. Einzelstellplatzüberwachung und Parkleitsystem weisen den direkten Weg zur ersten freien Parkbucht. Das spart Zeit, schont die Nerven und reduziert den Suchverkehr. Außerdem sind wir für das Parken der Zukunft gerüstet: Automatisiertes Valet Parking ist schon vorgesehen.“

Energieeffizientes Konzept

Felix Kreutel, Leitung Immobilien und Energie bei Fraport: „Planung und Realisierung orientierten sich von Anfang an konsequent an den vielfältigen Bedürfnissen unserer Kunden – aber ebenso stark am wichtigen Aspekt der Nachhaltigkeit.”  Klimaschutz hätte in jeder Phase des Projekts im Mittelpunkt gestanden, betont er. Unter anderem dank LED-Beleuchtung sei das Gebäude energieeffizient, weise eine geringe Flächenversiegelung auf, verfüge über ein begrüntes Dach und versorge sich über Photovoltaik teilweise selbst mit Sonnenstrom.
Weitere Informationen zu den Angeboten des neuen Parkhauses soll es künftig auf der Website parken-gatewaygardens.com geben.

Nach Finnland und den Niederlanden haben sich auch Parkhäuser aus Deutschland an den Service mobility CONNECT angeschlossen.

Die EasyPark Group und evopark weiten ihre Partnerschaft aus. Den Service mobility CONNECT gibt es jetzt auch in Deutschland, nachdem der Dienst vergangenes Jahr bereits in Finnland und den Niederlanden an den Start gegangen war.

EasyPark-Nutzer können künftig ticket-, bargeld- und kontaktlos in 89 Parkhäusern in 36 Städten ihr Auto parken – zum Beispiel in Köln, Düsseldorf, München, Berlin, Stuttgart und Hannover. Dabei haben Autofahrer zwei Möglichkeiten: Entweder identifizieren sie sich an der Einfahrt mit der EasyCard über den darin integrierten RFID-Chip oder über ihr Kennzeichen.

Die EasyCard wird automatisch im Fahrzeug erkannt und die Schranke öffnet sich. Sobald das Auto die Parkgarage wieder verlässt, stoppt die Parkzeit und der offene Betrag wird über die EasyPark-App abgerechnet. Details über Parkvorgänge können die Nutzer jederzeit in der App abfragen. Einige Parkhäuser verfügen bereits über automatische Kennzeichenerkennung per Kamera – Produktname „CameraPark“. Auch hier wird die Parkzeit automatisch über die EasyPark-App erfasst und abgerechnet.

„Wir freuen uns auf die Ausweitung unserer Partnerschaft mit evopark/Scheidt & Bachmann. In Deutschland sind digitale Parklösungen gefragt wie nie. Hier gilt es jetzt, gemeinsam Trends zu setzen“, sagt Nico Schlegel, Geschäftsführer der EasyPark GmbH. „Mit dem Anschluss an mobility CONNECT können wir unseren Kunden viele neue Parkmöglichkeiten bieten.“ Henk de Bruin, Geschäftsführer von evopark, sagt: „Wir bündeln unsere Expertise und können damit das digitale Angebot bundesweit entscheidend vorantreiben. Gerade im sonst stark fragmentierten Parken-Markt ist das ein enormer Vorteil, sowohl für die Partner von mobility CONNECT als auch für die Nutzer.“
