City Parking Comes with Real Challenges
Municipal parking is not a technical problem. It is a political and operational one. European cities manage thousands of parking spaces across residential zones, commercial streets, tourist areas, EV bays, disabled spots and safety-critical locations. Each zone has different rules, different users, and different enforcement needs.
Manual inspection covers only a fraction of spaces. Political pressure makes rate increases nearly impossible. And without occupancy data, city planners are forced to make decisions based on complaints rather than evidence.
Real Challenges Every City Faces
How the Solution Works
A Fleximodo city deployment combines physical parking infrastructure with the ParkingAround city management platform — adapted to your zone layout, enforcement rules and revenue model.
IoT Parking Sensors
Are installed in each parking space. Each sensor uses dual magnetometer and nanoradar sensing to detect vehicle presence with 99.96% accuracy. Data reaches the platform in real time. 10–15 minutes per sensor to install. No cabling. No civil works. A 500-sensor deployment is operational in under a week.

Electronic Permit Cards
Use BLE/UWB technology to identify vehicles with valid permits in residential zones, employee bays and visitor areas. The card links a vehicle to a permit class without capturing licence plate data. GDPR-compliant. Pardubice deployed 5,000 permit cards alongside 3,421 sensors — replacing paper permits entirely.

Parking Guidance Signage
Uses solar-powered flip-dot displays to show available space counts in real time. No cabling. No grid connection. Drivers see the count before they turn into a street, reducing search-time loops. Flip-dot displays are fully readable in direct sunlight with a 160° viewing angle.

Day-to-Day City Parking
with Fleximodo
Fleximodo digitizes parking spaces using a combination of IoT hardware and software — sensors that detect occupancy, permit cards that identify vehicles, and guidance signs that inform drivers. ParkingAround is the software layer that sits on top: the platform through which city operators manage every digitised space, configure parking rules, define who has access to which zone, and monitor compliance in real time. <br></br> From the moment a sensor goes live, ParkingAround starts collecting data, enforcement teams receive real-time alerts, and drivers get a measurably better parking experience. The system adapts to changing zone rules and seasonal traffic, and gets smarter over time as occupancy patterns emerge.
What Fleximodo Delivers for Cities
Cities that deploy Fleximodo don't just get sensors. They get measurable improvements in revenue, compliance, and resident satisfaction from the first week of operation.
More revenue from the same spaces
Real-time occupancy data enables dynamic pricing, accurate billing and faster enforcement response. Cities typically recover 20–40% of previously lost parking revenue within the first year of operation — without adding spaces or raising tariffs
No rate increases needed
Pardubice grew parking revenue by 74 % over two years with zero increases in parking tariffs. Compliance does the work, not the price
Smarter enforcement teams
Enforcement officers receive live alerts on violations instead of patrolling on schedule. Time per enforcement action drops. Officers cover more ground with fewer people. Disputes decline because violations are timestamped and sensor-documented
Residents get their streets back
Permit zone enforcement keeps non-resident vehicles out of residential streets without barriers. Residents see the result immediately. Permit compliance improves measurably within weeks of deployment
Support for EV and sustainability goals
Fleximodo sensors identify EV charging bay availability and misuse. Operators can prioritise and enforce EV bays without separate infrastructure. Reduced cruising traffic directly reduces urban emissions
Data to justify every decision
Zone occupancy, revenue per space, enforcement activity and permit utilisation are all available in CityPortal reports. City councils can present data-backed decisions on zone layout, pricing and permit allocation
Municipal Parking Deployments
Each deployment reflects a different city size, regulatory environment, and parking challenge. The platform adapts to all of them.
Pardubice, Czech Republic
Pardubice is Fleximodo's most documented Central European municipal deployment and a reference case for cities facing revenue pressure without the political room to raise tariffs. Revenue nearly doubled in two years with zero tariff increases.
3,421 IoT parking sensors deployed across city centre zones
5,000 electronic permit cards replacing paper-based residential permits
+74% parking revenue recovered within two years of deployment
Zero tariff increases — all revenue gain from enforcement and compliance improvement
100 sensors installed per day during rollout
Full zone management via ParkingAround platform
Compliance, not price, drove the growth
Roma Capital, Italy
Rome is Fleximodo's largest active municipal deployment in Europe. The city-wide rollout covers mixed on-street and off-street environments across multiple zones, with all occupancy data managed through the ParkingAround platform.
7,000 IoT parking sensors deployed across city zones
City-wide occupancy monitoring: on-street and off-street
Full zone management and enforcement via ParkingAround platform
NB-IoT connectivity — no gateway infrastructure required
