May 26, 2020 - Parklio barriers have been set up in 42 reserved parking spaces in front of nine hotels in Split to help prevent further misuse of these parking spaces.
Dalmacija Danas reports that this is the result of Split Parking's initiative, whose idea was to offer a unified and Smart City solution that will eventually become the standard. Barriers were procured and installed by Split Parking, and users whose places are set up for their maintenance will pay an additional monthly fee in addition to the already existing price of the reserved parking space.
These barriers are locally produced and are a step forward in the world of the parking industry and are the most technologically advanced product of its kind. The barrier battery has a solar charge, and the barrier itself is controlled on smart devices, allowing you to share digital keys via the app with the option to automatically close it when the vehicle leaves, for an absolutely worry-free experience for the end-user.
Split Parking said that in the past year since the City of Split gave them jurisdiction over the reserved parking spaces for hotels, they detected a number of problems in the use of these spaces, the most common being illegal use, but also a large number of different solutions that then stand out from the environment and each other. To put an end to this, in cooperation with the Split company Parklio, they found a solution, to which all hotels and users of reserved parking spaces quickly agreed.
"For several years, we have been focused on Smart City solutions, and we want to keep up with the latest technology and thus bring order to traffic and parking in Split. We started with the Split Parking app and installing sensors, and now we have set up smart barriers. We are glad that we had the opportunity to do it in cooperation with our Split company Parklio. By installing these barriers, we have ensured the uninterrupted use of reserved spaces for their users, and we have protected the company and the City from potential lawsuits and provocations," said Marko Bartulić, director of Split Parking.
Parklio has won numerous awards for innovation for many years and is in over 35 countries around the world, but they say that this is certainly their favorite delivery, as barriers in their own city solve the problem of parking for all hotels.
"Once you actually see the added value that this product provides, we are convinced that this will be just the beginning of cooperation that will enrich the offer of the city of Split. All Parklio products are fully developed in Split and we really have to take the opportunity to praise the progressive thinking of Split Parking and their decision to work with a local company with a production plant in Split to solve the burning problem of the city in a very modern way," said Dario Boras director Parklio.
In the future, the goal is to set the same barriers in all reserved parking spaces in Split (courts, museums, tax administration, embassies, consulates, etc.).
