Smart Parking has secured a contract for supplying and maintaining the bay sensor technology for nearly 945 parking spaces in the city of Hamilton, New Zealand, under a partnership with Arthur D Riley. 

The Hamilton City Council has selected Smart Parking technology as part of its new plan that has been created for revitalise Hamilton’s Central Business District (CBD) region.

Hamilton is located in the Waikato region of New Zealand’s North Island, and is reported to be country’s fourth most-populous city. 

"This technology will allow the drivers to locate and pay for vacant spaces in real-time using their smartphone device."

Smart Parking CEO Paul Gillespie said: “We have a strong history of working with some of the world’s leading councils, having completed the installation of over 34,000 parking bay sensors across the globe during the last 14 years, and we look forward to working with Hamilton City Council in introducing the latest in in-ground vehicle detection sensors to assist in the daily management of on-street parking spaces.”

Smart Parking will also be working with the council for introducing a new parking availability application, which will allow the drivers to locate and pay for vacant spaces in real-time using their smartphone device.

Earlier this month, Smart Parking secured a contract from Wilson Parking New Zealand for supplying sensor and bay-finding technology for its nine new sites covering approximately 3,000 parking spaces.
