4024 Streetline has announced that 4025 New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDoT) is this week installing the company’s sensor-enabled smart parking system along Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, as part of a Parking Availability Technology pilot.

NYCDoT is embedding sensors from three companies -Streetline, 917 ACS, and IPsens - that can detect whether a parking space is vacant in a total of 177 parking spots. If successful, the pilot has the potential to ease congestion by giving information on how many spaces are available on a particular block, and reducing the amount of time spent cruising for a spot. There is also speculation that if the system is deployed, it will be used to introduce a variable-rate, demand responsive parking management system, similar to the highly successful ‘SFpark’ scheme in San Francisco
