Track occupancy details of parking slots through app soon

CHENNAI: The city corporation plans to introduce a smart parking system through a mobile application which can be used to track occupancy details of designated parking slots and make payments through a dedicated payment gateway.

The corporation now has a ‘GCC parking’ app that is used internally to monitor collections and available equivalent car spaces throughout the city. This is also monitored through a dedicated dashboard at the integrated command and control centre.

With the smart parking system, the public will be able to book parking spaces and also have access to alternative availability in case chosen slots are occupied along with a route map, said officials.
