EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Parking is an essential component of the transportation system. Vehicles must park at every
destination. The strain on the parking infrastructure for the general public has significantly
grown as a result of the ever rising number of vehicles geared by the rapid population growth
in urban areas. As the urban population is growing, denser urban mobility is brought about
and several transportation problems arise.

Consequently, finding a vacant parking space has become quite a challenging task, especially
at peak hours. Drivers have to cycle back and forth a number of times before they finally find
where to park. This leads to increased fuel consumption, air pollution, and increased
likelihood of causing accidents, to mention but a few. This also increases traffic congestion.
In response to these environmental challenges as well as economic opportunities, numerous
countries seek to improve and manage their existing transportation systems and road
infrastructure to enhance traffic flow, mobility and safety

Today, it is a complex issue and a priority for local authorities due to its contribution to
easing traffic congestion and with this proposal, our aim is to introduce an innovative point of
view with a solution, which is effective, efficient and participatory, to parking problems
experienced in the city of kwekwe. We are offering the city of kwekwe a unique opportunity
to utilize our Smart Parking system.

It is worth noting from the onset that parking is no longer simply the action of parking cars
solely but now also deals with sustainability and even technology hence the need urgent need
for a smart parking solution for on-street parking. Our innovative approach to the city’s
parking problems will play a great role in facilitating sustainable structures. We are very
excited to partner with kwekwe city to solve the urban challenge of parking in Kwekwe. Our
engineering team have discovered the value and the ideal process of combining multiple
datasets to create highly accurate parking occupancy data at a vastly reduced cost

It is important to define parking problems carefully. For example, if people complain about a
parking problem, it is important to determine exactly what type of problem, and where, when
and to whom it occurs. Our smart parking systems will help reduce parking congestion and
spillover. Our smart solutions will provide a greater range of benefits to the city.
Put more positively, our parking management system can help solve a variety of economic,
social and environmental problems, increase economic productivity, and make consumers
better off overall.

Our strategic and integrated approach for dealing with the complexity of parking
management is worth considering. Our systems have proven to be beneficial in delivering
sustainable smart parking solutions. In fact, our good parking management system can help
free up valuable public space, making the city of Kwekwe more attractive; support local
economy; reduce vehicle traffic; improve congestion, road safety and air pollution; and
moreover generate revenues for the city.

In every city as vehicle traffic increases, so does the demand for parking. When car drivers
cannot find a parking space nearby, they tend to start complaining, spend a lot of time
searching for a space, and sometimes park inconsiderately or illegal.

Our 10 point Parking Management Principles

These ten general principles can help guide planning decision to support parking
management.
1. Consumer choice. People should have viable parking and travel options.
2. User information. Motorists should have information on their parking and travel options.
3. Sharing. Parking facilities should serve multiple users and destinations.
4. Efficient utilization. Parking facilities should be sized and managed so spaces are
frequently occupied.
5. Flexibility. Parking plans should accommodate uncertainty and change.
6. Prioritization. The most desirable spaces should be managed to favor higher-priority uses.
7. Pricing. As much as possible, users should pay directly for the parking facilities they use.
8. Peak management. Special efforts should be made to deal with peak-demand.
9. Quality vs. quantity. Parking facility quality should be considered as important as quantity,
including aesthetics, security, accessibility and user information.
10. Comprehensive analysis. All significant costs and benefits should be considered in
parking planning.

OUR PROPOSAL

The City does not currently have any parking meters, kiosks, or smart parking hardware
installed in the City and we propose the urgent need for an Integrated Vehicle Parking
Enforcement System (IVPES). This system will streamline and enhance the process of
parking enforcement, ensuring smoother traffic management and increased revenue
generation. Its key features include
ALPR, mobile ticketing, violation alerts, intelligent parking management, and an integrated
payment system. Overall, the system will improve parking enforcement efficiency, reduce
congestion, and increase revenue generation.

We propose to pay for all costs associated with the deployment and installation of the smart
parking system, its related hardware, software, signs and decals on a BOT arrangement on
agreed terms and conditions. A revenue split between Kwekwe City Council and Us over a
specified period can also be arranged and we will still commit to capitalize the project, train
all staff, and the capital outlay will be recovered from collected revenue.

This system will provide with an efficient transport infrastructure design for the city of
Kwekwe in order to improve the mobility environment of the city that is currently
characterized by chaotic unorganised on-street parking and mismanaged parking. In this
regard, our smart parking solutions will help to cut the present clutter and chaos in the city
through the proposed pay-and-use smart parking system.

The Parking Management System will be used by physical patrol officers to check motorists’
compliance, and those who falter will have their vehicles clamped and requested to pay a
fine. All the clamping and tow activities are set to the server in real-time to enable all these
activities to be tracked and audited effectively. Penalties for violating the law are generally
punitive and this is designed to encourage motorists to always pay parking fees, which are
very minimal. This system has the ability to record unpaid parking fees in the form of fines
which can be collected the next time a motorist parks in the city.

KEYS TO PROJECT SUCCESS

 As the urban population is increasing it brings the economic growth and the denser
 urban mobility which may frequently provoke traffic accidents hence the need for a
smart parking solution.
 Motorists in today’s busy world seek the best option in locating available parking
points. The need for an efficient parking system stems from increased congestion,
motor vehicle pollution, driver frustration and fatigue to mention but a few.
 The use of these auto mobiles has increasingly posed a demand for a smart system
infrastructure to manage the parking. All around the world, parking spaces have been
constructed and control points put in place. For example, in shopping malls and
airports, some control points are automated whereby users can do a self-service in the
use of the parking space while others are manned by control personnel.
