Incheon City Expands "Real-Time Parking Information Service" to Private Parking Lots

On August 27, Incheon City announced that it will expand its "real-time parking information service," currently operated at public parking lots, to include private parking facilities as well, in order to improve parking convenience for residents.

After establishing the "Public Parking Information Integrated Construction Plan" last year, the city has been providing integrated information on local public parking lots through the Incheon Traffic Information Center website since January this year.

In addition, Incheon City recently signed a business agreement with the parking platform company iParking to broaden the scope of the service to private parking lots.

As a result, iParking will link real-time information on available spaces at private parking lots to the Incheon Traffic Information Center's parking data. The city will then provide this information to citizens via the Incheon Traffic Information Center website. Furthermore, Incheon City plans to open this data to platforms such as public data portals in the future, enabling its use in developing navigation apps and for other private sector purposes.

An official from Incheon City stated, "By integrating public and private parking information, which is currently scattered across different institutions and platforms, we aim to alleviate inconvenience for citizens and create a more convenient parking environment."
