CITYSCANNER® in Berlin

As part of the research project "Development and operation of an extended environmentally sensitive traffic management system in Berlin (eUVM)", we as DCX Innovations GmbH will be on the road with several CITYSCANNER® vehicles in Berlin from this week until December 2023.

Main components of this project are:

• The exact mapping and documentation of existing parking spaces within the Berlin “S-Bahn Ring” with an surface area of approx. 88km2

• The continuous recording of the utilization rate of various on-street parking spaces

• Statistics on usage behavior, e.g. in relation to parking duration

Up to four vehicles -equipped with the latest CITYSCANNER® system - are used on both main and secondary roads. The vehicles flow in traffic and capture the roadside while driving with the help of high-resolution cameras, laser-based LiDAR scanners and GPS antennas. In order to draw conclusions about the duration of the parking and the parking search traffic, only partial license plates of the parked and moving vehicles are collected. A query of the holder data does not take place. The data processing and complete anonymization of recorded persons and vehicle license plates in image data already takes place in the vehicle and is not traceable or reversible.

The recording of public parking space within the framework of this project expressly does not serve to control or punish parking violations, not even to support the regulatory authorities.

The data collected during the course of the project will be analyzed by DCX Innovations GmbH with regard to:

• Quantification and localization of unoccupied parking space or repurposing potentials

• Analysis of the parking search traffic volume depending on the available parking space, utilization, day of the week and time

• Quantification of the traffic impact of parking space management

• Analysis of price policy interventions on the user_innenverhalten

• Analysis of rebound effects over time after the introduction of parking space management
