• For operators, the solution offers intelligent cameras with integrated artificial intelligence (AI), which achieve excellent performance in vehicle recognition
• This contract creates a smart mobility connection for Bordeaux's car parks with the city’s transport system, contributing to seamless and sustainable multi-modal transport in the city.
The deployment of Hitachi Rail's smart parking systems has begun in Bordeaux city centre car parks, with the aim of improving traffic flow in the areas most frequented by the inhabitants of the metropolis. Since December 8, 2024, the 8 May 1945 car park has benefited from this technology, marking the first deployment of an ambitious project signed between Hitachi Rail and METPARK, aimed at modernizing 14 parking lots in Bordeaux. After the 8 May1945 and Gare Saint-Jean car parks, the extension continues with the equipment of the Grands Hommes, Mériadeck Shopping Centre and Pey Berland car parks, which are scheduled to be commissioned in the coming weeks.
