At the Düsseldorf digital test field, Ford and Vodafone are testing the networked parking guidance system "Parking Space Guidance". In addition to the display of free parking spaces, it also handles the navigation.
As part of the project "Cooperative mobility in the digital test field Dusseldorf" (Komod) Ford and Vodafone are testing a parking space search for connected vehicles. The car-to-X guidance system "Parking Space Guidance" shows the driver free parking in nearby parking garages and also manages the route via the navigation system. "When cars exchange real-time information with traffic infrastructure, road traffic gets a little smarter, and motorists can get to their destination faster, and the annoying search for a parking space costs us less time and nerves," says Michael Reinartz, head of innovation at Vodafone.
The control system uses the data from parking garages and commercial parking spaces. Based on their geo-coordinates and digital traffic information, the networked vehicles receive traffic and car park information from a central computer system. Networking makes it easier for drivers to search for free parking spaces and thus saves time and money; At the same time, the guidance system also reduces traffic density and emissions by making shorter stops. The Ford and Vodafone system offers additional Car-to-X services such as a traffic light assistance system, real-time traffic information or traffic sign recognition.
