ParkDots provides up-to-date information regarding occupancy of the park & ride facility in Malacky
Starting from Monday 23.09.2019, drivers in Malacky may use the new park & ride facility with 91 parking spaces which is located near the train and bus station. The parking lot runs on the principle of “smart parking”. In practice it means that the occupancy of each parking space is recorded by sensors and the information is available to drivers in real time, through the ParkDots mobile application and on information boards in town.
The park & ride facility in Malacky was built in order to improve the transport infrastructure and thus increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of personal public transport. It is a contribution to sustainable mobility in which passengers would prefer mass personal transport over individual transportation by car.
Building transportation terminals and park & ride facilities is a part of the emerging integrated transportation system in the Bratislava region. The system includes preparation of identical projects in Svätý Jur, Pezinok, Šenkvice, Ivanka pri Dunaji, Bernolákovo, Zohor and Nové Košariská. The project was funded through the Integrated Regional Operational Programme (IROP).
The park & ride facility in Malacky features the ParkDots intelligent parking system by PosAm. Sensors installed directly in parking spaces make it possible for drivers to track the occupancy of each space in real time. The information is available through the ParkDots mobile application and on information boards in town.
