Parking Analytics
Helping cities optimize parking space through vehicle parking data
Switch from reactive to proactive with 360 degree knowledge of parking in your city
Cities around the world are facing higher costs for maintaining and monitoring parking lots. This is due to a variety of reasons, including increasing urbanization and rising traffic volumes.
As an innovative provider of driver safety and driver assistance systems, Mercedes-Benz offers a unique solution to this "parking dilemma" by providing a comprehensive data set on available parking spaces, always based on a specific city or region.
Using the ignition and ultrasonic sensors of our Mercedes-Benz vehicle fleet, as well as historical parking data collected since 2017, our Parking Analytics product provides high-quality data-driven insights to monitor and maintain parking supply while reducing costs.
Take your parking solutions one step further with our Parking Analytics product by leveraging our API to identify, analyze, predict and deliver parking data insights.

Here you can find a collection of questions we’ve been asked by our customers.
Based on Mercedes-Benz parking events and satellite imagery, it calculates whether on-street parking is allowed at a specific location. A confidence level is also given for this. Accordingly, the location of a parking space is derived from the position of the Mercedes-Benz Park Events and the detected parking area in the satellite images. GPS inaccuracy is not considered.
No, the model quality depends on various factors, e.g. event density, image quality, timeliness of the image data.
By statistical modeling of occupancy based on parking and exit events.
A higher event density and a heterogeneous use of the parking areas (by different vehicles) leads to the best results.
