Discover EAVP latest achievements and updates
EAVP at the 30th ITS World Congress
EAVP was present at the 30th ITS World Congress, the premier event for the ITS community. For an entire week, leading representatives from Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, and the Americas converged at the Dubai World Trade Centre to share insights and innovations shaping the future of transportation.
The EAVP platform showcased its latest developments at the ERTICO Stand in the Exhibition Area, as well as during a dedicated Special Interest Session.
Key Takeaways from SIS 89 Automated Valet Parking (AVP) as the key to a mobility supporting societal values
Reorganizing Urban Spaces
The session underscored the importance of reshaping urban environments to enhance public and green spaces, fostering active travel and improving curbside management. By efficiently utilizing existing off-street parking infrastructure, cities can create vibrant spaces that benefit the community.
AVP systems offer significant advantages for urban mobility and public space usage:
- Convenience: In cities like Dubai and Paris, AVP allows for hassle-free parking, enabling users to focus on their activities.
- Support for businesses: AVP enhances operational efficiency by minimizing the time drivers spend searching for parking, improving customer access.
- Safety Improvements: AVP reduces accidents through safety protocols that minimize human error.
Standards and Regulations
EAVP is committed to deploying AVP technologies by developing complementary standards that unify ISO 12768-1 (AVDS operations) and the EU APDS (Alliance for Parking Data Standards), ensuring seamless integration and interoperability in automated parking systems.
Societal Benefits
The implementation of AVP leads to several societal benefits:
- Increased public space: Reducing traditional parking needs allows cities to reclaim areas for parks and pedestrian zones.
- Environmental sustainability: AVP lowers emissions by decreasing idle time for vehicles, contributing to cleaner urban air.
- Enhanced quality of life: Improved mobility options and accessible public spaces make cities more livable and attractive
AVP Type 2
Our current focus is on AVP 2, an infrastructure-based approach utilizing sensors in parking facilities. This method enables autonomous guidance in production, logistics, and parking, significantly reducing the vehicle’s bill of materials (BOM) and leading to cost-efficient solutions. Our ultimate goal is to achieve AVP Type 3, integrating both vehicle and infrastructure-based systems.
