Parking has become a major challenge in today’s urban environments. As city populations grow, so does the number of vehicles—often outpacing the available parking infrastructure. From residential neighborhoods and commercial hubs to public transport zones, many areas offer limited parking space, creating daily frustration for drivers.

According to research by the Royal Automobile Club Foundation, drivers spend around 96% of their car-related time parked—73% at home and about 23% elsewhere. This underscores the scale of the issue and the need for smarter solutions.

At Requestum, we see AI-powered parking technologies as a practical and scalable answer to this growing problem. In this article, we’ll explore the current state of parking availability, common challenges faced by drivers, and how AI can help reshape urban mobility. We’ll also highlight the benefits of AI-driven systems and share real-world examples of how they're already making a difference.
