Handy P@rking project arises in the field of Smart Cities, which aim to provide a smart and innovative public services for the city context, to improve the quality of life and meet the needs of citizens and companies, as well as for institutions.
\nOne of the main problems is to allow the best use of the parking areas for private cars. It\u2019s evident that, especially in some urban areas, it\u2019s often really difficult to find a parking area, increasing the car traffic, gasoline consumption and urban air pollution.
\nHandy P@rking aims to make more pleasant and intelligent moving by car, search and use of parking areas: the system provides monitoring of open access parking areas, such as on the roadside, and monitoring of car parking areas in closed structures where access is allowed only through a controlled gate. The idea is to create a system that delivers information to car drivers about the availability of parking areas near some place of interest in the city, by a smartphone App. Just select the area on an interactive map to get information effectively on potentially available parking and, in case of closed car parks, you can book for your parking spot in order to ensure to have a reserved place on the car arrival.
\nWith Handy P@rking, when you do a reservation, it\u2019s even more convenient and faster the enter\/exit in the parking; thanks to the plate reading system and the automatic payment: in fact, when the car is recognized, it\u2019s possible to calculate the actual time of occupation of the parking space, and scale automatically from your credit card the exact amount due for stay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11866,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"gruppo":[],"class_list":["post-19655","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"title":"Handy P@rking","acronym":"HANDY PARKING","project_uuid":"6198f3fe-b567-1032-95fe-0030485a3848","start_date":"13\/02\/2014","end_date":"30\/06\/2015","funder":"RAS, POR FESR 2007-2013, Asse VI, Obiettivo 6.1.1.A","partners":"","team_members":[],"proj_website":"http:\/\/handyparking.crs4.it\/","project_status":"Completed","project_coordinator":[{"ID":10175,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2025-06-30 17:22:22","post_date_gmt":"2025-06-30 15:22:22","post_content":"Having a background in Particle Physics, has dealt for over 30 years with issues related to ICT development. After an initial period dedicated to research and development in the field of parallel computing for High Energy Physics ( in the early 1990's), has subsequently worked on the design and management of IT infrastructures. Since 2000, he became interested in developing architectural solutions for the delivery of Web-Oriented services, promoting the usage of open source technologies in the contexts of high complexity applications. After developing several strategic projects within the Sardinian Region IT infrastructures, and subsequently serving as Director General of Innovation and IT Security for the Sardinia Region, with the responsibility for the Digital Transition, and chairing the Unified Coordination and Monitoring Committee for Ultra-Broadband, he is currently working on issues related to technology transfer to businesses and public administrations. In particular, he is currently focusing on the use of generative artificial intelligence technologies in public\/private innovation ecosystems.","post_title":"Carlino Casari","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"carlino-casari","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-04-05 20:10:27","post_modified_gmt":"2026-04-05 18:10:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.crs4.it\/people\/carlino-casari\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"people","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10035,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2025-06-30 17:25:52","post_date_gmt":"2025-06-30 15:25:52","post_content":"Alessandro Romanino holds a Master s degree (MSc) in Computer Science Technologies at University of Cagliari with a degree thesis titled Analysis and design of a shared datasapace for collaborative environments.
