Cars are moving 5% of the time .. the rest of the time cars are parked! At Cumra, we address what cars do 95% of the time .. Parking. We are a smart city platform that makes parking data accessible, on-demand, and real-time.
Cumra is a technology company that has developed a platform of integrated solutions to make parking data accessible to drivers, parking operators, and city councils alike.
A plug & play, on-street, and off-street parking sensor that detects the occupancy of multiple parking spaces at a fraction of the cost.
An on-demand and user friendly mobile application that enables drivers to Find, Reserve, and Pay for their parking spots from the comfort of their mobile phones.
A versatile web dashboard that provides real-time parking data including: occupancy, revenue, utilization, and turnover in real-time.
The “searching for a parking space” problem is compounded due to the lack of information:
Motorists in UK spend 4 days a year looking for a parking space - The Telegraph, 2017.
Finding a spot in New York has become a 15-, 30- or even 45-minute ordeal - The New York Times, 2021.
The total cost of searching for a parking space in 2016 was estimated at $146Bn - INRIX, 2017.
By making parking data accessible, Cumra contributes to improving air quality in cities, providing drivers with a seamless parking experience, and enabling urban planners to make informed decisions.
Sharing information about the real-time status of parking spaces reduces traffic congestion by around 30%, which in turn reduces air pollution in cities.
Drivers get real-time data on the availability of parking spaces, eliminating the need to cruise and making their journey more predictable and less stressful.
Receiving critical parking data in real-time enables parking operators and city councils to make informed decisions and implement dynamic pricing policies.
"Smart cities are those who manage their resources efficiently. Traffic, public services and disaster response should be operated intelligently in order to minimize costs, reduce carbon emissions and increase performance."
