Parquery AI Vision for Curbside Management

Transform Existing City Cameras into Smart Parking Sensors

Through our integration with Parquery, Spatium enables municipalities to leverage their existing camera infrastructure for smart parking management — no new hardware needed. Parquery's AI analyzes any camera feed to detect vehicle occupancy, violations, and overstay in real time.

Deployed in 100+ projects across 30+ countries with partners including Siemens Mobility, Hectronic, and Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), Parquery delivers 99% detection accuracy in any weather condition — rain, snow, fog, or night.

📍 Case Study: Montreal, QC

Deployed in partnership with the Ministère de l'Économie et de l'Innovation (MEI), the Spatium smart curbside parking management system was implemented in the boroughs of Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie and Plateau-Mont-Royal.

The project demonstrated that smart parking sensors meet the operational needs of municipal parking managers, delivering:

  • Easy installation adapted to street furniture
  • Reliable real-time communications
  • Full weather resistance
  • Minimized road interference

"With access to reliable, real-time data, we facilitate parking management and offer an enhanced citizen experience." — Adrien Orceau, Product Owner
