Challenge Objective

The Spot4Dis project is developing a technological solution to improve the management of parking spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility (PRM) by leveraging urban data and real-time sensing technologies.

The solution will provide real-time information on parking space availability, detect unauthorised occupancy, validate authorised use through the European Disability Parking Card (EU Blue Badge), and generate insights to support more efficient management of reserved parking spaces. It will also incorporate analytical tools to support data-driven mobility and accessibility policies.

Launch Date

• Challenge launched in July 2025.
• Project implementation from October 2025 to March 2026.
  

Thematic Area

Mobility, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), and accessibility.

Challenge Type

GovTech challenge delivered through an open innovation process, with competitive selection and the award of a €50,000 small public contract.

Promoting Entities

València City Council, through València Innovation Capital, in collaboration with the Smart City and Data Management Service (SCIGD).

Stakeholders involved:

• Project contractor: SOLMES.
• Directorate-General for Disability of València City Council.
• Mobility Service.

Urban Context

The solution will be demonstrated in different areas of the city of València, including the surroundings of Las Naves and the city’s waterfront, where sensor-equipped PRM parking spaces will be used to validate the platform with real users and improve the management of reserved parking.
