Support for innovation

Elected officials, urban planners, and city residents no longer have the same expectations regarding parking as they did when Sareco was founded. By remaining attentive to the questions raised by its clients, Sareco continuously offers forward-looking solutions.

Stay tuned and put into practice

This is:
  • To monitor and evaluate innovative solutions that are under development or in the project phase.

    This monitoring is carried out through participation in working groups dedicated to this topic within various organizations specializing in the field of mobility (ATEC ITS France, National Federation of Parking Professions, etc.), and regular meetings with specialized companies developing innovative solutions.

  • We are also involved in defining evaluation and experimentation protocols to study the possibilities of concrete application of these solutions to our missions.


Pragmatism and long experience

Our ability to assess whether or not a parking operator should develop certain innovative solutions is based on our extensive experience, but also on our research work carried out continuously since the company's creation.
 
We have thus multiplied our research themes, particularly behavioral ones, based on real-world experiments:
  • User reactions to tariff changes,
  • acceptability of walking distances in relation to the parking location,
  • experimentation with cash-collecting agents,
  • etc.
We have also conducted in-depth studies on the challenges of tomorrow, such as:
  • the influence of parking policies on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,
  • the link between the choice of place of residence and parking conditions,
  • the organization of deliveries in the city,
  • etc.
These numerous experiences have forged in us a culture of credibility regarding the application of solutions to a territory.

Key themes to watch

We are paying particular attention to several themes with significant implications:
  • data management and open data, in relation to regulatory obligations and services to users (Sareco participates in the development of standards in this area);
  • shared mobility: the role of parking for carsharing and carpooling, shared parking (making a private space available to an identified user);
  • the usefulness of smart city technologies to improve the functioning of private or public parking;
  • Electromobility : the development of the electric car and its impact on parking needs (locations, durations, equipment of spaces, etc.) .
