Dubai,May 2026: Parkin Company PJSC (“Parkin” or the “Company”), the largest provider of paid public parking facilities and services in Dubai, has announced major advancements in its smart parking technology, reinforcing its role as a pioneer in delivering customer-focused mobility solutions across the Emirate. Parkin has introduced phase one of its On-Street Parking cameras at key locations in Dubai, with over 500 Curb and Pole cameras currently under installation in Trade Centre 1, Burj Khalifa, and Al Corniche. Notably, the curb-side cameras are the first-of-its kind in the region. Building on this rollout, parking lot cameras have also been deployed across controlled parking areas in the Emirate, with 200 cameras to be installed across several areas within the Emirate. The systems utilise cutting-edge AI enabled camera technology to capture vehicle images and automatically read number plates, enabling the detection of entry and exit times, calculation of parking duration, enable auto-payment of fees and identification of violations. All cameras will be solar powered and support real-time occupancy monitoring and automated fee payments. The rollout delivers real-time occupancy tracking and automated enforcement, improving parking availability and turnover while reducing congestion associated with searching for parking, supporting more efficient parking management and contributing to Dubai’s broader smart mobility objectives.  Both systems will be fully integrated within the Parkin App, enabling auto-payment through Parkin Wallet and providing customers with a seamless and convenient parking experience. Eng.
