Park & Taxi — Brela, Croatia
Brela, Makarska Riviera (Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia). A seaside junction creates a daily chokepoint in summer. PayParq's Park & Taxi flow captures 20–40 cars per day and routes them to remote lots for smoother arrivals and better capacity use.
Why it works
The approach is software-only: mobile LPR captures plates and a live dashboard shows occupancy and dwell time across zones. At the chokepoint, drivers are offered a guided route to remote lots where spaces are available.
- 20–40 cars captured daily during peak season at the junction.
- Reduced congestion along the promenade and town center.
- Protected resident and staff zones with better compliance.
- Improved arrivals for visitors, taxis, and deliveries.
