The ProjectKOMPAKT.
Coordinated Management of Parking Spaces in Cities — a pilot project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Transport (BMV) under the mFUND initiative.
Why KOMPAKT?
In Aachen's streets, different uses compete for scarce public space: parked cars, bike lanes, pedestrian zones, green areas, and outdoor dining
KOMPAKT addresses exactly this: through intelligent matching of private parking spaces, existing demand is redirected from public streets to private spots — freeing valuable urban space for everyone.

Open Urban Dataplatform

All collected data is processed in compliance with privacy regulations. Personal user data is anonymized — transparency and privacy come first.
Funded by
