EasyPark Group launches Find & Park in Copenhagen

Posted on 01/03/2018

Unique new service shows routes with available parking spaces in real time

EasyPark Denmark Country Manager, Bernd Reul, has announced the arrival of the beta version of Find & Park in Copenhagen. Find & Park is a new parking guidance service which helps drivers find an available parking space in the city, holding your hand turn-by-turn along the optimal path to find available parking on the street, or in a garage close to your destination.

“After ten years of research and development, I’m delighted to launch such an innovative service for EasyPark motorists in Copenhagen. Find & Park is set to completely change the way we think about parking and mobility in the city,” said Reul.

Using advanced algorithms to process various data sources including transaction data, device tracking data, sensor data and floating car data (to mention a few), EasyPark has been able to build an accurate high-resolution map of parking availability.

“Not only will this new service significantly reduce the amount of stress and frustration for drivers, preliminary testing of Find & Park has shown to reduce the amount of time spent searching for parking by up to 50 percent. This has the potential to have a truly powerful effect on both congestion and pollution in the city of Copenhagen,” he added.

Unlike expensive, sensor-based solutions, Find & Park combines parking data with various other unique data sources to then calculate the optimal route for drivers to find parking along the way to the destination.

Drivers in Copenhagen can now try the beta version of Find & Park for themselves within the existing EasyPark app, simply by tapping the ‘Find’ icon at the bottom left hand corner of the home screen.
