Willingness to pay for parking

Municipality of Utrecht

By monitoring whether and where residents are willing to pay parking fees, we can better and more precisely implement our parking policy. This could indirectly lead to more or fewer parking spaces and more or less crowding at certain locations in the city.

Goal and impact

Monitoring residents' willingness to pay parking fees

Considerations

Results Uthiek Assessment: by monitoring residents' willingness to pay for parking in Utrecht, we can shape our parking policy in a better and more targeted way. Thanks to an improved form of our parking policy, we can properly perform our legal task of parking enforcement. This contributes to the value Power relations. The value Privacy is NOT at stake because we monitor at an aggregated level with parking revenue at different locations. Without using personal data from individual parking actions.

Human intervention

The algorithm (with direct impact on Utrecht residents and their living environment) only serves as a source of information for an employee, who takes the right follow-up step based on this information and the context of the situation. This principle is included in our Utrecht framework Internal Guidelines for Algorithm Application.

Risk management

The Utrecht data scientists, Information and Process Advisors (IPA) and Decentralised Information Security Officers (DISO) within the Utrecht municipality have a controlling and monitoring role in the application of the algorithm, in addition to the employees directly involved. By doing so, we want to prevent the following risks from occurring:


- data leak by making personal data of Utrecht residents publicly available

- algorithm takes a decision completely independently, without the intervention of an employee and without interpreting the relevant context of the situation

- 'function creep' regarding data in the application of the algorithm, causing the algorithm to give a distorted picture of what is going on. This can occur because the same type of data is used when applying the algorithm, and the algorithm uses that as confirmation of what comes out as information

  • Parking pressure

    Municipality of Utrecht

    By monitoring parking pressure in the city, we can better and more specifically implement our parking policy. This could indirectly lead to more or less parking slabs and more or less crowding at certain locations in the city.

  • Street parking revenue

    Municipality of Utrecht

    By monitoring and budgeting street parking revenues, we can better and more accurately implement our parking policies. This could indirectly lead to more or less parking slabs and more or less crowding at certain locations in the city.

  • Scan cars parking enforcement

    Municipality of Utrecht

    By deploying scan cars, we are providing a better and more efficient way of parking enforcement. As a result, if you are a resident, you can get a parking fine sooner if you were found to be in violation, than before.

  • Parking control

    Municipality of Rotterdam

    In the city, parking is paid and the municipality checks parking rights with scan cars. If the result is positive, the car has valid parking rights. If the result is negative, an employee always checks whether a tax assessment needs to be drawn up.
