Goal and impact
Effective and efficient allocation of parking permits that can be controlled based on objective criteria
Considerations
Results Uthiek Assessment: with the automatic process for granting a basic parking permit, we ensure that residents receive a proper and quick response to their request. This contributes to the Power Relations value as residents are informed of the outcome immediately after their request without waiting times. This contributes positively to the relationship between residents and the municipality.In addition, residents' freedom of choice is enhanced by the immediate outcome of the request, as they can immediately take a follow-up step based on the outcome. This increases residents' Autonomy. Successful checks on privacy and security have been carried out, and this contributes to the value Control of technology.
Human intervention
Normally, human intervention is standard when applying an algorithm within a process with direct impact on residents' lives. In this process, we chose not to apply this by default, for every request. Because it involves a relatively simple allocation of a basic parking permit. Which involves relatively low impact on the living environment of residents. However, staff do randomly assess whether the outcome of the algorithm is correct based on the set criteria. In the event of an objection procedure, there is standard assessment by an employee only.
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

- This algorithm automatically makes a decision on an application to purchase parking credit for visitors. If the applicant receives informal care, then the respective applicant is entitled to a higher parking credit. If granted, the applicant can use the scheme immediately. If rejected, the applicant is given an explanation as to why.Last change on 11th of July 2024, at 12:04 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

- 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.Last change on 12th of July 2024, at 9:51 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

- 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.Last change on 18th of July 2024, at 14:59 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
