In the current issue 11/2026 of the magazine Der Nahverkehr, QUINTA Consulting has published an article on the role of parking management in the mobility transition. In our article, “Parking as a Key Element of the Mobility Transition,” Dr. Friesen highlights the central role that parking can play in shaping sustainable mobility. He examines how parking garages, underground car parks, and neighborhood parking facilities can evolve from conventional parking infrastructure into intelligent mobility hubs, thereby supporting the integration of private cars, public transport, shared mobility services, and other forms of mobility.
Another key focus is on the digitization of parking management. Dr. Friesen explains how real-time data, artificial intelligence, and dynamic pricing can help make more efficient use of existing parking infrastructure and better manage traffic flows. At the same time, digital solutions can reduce the amount of traffic caused by drivers searching for parking and thus contribute to more sustainable urban development.
The article makes clear that parking management should increasingly be understood as an integral part of the mobility transition. The key lies in the interaction between parking infrastructure, public transport, and digital mobility services.
