Park and guide: One region in Italy is reaping the benefits of an integrated system that incorporates driver information and parking guidance with traffic and weather monitoring to provide a smoother journey for locals and tourists alike

摘要

Situated on the Adriatic Coast in the Emilia Romagna region, Ravenna is an Italian city with more than 135,000 inhabitants. Rich in history and culture, it guards Dante's Tomb and keeps his memory alive by staging cultural events. As well as being a prominent city of art, Ravenna has also been innovative in the application of new technologies. In 2005, the town council called for European tenders for the installation of an integrated system for driver information and parking guidance, and for traffic and weather monitoring. The tender was won by Famas System and the system is now fully installed.
