Smart Parking on a Shoestring: Data-Driven Solutions for Growing Communities

In our latest podcast, we explore how a team tackled a deceptively simple yet expensive challenge: measuring parking usage in fast-growing communities. Their solution? A blend of pneumatic road tubes, portable traffic counters, and some smart Python scripting. Using Tellico Village as a testbed, the project highlights how communities can get accurate, actionable parking data without busting the budget or requiring constant manual observation. It’s a great case of data and practicality coming together to solve real problems.
