London - The stress of searching for elusive empty bays in busy car parks may one day be a thing of the past, thanks to new 'collaborative parking' technology being tested in the UK.
Drivers can spend, on average, more than a day each year looking for parking spaces, according to a new study commissioned by Ford – and the new technology, being tested this week, displays a "crowd-sourced" map of available spaces, specifically in formal car parks.

Collaborative parking is powered by data from the parking sensors of vehicles using the car park. This informs the map that shows which spaces may be free – and can also incorporate data from the car parks’ own monitoring systems.
