Parking and Urban Mobility will be the overarching themes of the 16th Congress of the European Parking Association (EPA), which takes place in Dublin, Ireland, next month. Every two years EPA organises an international congress that discusses the perspectives and challenges of stationary traffic in connection with traffic development in the cities of Europe.
The 2013 edition is being hosted by the Irish Parking Association.
“The parking industry is now dealing with the policy and decision makers
at country and European level, and this congress improves our high
level, high status visibility to the important decision makers and
institutions and stakeholders,” says IPA secretary and congress
coordinator Keith Gavin.
Managing the High Street, cross-border parking enforcement and smarter methods of collecting data and payments will be discussed at EPA Congress, which takes place between 11-13 September.
The event will be opened on 11 September by Irish minister for
transport Leo Varadkar. The day will provide a strategic overview of the
parking sector, with papers addressing parking in Europe, a focus on
Ireland and the concept of ‘smart’ cities. Speakers will include the
European Commission’s Olivier Onidi and Francois Gindre from the City of
Lyon.
The second day will start with case studies that have an Irish dimension, including presentations by Michael Philips of Dublin City Council and Gerry Murphy, chief executive of the National Transport Authority.
A session on parking technology will include presentations on the SF Park on-street parking system in San Francisco as well as ones on on-street cashless parking by Ties de Groot from the city of Rotterdam. Craig Norton of Sydney International Airport will discuss airport parking.
There will be a debate on the role of parking in either supporting or killing off the High Street.
The centrepiece of the afternoon will be the presentation of the European Parking Awards 2013.
The day ends with a session on sharing vehicle and driver details across European borders and alternative approaches to parking enforcement.
The final day, Friday 13 September, starts with a look at mobility management in larger cities. Transport for London’s Alan Bristow will pass on lessons to be learned from the London Olympics. Patrick Troy, chief executive of the British Parking Association, will address managing media relationships.
The parallel exhibition offers an opportunity to the manufacturers, suppliers and others active in this field to promote their products and services.
