EPS Global established the Joint Venture company ZTE EPS with ZTE Corp’s ITS company named ZTE ITS and won the first Chinese PPP parking project of the PRC in Jiangsu Province’s, Yangzhong City (mainland China). The scope of the project is to build 10.000 parking spaces and operate these for 20 years (concession tight acquired).

Hungary’s largest ITS company named i-Cell acquires major stake in EPS Global.

Hungarian Government owned EXIM (Export-Import) Bank’s Investment fund invests 3,3M EUR and acquires major stake in EPS Global.

Hungarian Government owned EXIM Bank invests further 1,65M EUR into EPS Global.

EPS Global acquires majority shares (50,1 %) in the project company named Yangzhong ZTE EPS Parking Management Company Limited, which company is developing and will be operating the smart parking system of Yangzhong city (Jiangsu Province, PRC).

Yangzhong ZTE EPS Parking Management Company Limited finished the construction of the 1st phase (2350 on-street parking spaces, 1000 equipped with geo-magnetic parking occupancy sensor, 39 LED smart guidance boards, connected 32 off-street parking lots and established the IT system) of the Yangzhong Smart Parking System and filed the request for check & acceptance and the financial audit report the Yangzhong Municipal Government.

On the 11th of December, 2018 our Chinese smart parking project in Yangzhong city passed the Governmental check & acceptance procedure, from a technical point of view all Government permits are acquired, so we can state the construction and testing phase of the project is finished.

Yangzhong ZTE EPS Parking Management Company Limited has successfully passed the project financial audit of Yangzhong Municipal Government, which was the final green light in order to start the operation of the parking system operation. The trial operation of 1000 parking spaces was held in Yangzhong city from November to December 2019.

After a successful one-month trial operation, the normal parking operation in Yangzhong city started at the beginning of January 2020. Thanks to not just the high-tech solutions and software in the smart parking system’s background but also the know-how transfer and management practices, our local Chinese team operated the parking system effectively with the software support of our Hungarian team. Right after starting the operation, in the first few weeks we had over ten thousand local users, who downloaded our smart parking app and our system handled over twenty five thousand parking events well making the parking situation in the city center of Yangzhong better. Cars are parking for shorter time, the parking spaces have a higher turnover rate and divers enjoy the guidance to available parking spaces, which result in less traffic. This whole system and operation model we developed can be applied in other cities as well, after adjusting it to the local requirements and needs.

Since July, 2020 EPS is the majority stakeholder in the Chifeng parking project company and the minority stakeholder is ZTE ITS. Currently we are operating a smart parking system with over 5400 parking spaces in Hongshan district, the city center of Chifeng city, which has a population of 4.3 Million, and located in Inner Mongolia, China. The parking operation right is granted for 25 years according to the concession contract for 20 000 parking spaces. The drivers receive the parking information (occupancy of the parking spaces) real-time, online via the mobile app and LED traffic signs. The parking data is collected with geo-magnetic wireless sensors. The municipal government has a control center developed by our parking project company, where all the parking data (occupancy and turnover rates, parking durations, income and other operational data) are displayed after being processed, analyzed and organized by the software system, which is also automatically creating reports.

Since the 1st August, 2020 the parking system in Hévíz, Hungary is operated with EPS’ smart parking software. Unlike other Hungarian systems, a license plate-based parking system was implemented in Hévíz, i.e. parking is not based on a parking ticket placed behind the windshield (pay & display), but on a license plate basis (pay by plate). The software system also stores all operating and thus revenue data and generates reports according to the needs of the municipality automatically. These are essential for transparent operation and the development of transport in the city. In addition the new software system is capable to connect new smart elements such as parking space occupancy sensors and / or cameras and the mobile application and intelligent traffic and control signs to the system. The drivers can pay via bank card and cash at the parking machines and also via bank card at the parking controllers. Besides in case of being fined the drivers can pay the parking fine at the parking machine of electronically on the parking website of the municipal government, which was also developed and is operated by EPS. It can be stated that currently the local government of the city of Hévíz in Hungary has the most modern and at the same time the only parking software system that meets the traditional, current legal environment, but also implements already some smart parking functions and can provide additional smart functions after related hardware will be installed.

We have delivered a smart parking system of 979 geomagnetic sensors and 14 gateways to our partner in Romania.

We have deployed a demo project in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, collecting parking sensor data and uploading them to Nokia smart city platform.

We have deployed a Smart Parking Data Integration and Converter Solution demo project in Medina, Saudi Arabia.
