What this case documents

In Petrópolis, our technology connects the channels drivers use for metered parking with management and field operations. Digipare lets drivers register a license plate, buy credits and activate a parking period from a phone. For people who prefer on-street self-service, the operation includes a network of Digicon parking meters.

In the management environment, Olho Vivo Parking organizes rules, tickets, parking activations and license plate queries. The app, parking meters, points of sale and field service are part of the same operating flow. Drivers have more than one way to use a space, while the team can monitor activations without fragmenting the operation across channels.

This multichannel design matters in a tourism city where demand changes throughout the year. Municipal guidance notes that official events such as Bauernfest and Natal Imperial may extend metered-parking hours in the Historic Center. During these periods, digital channels and on-street equipment distribute service across more than one activation method.

For enforcement, the Electronic Ticket Book supports CPTrans officers with guided data entry, license plate lookup, evidence capture and transmission of the record to the authority's environment, including when teams need to work without a continuous connection. The technology does not issue citations automatically: observation of the facts, classification, review and the decision remain with the competent officer and traffic authority.

Hours, areas, rates, exemptions and payment methods are defined locally and may change. Drivers should consult the municipality's official page for current guidance.
