Parking fees in Dubai can now be settled through the Salik system, applicable for both on-street and off-street parking.
In the heart of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is set to revolutionize its parking infrastructure with the implementation of an autonomous and AI-powered parking system. This strategic partnership between Parkin Company PJSC and Dubai Holding aims to manage and operate approximately 29,600 paid parking spaces across major master-planned communities [1][2][3][4][5].
The new parking system will offer motorists instant, cashless, and automatic payment capabilities, marking a significant leap towards a seamless and efficient parking experience. This initiative will leverage AI and autonomous technologies to comprehensively manage expanded parking portfolios, automate parking operations, and enforce regulations [4][5].
Real-time analytics will be employed to monitor parking utilization, thereby reducing congestion and improving accessibility. The digitally enabled, customer-centric models will facilitate efficient use of parking infrastructure, aligning with Dubai’s Smart City 2030 vision [4][5].
The phased operational rollout is expected to be fully functional by mid-Q3 2025 [1][2]. The benefits of this initiative are manifold: optimized utilization of parking spaces, reduced traffic congestion, improved accessibility and convenience, enhanced operational efficiency, and support for sustainable urban development [1][3][4].
This collaboration represents a key milestone in expanding technologically advanced, sustainable urban mobility infrastructure across Dubai’s communities, aligning with the emirate’s smart city goals and improving the daily experience of parking and traffic management for users [4][5]. The new parking system is intended to prepare for autonomous vehicles, AI-driven services, and a fully integrated mobility ecosystem.
Imad Alameddine, CEO of Parkonic, stated that the collaboration goes beyond parking and prepares for autonomous vehicles, AI-driven services, and a fully integrated mobility ecosystem. Dubai Holding's trust in Parkonic reflects Parkonic's innovation and dedication.
The AI-powered parking solution in Dubai aims to reduce congestion and cut carbon emissions, contributing directly to Dubai's Net Zero goals. The partnership will bring a ticketless and barrier-free parking solution without manual inspection to Dubai, offering a "zero-interaction customer experience" for car owners.
This initiative is part of Dubai's Smart City 2030 and Future Mobility Vision, demonstrating the emirate's commitment to leveraging technology for a smarter, more sustainable, and more efficient future. Dubai Holding Community Management, which manages more than 381 jointly owned properties and 88,000 individual homes, will oversee this project.
As the Assistant Editor, Waheed Abbas, continues to cover real estate, aviation, and other business stories that directly affect UAE consumers, this development is another exciting step in the evolution of Dubai's urban landscape. The partnership does not seem to be related to recent events such as the UN Palestinian refugee agency staff fainting from hunger in Gaza, the heated exchanges at Lord's, the expected ECB rate hold, or the profit report of Ajman Bank.
