Artificial intelligence helps you park with the Yettel app – meet the new PlaceFinder feature

A new feature in the Yettel app makes city parking easier

Finding a parking space in the city centre is often time-consuming and frustrating. It not only creates challenges for drivers, but also contributes to traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Yettel is now introducing a new solution in Hungary with its AI-based parking assistant feature, designed to help users find available parking more quickly and efficiently through the company’s mobile app.

Initially available in Budapest,  the PlaceFinder (HelyKereső) feature in the Yettel app uses anonymous, aggregated data from various sources to provide a real-time estimate of parking availability on specific streets. The AI algorithm takes into account traffic conditions, time of day, weather and historical data to optimise the parking experience.

This new AI-based parking assistant reduces the time and stress of searching for a spot, while also minimising unnecessary driving, fuel consumption and environmental impact

The AI-based parking assistant will be available in the Yettel app from 26 May, with plans to expand the service to other major cities in the future.

How to access it?

The feature is available in the Yettel app from version 12.3.0 and above. It can be activated within the MobileParking (MobilParkolás) menu using the toggle at the bottom of the screen, which lets you switch between the standard (zone) view and the PlaceFinder view. Different colours on the map indicate the likelihood of finding a free space in various areas. A new navigation function is also included: simply long-press on a location on the map to start navigating to that parking destination.

The development marks the next step in Yettel’s commitment to offering innovative digital solutions that make everyday travel not only more convenient, but also more sustainable.
