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.
