In an era where urban mobility is rapidly evolving, SKIDATA stands at the forefront, not just as a leader in parking solutions but as an enabler of comprehensive Mobility Hubs. Leveraging our deep understanding of parking industry dynamics and end-user needs, we're transforming the concept of parking into a multifaceted mobility experience. 

 

Navigating Urban Journeys: Enabling Mobility Hubs with SKIDATA Expertise

SKIDATA recognizes that today's urban travelers seek more than just parking. They desire seamless, integrated transportation experiences. That's where our expertise comes into play. We enable Mobility Hubs that are more than parking spaces; they are the nexus of diverse transport modes, meeting the evolving needs of the modern city dweller.

 

 

SKIDATA Connect: The Backbone of Integrated Urban Mobility

At the heart of this transformation is SKIDATA Connect, a platform that displays our commitment to innovation and user-centric solutions. SKIDATA Connect facilitates the effortless integration of various transportation modes, apps, add-on services, and payment solutions, creating a cohesive and user-friendly urban transit ecosystem.

 

Seamless Control at Your Fingertips

SKIDATA simplifies urban travel by making your smartphone the ultimate remote control for mobility. Using their mobile, users effortlessly manage parking, EV charging, seamless payments for public transport, and secure spots for bicycles and scooters. Many services, including pay-per-use parking and automatic charging, require no active user input, showcasing our commitment to a frictionless, automated urban journey.

  4. Last-Mile Delivery Solutions: Transforming parking facilities into crucial nodes in the urban logistics chain with designated areas for package pickups and drop-offs.

Case Study: The SKIDATA and NMBS Synergy

 

 

The collaboration between SKIDATA and NMBS, the National Company of the Belgian Railways, is a shining example of how these concepts are being brought to life.

Through this partnership, we have created a "mobility pass" that allows access to over 23,000 parking spaces at 54 Park & Ride sites across Belgium, along with other urban mobility services.

This project demonstrates how parking facilities can be seamlessly integrated with public transport, EV charging, and other services, enhancing the convenience and sustainability of urban travel.

It's tangible proof that SKIDATA is not just talking about Mobility Hubs but actively creating them, offering practical, working solutions that are reshaping urban mobility throughout Belgium.
