  This week,the City of Westminster will start putting the first of 3,000 sensors into the streets.They will be in the ground by the end of March,making London the world's first major city to have the"smart parking"revolution.

  The idea is simple.Drivers spend an average of 15 minutes searching for a space in Westminster-which with Parliament,the main shopping district,and dozens of tourist sites,is the heart of London.If drivers know where the empty spaces are,they won't have to search the streets for one.

  Other cities,most famously San Francisco,have experimented with"smart parking"and companies from France to America are developing the technology.But San Francisco turned off its sensors on 30 Dec.2013,and is now evaluating the results of its program.Westminster is going at full speed,fixing 50 sensors a day with a team of three men.Boroughs in Manchester and Birmingham are also trying out the system.

  Each sensor in the ground detects when a car is parked on the street above it.The information is then sent to the public through a smartphone app.

  Westminster has 10,000 parking places that visitors can use.The first part of the program will see 3,000 sensors,each with a battery life of five to seven years.

  The list of benefits is long:Apart from reducing traffic,fuel consumption,and emissions from cars,it improves the local economy as people spend more time in shops,restaurants and offices rather than on the street.

Fitsall says the information will finally be fed into London's transport information network,so shen drivers look up how to get into town,they'll be able to see driving and parking times just as they an now get grain journey times and walking distances to stations.That could make London a model for other cities.
