Find a space with the parking information system
Aschaffenburg’s dynamic parking information system tells residents and visitors where the nearest multi-storey and underground car parks are located and how many spaces they have available. This helps drivers to find their way and a parking space. The dynamic set-up of the parking information system lets you know how many free spaces a car park has before you even get there. If a car park is full, drivers are directed to the nearest alternative.
Thanks to this modern system, we can:
- ensure cars are spread evenly across the available parking spaces
- significantly reduce congestion
- prevent unnecessary queues outside full car parks
- reduce fuel consumption
- reduce emission levels
The car parks operated by Aschaffenburg Stadtwerke are open around the clock.
