WAITING TIMES WILL BE CALCULATED IN CASE
BELKA AS, which continues to work with the project stakeholders both in the field and in the background for the project, will reduce the complexity and ensure a more efficient use of the market by regulating the excess waiting times in the market as a result of the improvement works.
With the new technology to be applied, traffic density will be reduced by monitoring the availability of parking spaces instantly according to vehicle types, vehicle weight and entry and exit times. The problems encountered during the deliveries, such as the inefficient use of the parking areas, causing delays to other drivers, and causing circulation problems and security risks in the field, will also be eliminated thanks to the new system.
