IT Home reported on November 4 that, according to Science and Technology Daily, Shanxi unveiled the country's first urban parking AI agent, “Bolin,” at the recently held 2026 China Urban Parking Industry Conference.
According to the introduction, the agent was built on a smart parking platform developed in-house by Shanxi Construction Investment Static Traffic Company. Its main function is to integrate comprehensive real-time data on roadside parking spaces, public parking lots, and shared residential parking spaces; automatically generate urban parking heat maps and parking difficulty indices to enable flexible parking-space planning and pricing strategies; and proactively send parking-space sharing invitations and estimated earnings to space owners. It also accurately recommends available spaces to nearby drivers looking for parking and plans optimal driving routes, reducing the time drivers spend driving around in search of a space.
A person in charge said that tests of the “Bolin” AI agent showed it could raise the average daily turnover of parking spaces from 2.1 to 3.5 uses and reduce overall labor costs per space by 60%–70%. Going forward, relevant Shanxi authorities will focus further on improving the overall utilization efficiency of parking spaces across society, open up application scenarios, platform resources, and interface capabilities, bring various enterprises into a collaborative network, promote the effective use of more idle parking spaces, and jointly build a parking ecosystem spanning the entire industry chain.
