The Housing and Development Board (HDB) announced today that it will be installing the Electronic Parking System (EPS) at 300 more HDB carparks by the first half of next year.

There are currently 1,800 HDB carparks in Singapore. 610 are already installed with the EPS. By the middle of next year, half of them would have it installed.
"The EPS has proven to be convenient to motorists and effective in regulating parking demand, particularly at popular carparks with higher short-term parking demand," HDB said.

HDB also said that there will be an enhanced version of the EPS. The old EPS system only allocates a fixed number of lots to visitors and leaves the remaining for residents. The new EPS system allow season parking ticket holders to fully utilise the lots.

To do so, the number of available lots during the prescribed non-peak hours for visitors will be increased, when season parking ticket holders are out in the day.
The number of lots available for visitors will then be reduced in the evening.







The enhanced EPS has already been installed at 440 carparks in Toa Payoh Central, Bukit Batok Central and Bedok Central.
HDB also said that it launched a mobile application in July this year. The app, Mobile@HDB, lets motorists know how many available lots there are in EPS-equipped HDB carparks, and also the nearest HDB carpark within 400m of their current location.
"To take a step further in sharing real-time car park lot availability information with all, HDB has made the car park and parking lot availability information to the public via public data sharing portals, Data.gov.sg from 15 Dec 2014. This will also facilitate private system developers who wish to incorporate such car park information into their developed applications (e.g. mobile applications), which will benefit all motorists," it said.
