Taipei's Parking Management Engineering Department began embedding geomagnetic sensors in roadside parking spaces in 2018, calculating fees from sensor entry/exit times plus enforcement-officer input, and surfacing live availability in the 台北好停車 (Good Parking) app. Coverage reached about 4,200 spaces by December 2018, 6,700 by September 2019, and 7,624 by December 2022; separate camera-based smart parking poles for restricted zones followed from 2021.
