Public parking violations in Dubai rose 16 percent in the second quarter of this year, reaching 660,000 cases, according to Parkin, the company that manages the emirate's paid parking system.
Parkin attributed the increase largely to the rollout of new smart inspection vehicles that scan for violations across the city.
Failure to pay parking fees and forgetting to renew tickets were the most common offenses, said Parkin's chief executive, Mohammed Abdullah Al Ali.
He noted that the company has invested heavily in enforcement technology, with its smart scanning fleet conducting 13 million scans in the first half of the year.
Other violations included parking on sidewalks, occupying spaces reserved for people of determination, and using spaces without valid permits.
Al Ali emphasized that the company's strategy is not only punitive but also aimed at improving compliance by expanding payment options and using artificial intelligence to better manage supply and demand.
"Public parking management is tied to the economy," he said, explaining that commercial areas depend on parking availability, while residential areas risk losing tenants if parking becomes scarce. Parkin has introduced measures such as free residential parking at certain times to ease pressure.
The company also allows customers to contest violations through its app, website, or call center, a move designed to speed up resolution and improve customer experience.
In addition to spotting violations, the smart vehicles collect data on parking occupancy, signage, and usage patterns, helping the company refine policies and pricing.
Parkin has also expanded its use of camera-based systems in multi-level car parks and open lots, where vehicles can exit without barriers.
Solar-powered cameras are being deployed in outdoor and event areas, as part of Parkin efforts to "spread a culture of compliance" while ensuring that technology plays a more regulatory than punitive role.
