Qihe county in Dezhou, East China's Shandong province, has in recent years ramped up efforts to make parking more convenient and orderly.

The county has made an overall plan for all public parking spaces and established different kinds of parking lots, including shared parking lots for different times, small parking lots, and multi-story parking lots.

It has also created an intelligent parking platform, which monitors and manages parking lots in the county using cloud computing, internet of things, and big data technologies. Drivers can also pay their bill on the platform. (Edited by Gong Jun)
