On-street Parking Bay Sensors
<b>Upcoming Changes: Please note that our parking system is being improved and this dataset may be disrupted. <a href='https://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/building-and-development/shaping-the-city/city-projects/Pages/parking-sensor-upgrade.aspx'>See more information here</a>.</b>
Contains information from in-ground car parking bay sensors across the city with status indicating if a car is present or not present, the spatial coordinate of the sensor, and the street marker id.
<b>Accessing the most current data:</b>
To access the most recent data please use the <a href='https://data.melbourne.vic.gov.au/resource/vh2v-4nfs.json?$limit=5000'>v2.0 SODA API endpoint</a>
or the <a href='https://data.melbourne.vic.gov.au/api/views/vh2v-4nfs/rows.csv?accessType=DOWNLOAD'>CSV download link</a>. Accessing the data from Socrata's v2.1 SODA API will access cached data which is only updated hourly.
<b>Additional information:</b>
Further information about City of Melbourne's parking sensors can be found <a href="https://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/parking-and-transport/parking/Pages/parking-faqs.aspx#sensors">here</a>.
<b>How the data joins:</b>
There are three datasets that make up the live parking sensor release. They are the on-street parking bay sensors, <a href="https://data.melbourne.vic.gov.au/Transport-Movement/On-street-Parking-Bays/crvt-b4kt">on-street parking bays</a> and the <a href="https://data.melbourne.vic.gov.au/Transport-Movement/On-street-Car-Park-Bay-Restrictions/ntht-5rk7/data">on-street car park bay restrictions</a>.
The way the datasets join is as follows. The on-street parking bay sensors join to the on-street parking bays by the marker_id attribute. The on-street parking bay sensors join to the on-street car park bay information by the bay_id attribute. The on-street parking bays and the on-street car park bay information don’t currently join.
<b>Outages</b>
