Cincinnati, OH — Parking Base Edge, the applied research and innovation initiative of Parking Base, announced the launch of its first partnership with the University of Cincinnati’s Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) program. The collaboration merges UC’s academic rigor with Parking Base’s deep parking industry expertise to explore the next generation of AI-powered mobility and automation systems.

This partnership combines academic rigor and research depth with Parking Base’s real-world expertise and technology platform. Under the guidance of UC faculty and Parking Base engineers, graduate students are helping research:

  • AI-powered business intelligence dashboards that reveal operational trends and performance indicators.
  • Predictive models to support smarter planning and decision-making.
  • Dynamic pricing models will allow operators to test scenarios and forecast how rate changes impact demand and revenue.

This partnership creates a unique collaboration between academia and the parking industry, focused on helping operators apply AI to make smarter, data-driven management decisions.

“AI is already transforming mobility, and its use in parking and mobility is still in its infancy,” said an University of Cincinnati representative. “Through this collaboration with Parking Base, we’re helping the next generation of parking and mobility leaders not just understand the extraordinary power of AI-powered systems, but to harness that knowledge to create new systems to improve parking and mobility.”

The Parking Base Edge initiative is designed to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence, automation, and smart mobility technologies across the parking sector. By combining Parking Base’s real-world operational data and platform capabilities with UC’s research depth and analytical expertise, the partnership enables real-time experimentation and rapid prototyping of advanced digital mobility tools.

“This collaboration tools to clients…reflects Parking Base Edge’s mission of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in parking and mobility through research, innovation, and partnership,” said Ebby Zachariah, CEO of Parking Base. “We believe that by working with leading academic programs like UC’s MSIS, we can shape the intelligent mobility networks of the future.”

Parking Base and UC are currently focusing on building scalable models that can adapt to real-world conditions, from airport and university campuses to downtown districts and mixed-use developments. The goal is to redefine how parking systems interact with vehicles, people, and city infrastructure in the era of intelligent mobility.
