General Information:
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.

Accessing the most current data:
To access the most recent data please use the v2.0 SODA API endpoint
or the CSV download link. Accessing the data from Socrata's v2.1 SODA API will access cached data which is only updated hourly.

Additional information:
Further information about City of Melbourne's parking sensors can be found here.

How the data joins:
There are three datasets that make up the live parking sensor release. They are the on-street parking bay sensors, on-street parking bays and the on-street car park bay restrictions.
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.
