The relevance of this research is due to the urgent need to improve transport infrastructure in modern cities to ensure more efficient movement and alleviate problems associated with road congestion. The research niche of this article is the limited evidence on the integrated use of smart information technologies to optimize parking and traffic systems in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The purpose of the study is to explore new approaches and technologies aimed at optimizing the management of transport infrastructure in urban conditions. The study assumes the hypothesis that integrating information technologies—particularly sensor-based monitoring systems, automated parking barriers, and mobile applications for real-time parking reservations—can substantially improve the efficiency and sustainability of urban transport infrastructure management through reduced congestion, optimized parking utilization, and improved environmental performance. During the research, methods of analysis, synthesis, deduction, and induction were used, supported by statistical analysis of transport and mobility indicators. The results show that combining electronic displays/LED indicators, physical barriers and automated access control, monitoring systems, and mobile notifications/reservations contributes to optimized parking resource utilization, improved service and security for users, and reduced time spent searching for parking spaces, which in turn reduces vehicle emissions. The conclusions highlight the practical value of implementing such solutions as part of an integrated urban mobility strategy, supported by cybersecurity and data-protection measures.
