The Parksen Green, Smart and Connected City Platform has the power to revolutioni-ze urban infrastructure industries. To prove our solution works, we are first going to bring the desired and necessary innovation to one of the most outdated industries out there: Parking and Transportation.
Loss of time and Money According to the 2017 The Impact of Parking Pain in the US, UK and German [1] INRIX research paper, drivers have to pay a substantial price (both economically and emotionally) to find themselves available and affordable parking spots. The search itself costs citizens of the U.K. 44 hours (nationwide average) per driver per year. Combined, the yearly costs of all drivers are estimated at $33 billion. Their American counterparts spent 17 hours (nationwide average) per driver per year, which costs US citizens a total of $72.7 billion annually. These amounts get higher still.
When we factor in parking fines and overpaying (ha-ving to pay for extra parking time), drivers in the U.K. pay a whopping $44.2 billion per year while Americans fork over a grand total of $95.7 billion.economic and non-economic impactAside from obvious economical problems, the INRIX research also argues that the non-economic impact of searching for par-king weighs heavily on drivers as well.
OUR GLOBAL SOLUTION
Green, SMART & CONNECTED CITY PLATFORM
Our platform has been created with the intention of dramatically improving outda-ted and ancient city infrastructures. The aim is to streamline day-to-day activities for anyone who finds themselves in the heart of busy cities. To prove beyond the shadow of a doubt the necessity of our platform, we are going to put it to the test by tackling the problems of the Parking and Transportation industry.
First, we will revamp and expand our Minimum Viable Product (MVP): the Parksen Parking application. New features will in-clude real-time information on traffic situations, congestion and, most importantly, a guidance system that helps drivers find the closest and most affordable parking spots near them. Further down the road, we’ll offer clear, universal API’s and dashboards for companies, parking garages, municipalities, maintenance workers, emergency services and consumers. By offering everyone the same service, which runs entirely on the Parksen Parking Cloud, we ensure that all included parties can cut out the middleman that drives up their margins, thus guaranteeing reasonable and affordable rates across the board.
These API’s and dashboards will be connected to a variety of smart city solutions which will focus and rely heavily on IoT integrations and smart car technology. The collection of traffic related data will allow our app and platform to provide our users with a constant stream of accurate and real-time situations in the streets, while local governments and municipalities can use the data to fight congestion on a more.
STAKEHOLDERS AND USERS
DRIVERS
Being the primary end-user of our app, drivers are at the top of our list. We strive to make your parking experience so easy that you barely have to think about it. By offering real-time information on availability and price, you will be able to see in advance where there’s heavy congestion. Thanks to countless future integrations with IoT and smart devices [4] you won’t even have to worry about pressing a “stop” button when you’re finished parking, as it will all be done for you. Forget about over-paying on parking and risking tickets – you can just enjoy the activities of your day and leave the rest to us.
PARKING SPOT OWNERS
Whether you are part of a corporation that rents out parking spots to employees, a parking garage owner, a municipality representative or simply an individual with extra spots: you will be able to manage your available parking spots through our platform by means of an easy dashboard. Add and remove available parking spots whenever you want and use the available data in the dashboard to analyze your busiest and least busy moments of the day. Seeing a big drop in activity during the hours of 2 and 4 PM? Advertise your availability during those hours to optimize your usage and profits.
PARKING APP PROVIDERS
One of the very best things about our platform is that it’s globally adoptable and made in such a way that it can be efforTlessly integrated into your own systems. That’s why local parking app providers can integrate their own app, or use a white la-bel version of the Parksen app and enjoy all of our functionalities while customizing its design to their own taste.
SOFTWARE / HARDWARE PROVIDERS
In order to create truly green and connected cities, we are looking to replace as many old brownfield appliances with modernized and green replacements. In order to do this, we want to connect pro-viders of such equipment with cities and companies. The goal here is to connect re-levant vendors with city councils, corpora-te institutions and individuals that want to cater to the ever-growing world of smart parking.
DEVELOPERS & EARLY ADAPTORS
Have you ever seen Steve Balmer’s in-famous “Developers, developers, deve-lopers!” video? Well, not unlike Steve, we absolutely love developers too. That’s why our main API is entirely publicly available
for you to play around with. In an effort to drive adoption of smart city integration, our goal is to break through the skillset inefficiencies of the average developer and general difficulty surrounding API’s by supplying a simplified abstraction layer API in a familiar and easy to use format. Developers familiar with existing RESTful APIs will feel at home using the free SDK’s to interact with the Parksen network.
The API and SDK suite will support the same set of uniform core APIs in nearly all of today’s most popular programming lan-guages. Starting with Python,JS, .NET, C#, Objective-C, Java, Node.Js, Go and PHP.API contributions, integrations with third parties and industry-related decentralized applications will be rewarded through a bounty program. Keep an eye out for updated bounties on our website both during the ICO and after its conclusion.
Parksen Features & integrations
REGESTERING & OFFERING PARKING SPOTS
Anyone in possession of a parking spot can use the Parksen platform to make it available for other drivers. Do you have a free spot in front or inside of your apartment building? Rent it out to your fellow commuters! Thanks to our smart contracts you can rent out your spots and earn PARQ Utility Tokens. The Park-sen Platform will claim a commission of 5-10% for facilitating services.
LOCATING & MAPPING PARKING SPOTS
If you are the owner of, or know of any unused, parking spots, please let us know! Contributing to our metadata col-lection will directly improve the stability and accuracy of the system. Doing so will earn you PARQ tokens, the amount will be based on the completeness of your information as well as on the number of parking spots you’ve added to our sy-stems.
INCORPORATING SMART, IOT & GREEN DEVICES
If you own a garage or simply an individual parking spot and feel like you can make it smarter or greener, our partners are here to help you out. By purchasing supporting equipment, you will directly contribute to cleaner and smarter cities, and, because you do, we will reimburse a part of the price in PARQ tokens after you’ve installed them and added the information to your parking spot profile. Go green!
THE PARQ TOKEN
In order to make sure our community and the participating municipalities have the freedom to grow strong and stable, we have decided to issue a total of 1.000.000.000 PARQ utility tokens. After careful consideration we believe that this will allow us to focus on the long-term goals of our platform.By managing our distribution properly, we ensure the potency of our ecosystem as well as the health of our community. With this in mind, during the pre-sale we will accept pur-chases for a minimum of 0.1 ETH. During the public sale there will not be a minimum contribution, we would love to offer even the smallest of investors a fair chance of getting on our platform PARQ tokens can be bought with FIAT currency, Paypal, Credit cards and the following cryptocurrency: ETH, BTC. All purchased PARQ will
be transferred to the wallets of ICO participants after the ICO, KYC and audit have concluded.
PARQ TOKEN FUNCTIONALITY
We are issuing PARQ Utility Tokens for several reasons:
-to raise funds for the long term-development of our Green, smart & Connected City Platform
-to serve as go-to payment method within the Parksen app and platform for all stakeholders and end-users.
Our PARQ Utility Tokens are ERC20 compatible, built on the Ethereum blockchain and are thus suited for many wallets and, most importantly, for smart contracts.
