Fair allocation of a finite resource
Currently, urban street space is often treated as a “first come, first served” resource, leading to inefficient use, endless parking searches, and problematic illegal parking. Public space is also a valuable asset. We need to create a fair marketplace where the use of a public resource for private or commercial purposes is transparently priced.
- Dynamic pricing
Fees can be adjusted based on demand, time of day, and vehicle environment negativ impact and size to encourage efficient use of space - Incentivizing the common good
Priority and lower rates can be granted to services that serve the community
from static parking to dynamic booking
To regain control and improve urban flow, municipalities must establish a mandatory digital booking system for public parking spaces. The foundation is a digital map of all available street spaces. Every square meter of the curb must be categorized and made bookable in real-time.
guaranteed availability through binding bookings
The primary benefit of a digital parking management system is the transition from hope to certainty. Users can book specific time slots for defined purposes:
- healthcare and social services
Prioritized slots for e.g. dialysis transports, emergency services, and mobile care - logistics and trade
Dedicated windows for parcel deliveries and craftsmen, preventing illegal double-parking - PUDO (pick-up/drop-off) zones for taxis and minibuses (autonomous vehicles will communicate directly with this system to find their designated drop-off points (PUDO zones))
- micro-depots
- private needs
Organized slots for moving vans or temporary loading and unloading
Enhancing safety and traffic flow
Illegal parking in the second row is one of the leading causes of traffic congestion. By providing a reliable booking system including a law enforcement against illegal parking we achieve:
- occupational safety
Delivery drivers and medical staff no longer have to unload in high-risk traffic zones. They have a guaranteed, safe space to operate. - reduction of search traffic
A significant portion of urban traffic consists of vehicles looking for parking. Digital booking eliminates this unnecessary mileage and the associated emissions. - clear lanes for transit
With the curb managed digitally, the main traffic lanes remain clear of parking vehicles.
