According to a 2017 UK study titled “Tackling Pollution and Congestion” by Professor David Begg and Claire Haigh, congestion has been steadily rising in all major UK cities. When congestion occurs, tailpipe emissions are four times higher than when the traffic flows smoothly. Congestion leads to slower driving speeds, which in turn has been tied to an increase of toxic emissions and serious health issuesWho is Parksen?Parksen is building a Green, Smart and Connected City Platform - powered by the Ethereum blockchain, immutable smart contracts and a real-time parking app - that will bring innovation to modern and urban hotspots around the world.The Parksen Parking app has been functional in the Netherlands, and was chosen to be the most affordable option by the Dutch Consumer Association in 2017. Our mission is enriching and connecting these metropolises with truly green soltions, smart and IoT device integrations, which will cause huge cost reductions and general infrastructural optimization for citizens and municipalities alike. By using blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, municipalities, parking garages and companies will be able to purchase and integran new system and hardware upgrades from our partners.Parksen is GreenLarge cities across the globe are dealing with ever-increasing levels of congestion and harmful emissions. Traffic is coming to a halt, and citizens are paying for it economically, physically and emotionally. For instance: on average, frustrated drivers in the UK spend over 44 hours a year per driver trying to find proper parking, with yearly costs running up to $33 billion in total. UK citizens are also 64 times more likely to die of air pollution than drivers in Sweden – and twice as often as their American counterparts.Parksen is SmartDespite a recent surge in technological advancements, cities and companies still struggle with outdated hard- and software systems. The number of available parking spots displayed is often inaccurate, while maintenance personnel identifying problems in a timely fashion and on-street parking availability is predominantly unknown. These elements all contribute to congestion. Drivers don’t know where to go and end up spending way too much time searching for a spot, while those that offer parking see many spaces go unused, wasting everyone’s time and money.Parksen is ConnectedGovernments are notoriously skeptical of technological innovation. Bureaucracy stands in the way of progress, that’s a tale as old as time, but this doesn’t mean we should strive to always go around it. We all share the planet, we all live in the same cities. Cooperation between governments, companies, and consumers is not only good, it is absolutely necessary.The Parksen teamOur team is full of tech-savy veterans, transportation industry professionals, urban and sustainable city planners, IT-professionals with a background in Dutch Ministries of Defense and Justice, and season and tech-oriented Marketing Personnel and forward-thinking developers.
