Megacity Megapain…Citation

In New York, Moscow, Paris and other megacities, the problem of drivers is a municipal parking fine, issued after paying for parking. This is due to a loss of information about transactions for parking payment in the central systems of municipality. Drivers can’t appeal against the fine, since the municipality for a range of technical reasons or human factors does not have the transaction data.

Appealing against unjust fines
Long prosecutions and courts with municipal services or the driver’s inescapable consent to pay an undeserved fine.

ParkApp Pay Solution
Blockchain

Thanks to our platform and the ParkApp Pay service, all data on payments and transactions will be recorded in the decentralized Blockchain. This will avoid unfairly written fines and further proceedings between the driver and the municipality.

Problems of municipalities
Centralized data
The problem described above is also a serious and difficult task for the municipalities. Namely, the need to create a service for the decentralized storage of data on transactions that cannot be lost, fabricated or intentionally erased. Even the cashless transaction made on the on-street parking machines are being lost, not verified or under the argument.

Amount of Payments
The inconvenience of payment methods motivates the driver to come up with ideas of how to avoid the payment
On-street parking payments and session extension
In some cities there is a phone account payment via SMS. But mobile operators take a high commission and the driver needs to know the code of the parking zone, the service number to send the SMS to, and the text body of the SMS message itself. Mobile applications of municipalities are legislatively limited by the municipal area and cannot proceed payment for non-municipal parking lots.
The main disadvantage of this approach is that each city has to develop a mobile app to facilitate payment management. This narrows the ability of small cities to integrate such method, and secondly forces traveling drivers to install new apps again and again.
‘ParkApp Pay’ — Automatic on-street parking payments
Our auto-payment system allows the driver not to worry about the parking zones, rates, payment methods, extension and completion of the parking session. Combining the vehicle’s on-board computer with our platform and the mobile app, parking will always be paid correctly, on time and with minimum commission automatically.

For corporate clients. Cars integrated with the ‘ParkApp Pay’ system have a great value for those companies who hold their corporate cars for its staff. This system relieves the corporations from paying additional taxes of the gasoline and parking expenses reimbursement.
