panjilaras: PARQtoken- A Green, Smart and Connected City Platform

PARQtoken

A Green, Smart and Connected City Platform

About PARQtoken

Parksen combats worldwide traffic congestion and pollution through a Green, Smart and Connected City Platform, which utilizes the Ethereum blockchain, smart contracts, IoT devices and a real-time parking app.

The Parksen services are divided between our real-time Parksen parking app – a working product already in use with a client base in 113 Dutch municipalities – and the Green, Smart & Connected City Platform.

Utilizing the Ethereum blockchain, smart contracts, a universal ledger and a variety of IoT devices, we will create a truly sustainable and intelligent city development platform. With the collected data, we will be able to battle back against the ever-rising levels of traffic congestion and pollution that are damaging life in large urban metropolises and small cities alike.

The Parksen parking app will use that same data to guide drivers to available and affordable spots, while municipalities, parking garages, companies and other users of the City Platform can use the data to improve their own infrastructures.

An Innovative City Development Platform

THE UNIVERSAL SOLUTION FOR SMART CITIES

The Parksen services are divided between our real-time Parksen parking app – of which a modest MVP already exists – and the Green, Smart & Connected City Platform.
