Smart on-street parking system
PARQ is an on-street parking system that changes the way people find and pay for parking to most efficiently use scarce parking spaces.

Population increases, and lagging road capacity means cities are struggling to meet people’s demand for parking. PARQ aims to maximise limited parking resources by indicating available parking spots through an application installed on motorist’s smartphones, and a new metering and payment system simplifies ticketing for users and administration for cities. Users can even use their smart devices to make a payment and receive reminder about remaining parking time. PARQ uses a tap ‘on and off’ NFC payment system. Drivers register their personal information such as driver license and car plate license number, meaning there’s no need to display or check parking tickets. And a system of ‘smart’ networked parking meters handles payment, as well as identifying unused parking spots. By integrating all parking into one system, it allows city management to monitor parking activities online, reducing the chances of illegal parking in busy areas such as the City Business District, and increasing the efficiency of policing and revenue collection.
