With so many competitors, and taking into account that several cities have started to dismantle the spaces reserved for parking in their urban areas, Ubiwhere has applied for EU funding to enrich its Smart Parking platform with urban planning capabilities, unlocking a new business opportunity and consequently standing out from its competitors.
QPARK, funded through the H2020 FET Innovation launchpad, intends to enrich Ubiwhere's Smart Parking solution to perform simulation-based analysis, by exploring what-if scenarios that change the number of cars moving around and the parking distribution and availability, leveraging on the results achieved by the FP7 FET Proactive project QUANTICOL.
These scenarios will help city managers to properly handle traffic and parking in their cities and to become better prepared for certain conditions and events (e.g. weather, tourist attractions), that will affect the natural flows in their cities.
