AppyParking

It’s well known that parking can be a complete nightmare. If you want to find out about the different parking rules of a destination you have trawl through different municipal websites and see if restrictions apply using confusing PDF maps. These websites are badly designed, hard to understand and web based, so not at all convenient when you’re out on the street.

The answer to all these problems is AppyParking. It’s the first app of its kind to map out every single restriction and parking zone in Greater London. The zones go green or red depending on if restrictions apply. You can even discover free areas to park.

On top of that we’ve been working with all 33 London Boroughs to provide locations for Paid Meters, Car Parks, Disabled, Motorcycle and Electric Charging Bays. Westminster will also be providing real time parking bay dataa so we can show if parking bays are empty or not. AppyParking also lets the driver find the nearest cheapest petrol stations, find their way back to their car and we’re working with all the major car park providers so drivers can book and pay for parking spaces as well as park on peoples driveways!

By creating and centralising all this data, AppyParking provides an easy to use single hub of authoritative information that allows drivers to make informed choices before they set off on a journey or when they’re about to approach a destination. They can then use the app to remember where they parked their car.

The end result allows drivers to spend less time and fuel aimlessly driving around the block trying to find a space. This in turn reduces the impact of stray cars searching for parking spaces in urban areas, residential areas or no parking zones. AppyParking is fast becoming an essential travel companion that gives drivers peace of mind and ultimately helps reduce traffic flow, pollution and congestion.

In-Car integration using Ford’s OpenXC will lead to being drivers being able to find and pay for parking using the cars interface. It will also lead to the ability to find car locations and automate the process of looking and paying for parking spaces in real time.
