We have created a very easy to use App -- based on Google Maps to identify vacant **Parking Spaces in Real Time.** We combine our parking sensors with real-time data that allow drivers to reserve/find/pay for parking efficiently. Currently, when a driver needs to park their vehicle, they often blindly hunt for a space, causing stress and wasting time. When they find one, they are met by parking meters, pay-and-display machines and/or pay-by-phone/-application systems wherein they need to estimate their required length of stay on arrival; thus, overpaying and fines are common. We have introduced a 'COVID-19' alert feature to our app so that when users park their vehicles, they receive a notification to show the **COVID19** status of the area. In collaboration with Torridge County Council we would propose to test our parking solution in designated areas and car parks. The data can then be used by the Council to modify and adjust conditions to ease traffic congestion, minimalise pollution in areas where needed and assist in the control of COVID-19\. Small businesses/independents that provide retail/service sector are often located around High Streets and Shopping Arcades. These areas have a high turnover of visitors, often in vehicles. As the visitor pays for parking they receive a small, very local marketing notification. The parking event triggers the marketing event. This promotes businesses within 500m of the parking location, again using Geo-Fencing, and making the marketing very relevant. This smart parking solution will reduce carbon emissions, improve traffic congestion, inform about COVID-19 status, whilst helping local businesses recover from the impact of Covid-19\.

我们已经创建了一个非常易于使用的应用程序-基于谷歌地图，以识别空置的**停车位在实时。**我们将停车传感器与实时数据相结合，使司机能够有效地预订/找到/支付停车费用。目前，当司机需要停车时，他们经常盲目地寻找停车位，造成压力，浪费时间。当他们找到一个时，他们会遇到停车计时器、付费显示机和/或电话付费/应用系统，他们需要估计他们到达时所需的停留时间；因此，多付工资和罚款很常见。我们在我们的应用程序中引入了“COVID-19”警报功能，这样当用户停车时，他们就会收到一条通知，显示该地区的“COVID-19”状态。与托里奇郡议会合作，我们将提议在指定区域和停车场测试我们的停车解决方案。然后，理事会可以使用这些数据来修改和调整条件，以缓解交通拥堵，在需要的地区最大限度地减少污染，并协助控制COVID-19。提供零售/服务部门的小型企业/独立企业通常位于商业街和购物中心附近。这些地区的游客流动率很高，通常是乘坐汽车。当游客支付停车费时，他们会收到一个小的、非常本地的营销通知。停车事件触发营销事件。这促进了停车场500米内的商业活动，再次使用地理围栏，并使营销非常相关。这一智能停车解决方案将减少碳排放，改善交通拥堵，通报COVID-19状况，同时帮助当地企业从COVID-19的影响中恢复。
