Smart Loading Zones in EU and Global market to regulate, control and monitor City Logistics - Last Mile Delivery in dense urban areas, based on Bluetooth devices and mobile apps for commercial drivers
Nowadays, many mid-size and large-size cities face really severe problems accommodating growing urban freight transit and its related parking demand due to e-commerce effcet while striving to improve citizens’ quality of life by reducing greenhouse gases, air pollutants emissions and environmental noise. Most of these urban freight challenges can be confronted by implementing a COMPLETE DIGITALIZATION of the loading zones in the denser areas of the city, which creates a win-win situation where citizens, authorities and commercial drivers benefits to improve city logistics. Parkunload is a globally innovative IoT (Internet of Things) platform to efficiently regulate and control LOADING ZONES in urban areas, by installing smart road signs (with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices) and by using a mandatory mobile app for commercial drivers. With Parkunload’s system the city can flexibly and digitally manage vehicles’ LOADING PERMIT and MAXIMUM LOADING TIME depending on several criteria, such as: vehicle emissions, type and tonnage, as well as driver’s profile (commercial, private, resident, …), accurate location, time of the day and during POLLUTION EPISODES. As a scalable and real-time platform, Parkunload turns to an excellent source of BIG DATA to monitor and a analyse city logistics. The business model of Parkunload relies on several REVENUE CHANNELS from cities, commercial drivers, private estates (university campuses, hospitals), research institutes, parking app companies and automotive companies. The smart loading zones’ global market and its related revenue channels weighs up to 20B€ worldwide. Since June 2018, Parkunload’s platform has been deployed with a mandatory basis in some cities in Spain and is currently being deployed as a pilot in other European cities such as Dublin (IE), Belfast (UK) and Stuttgart (DE). Parkunload has been also awarded by the main URBAN FREIGHT LAB in Seattle (US).
