Amsterdam: home to quaint canals, around a million bikes, and this year, InterTraffic 2018: the largest gathering of traffic and mobility professionals worldwide. Being the perfect place to discover the future of our industry, we headed over to Amsterdam.
Stationed in the Smart Mobility area, we were ready to show off the world of automatic parking. Within this area, companies exhibited various solutions to all of the major changes happening in the traffic industry. From the power of automated driving to the challenges presented by societal changes; there was something to be found for just about everyone.
With over 30,000 visitors from 134 different countries, we needed to stand out – so we did. Right in the middle of our booth, we had a fairground claw machine filled with our dongles. “Roll up! Roll up!” we shouted as we explained the game; “If you get the dongle, you keep the dongle!” As attendees navigated our claw, we’d tell them all about how Parkd could change the way they park while allowing them to share their experiences in our sector.
Our booth promoted strong conversations about the data produced by connected cars and how it could be leveraged to tackle traffic patterns within cities. These conversations were some of the most valuable things we picked up at InterTraffic 2018.
In short: we had some incredible conversations, over 20 people won a Parkd dongle and… we ate far too much sushi (Seriously… the sushi bar was so good!).
