ParkSmart
It is estimated that an average of approximately:
US$600m per annum is lost in wasted time and fuel.
30% of all urban traffic consist of drivers searching for places to park.
55 hours per annum are wasted by each driver searching for a place to park.
ParkSmart enables vehicle on-street and off-street reservation/pre-booking of
parking spaces. The main problem with parking space availability is the fact that
it can change several times between time of checking and time of arrival at the
parking space location. ParkSmart enables on-street & off-street parking spaces
to be pre-booked/reserved. All payment/penalty transactions take place on the
ParkSmart platform. It includes incentives and penalties, so parking
administration costs can be reduced and tow trucks can be utilised more
efficiently. ParkSmart also negates the need for parking space road markings
and related street furniture.
At time of ParkSmart installation, onboard vehicle navigation devices or GPS
enabled smartphones are uploaded with information, including the vehicle model
& dimensions. These details can only be amended with high level permissions
from system operators. ParkSmart enables real time communication between
ParkSmart registered vehicle devices. When combined with CCTV (current
CCTV, as well as additional CCTV, where needed), as well as controllers of the
parking spaces (a ParkSmart integrated management system would be setup for
the controllers) and vehicle licensing agencies, ParkSmart is designed to enable
more efficient and environmentally friendly vehicle parking.
ParkSmart enables more precise charging depending upon factors, including the
size of each vehicle, time of the day and any other variables, which are desired
by the organisations & people responsible for the on-street and off-street
parking. Pricing can be programmed to take into account as many additional
factors as the controllers wish to add, such as cheaper parking for more fuel
efficient vehicles, as well as those vehicles, which take up less parking space.
When parking spaces are booked, ParkSmart calculates available space, taking
into account the size of currently booked vehicles, as well as duration of each
currently booked parking. From the driver’s point of view, ParkSmart would be

2. easy to use, as the driver would use the ParkSmart enabled navigation devices,
as normal, with the additional option of selecting the parking space option, as
well as the amount of time the parking space is needed, and ParkSmart can
automatically book the available parking space, which is as near as possible to
the destination point. The driver can select how much information he or she
would like to agree to, before the space is booked, but the aim is to address all
driver circumstances, including drivers who are in a rush, so do not have time to
investigate all parking options, before setting off on the journey. ParkSmart can
also take into account a reduction or extension in the time needed in the parking
space, if the driver makes adjustments. Time extension confirmation would be
subject to other reservations in the parking space, but ParkSmart can offer the
driver, who wants the extra time, alternative spaces, as well as offer a discounted
rate, for a parking space location change, to the other driver in question: the
driver who has booked the same space, after the current driver was due to
leave. Of course, the change would not be confirmed without the agreement of
the second driver.
In New York City, alone, annual on-street parking charges are approximately
US$197 million and parking violation tickets total approximately US$550
million. If multiple cities are considered, a business structure whereby a small
percentage commission, charged by ParkSmart, would prove most
profitable. Alternatively/additionally, navigation system manufacturers might be
interested in licence agreements.
Sea Smart
Sea Smart is, to summarise, ParkSmart for boat operators.
This system enables boat users to book (long term, medium term and last
minute) dock spaces in marinas, according to customer selected criteria, ranging
from the berth price to estimated time of arrival at the marina, fuel consumption
en route and related costs, taking into account weather conditions, as well as
distance. When integrated with existing on-board boat and marina management
systems, dock spaces can be fully utilised, as they could be rented on an hourly
basis, at last minute, when not used by the owner. Also, the marina
management would be able to manage many aspects of marina use more
precisely
Moor Smart
Moor Smart is an automated ropeless docking system for boats.
The initial plan is to build a system, which is integrated within the boat, without
the need for dock modification, so the boat user can use this at any marina i.e.
no marina modifications would be needed. I would also like to incorporate
automatic fenders: I have noted Fender Bag System Srl. The attachment arms
would need to sense different marina configurations, in order to dock the boat in
different marinas. The arms would be designed to be able to flex like ropes,
when the boat is docked. Existing autopilot systems, drive systems, distance
detector systems, artificial intelligent robotics, cameras and laser sensors can be

3. adapted to guide the boat from the point of entering the marina to the dock, then
detect the position of the dock attachment fitting and attach to this, using a grip
facility, which adapts to the specific dock design & configuration.
Moor Smart could be offered as a fully automated system or semi automatic
system, depending on the customer’s budget and requirements. For example,
some customers may wish to omit the rope replacement hydraulic arms and have
the system navigate automatically and manoeuvre automatically into the dock
space, where ropes would still be used. Other customers may wish to only have
the automatic mooring installation, so they still have to drive the boat to the dock
space, but do not need to use manually attached ropes to secure the boat to the
dock side. In time, when sales reach a sufficient level and a sufficient number of
marinas are aware of the benefits of the system, there would be good reason for
them to modify their docks to a uniform design, so the docking interface would be
more simple and then all the services, including water, electricity, fuel and
sewage (for smaller boats, which do not have on-board sewage treatment
devices), could be linked through the docking arm, negating the need for multiple
loose hose lines and electrical cables etc.
Moor Smart uses technology to enable docking functions to be more accurate,
leading to fewer occurrences of injury and boat damage, when compared to an
owner/operator or crew: this will lead to insurance cost savings. In addition,
there are green credentials, as fuel consumption will be reduced, when
navigating, manoeuvring and docking. To summarise, the desire is to bring
boating technology up to date with aviation technology, in many aspects.
