Abstract
City parking is increasingly complex and available parking spaces are scarce. Being able to identify a space to park their cars can le ad many drivers to drive around the intended parking area several times, increasing traffic density and pollution. In this research, we propose a collaborative blockchain solution with gamification for parking. Users collaborate to report free spaces and receive free parking minutes for their service to the community. In parallel , this approach can be used to collect beacon information from the parked vehicles and create a low-cost collaborative approach for managing a parking control process platform Blockchain that can handle this distributed process and the gamification platform increases user s’ participation.
