Detailed description (English): You are probably familiar with this situation: You are on the road with your car and when you arrive at your destination, you first have to look for a parking space. Sometimes it works quickly, but sometimes it takes a long time to find a suitable parking space.
Your navigation system does not indicate the time you spend looking for a parking space. If you knew how much time you would have to spend looking for a parking space, you might use a different mode of transportation.
In the research project start2park, we analyze parking search traffic and will be able to predict expected parking search times all over Europe. This could be added to the expected travel time in navigation systems. To do this, however, we need data on many different parking search processes.
This is where you come in! Please help use by using the start2park-app!
You can support us in our research if you record and share your parking search traffic via the start2park app. When you use the start2park app, on the one hand you help research in the field of sustainable mobility. On the other hand, you learn a lot about your own parking behaviour. If you use the app frequently, you can also expect small gifts.
The start2park-app is available in the stores for Android and IOS: https://start2park-app.fluxguide.com/fluxguide/appstore

Detailed description (original language): Im Forschungsprojekt start2park werden Daten von Testfahrer/innen zur Parkplatzsuche gesammelt, um daraus ein Modell zur Erklärung und Prognose der Parksuchdauer zu entwickeln. Europaweit kann jede/r als Testfahrer/in durch die Nutzung der start2park-App (in allen Stores) das Projekt unterstützen.
