Just today, April 21 is 101 years the death of Mark Twain .'m sure the author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer suffered no parking problems in their quiet and southern Missouri, few haste and little traffic along the Mississippi River . Theirs was a time that would get the first large machine and with it the beginning of the revolution industrial. The South was slavery and the money is made otherwise, there were no entrepreneurs, at least as we now know, but at the height of capitalism and globalization can not think of another way of describing the entrepreneurs of the century: crazy with new ideas and willingness to carry out .
Good ideas are rewarded, in whatever form. The contest SmartCamp of IBM such rewards the best technology-based solution in order to create a smarter world. The prize is named "Entrepreneur of the Year " and this edition has taken the system SF PARK, developed by start-up Streetline . For those who have not ever heard the start-up entrepreneurs are small businesses with big ideas and little money linked to the world of technology. The innovative idea that won the contest is designed to save energy and time to drivers. Because who has not passed him that wanted to park near your home or place of work, go round and round, and every turn, turning away more of your site you want to finally find a place where you leave the car, far and away. And then when you come walking ... surprise! A site has been cleared at the door of your office. One of those situations that Mark Twain had been having written about it in one of his acclaimed short stories.
technology PARK SF is the placement of sensors on the sidewalks and parking meters that allow us to know where there are places available and at what price comes time. The sensors transmit a signal to the meter when the square is free , and in turn the meter connected to the Internet through the system SF PARK, informs users via their mobile phones. The system, already being tested in San Francisco in the "blue zones" fits well as parking fees is on a street with many or few seats empty. If on a particular street there are few vacancies rate set ups and similarly low in the streets with many vacancies. The idea is to seek equitable distribution of vacancies among the streets to make it fair for everyone and that the collection suit demand.
A greater demand, fewer seats and higher fares. This is capitalism Mark.
