Here is a simple idea on how to help solve the parking problem at FSU.
I am freely giving this idea to anyone who wants to run with it.
The Problem: Very difficult to find parking on campus.
The Solution: Create an app call CARma that rewards people who are leaving with a parking spot to alert parking lot seekers that you are leaving.
How it Works:
- A person walking toward their car is alerted by the app to see if they are leaving.
- If they are leaving and select "yes" they are given two CARma points from the CARma bank.
- The app then updates the app's parking map to show that a spot is coming available.
- A seeker can claim an available spot which moves two CARma points from the seeker into an escrow account that will reward the user offering the spot when the seeker parks.
- This will incentivize the person leaving to make sure the person who claimed the spot
- There can also be tipping
- Once the seeker claims an available spot both parties can track and message each other.
Revenue Model: I have thought of several different ways to monetize this app, but I'll leave it up to you.
BTW: I did a quick check on the Play Store and did not see any app like this or any app called CARma.
The cool thing is this is scalable to anywhere there are parking issues.
