A new free digital app aims to cut the time spent searching for parking on the streets of Athens by harnessing cooperation between drivers themselves. It is called Parkout, and it connects in real time those leaving a parking space with those looking for one.
The app operates on a peer-to-peer (P2P) model, without the use of sensors or other additional infrastructure. When a driver is about to leave a parking space, they indicate via the app that it is becoming available.
