What is ZeroTraffic?ZeroTraffic takes control of road traffic problems by adopting a cryptocoin smartphone-based democratic governance model. ZeroTraffic uses incentives made possible by GPS & Bluetooth and our experiences in building the largest intelligent highway system in Canada to bring you the most reliable congestion management solution.
The SolutionThe main components of ZeroTraffic are the virtual transponder application and the gamification website. Together they provide the means to collect metrics on user compliance with avoiding congestion zones and the incentive scheme to engage and modify driver traffic patterns to achieve the goal of reduced traffic congestion.
White PaperCrowdsaleVideoEDIT:
We've been getting a lot of questions on how ZeroTraffic compliments apps like
Waze and
Google Maps:
The goal of ZeroTraffic is to provide both a benefit to the individual user (shorter travel time) and society since less congestion, ie. less cars on the road during peak travel times, means we all benefit. Waze and other apps like Google Maps do a good job of providing quickest routes given the current congestion due to things like accidents, weather, events, etc. This is referred to as non-recurrent congestion. ZeroTraffic attempts to engage and motivate people to delay or reschedule their trips to off-peak hours. The benefits to them is shorter travel times. They are also rewarded with points, which will give status rewards. Time shifting trips helps to reduce recurrent congestion which is something Waze does not do. What's amazing is that small reductions in traffic volume have dramatic effects on travel speed.
