Africa's Talking, Nairobi County and Liquid Intelligence Technologies proudly present an unparalleled event aimed at redefining the future of transportation: the Open Hackathon aimed at building solutions on Transport and Logistics, with a spotlight on Traffic and Parking Solutions, in Nairobi, Kenya. This event is crafted to address the pressing challenges of urban mobility, focusing on innovative and practical solutions to traffic congestion and parking dilemmas that plague the city of Nairobi. By leveraging technology and creativity, the hackathon aspires to transform Nairobi into a model of efficient urban transport and logistics.
The United Kingdom’s DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Service (VES) API[1] plays a crucial role in supporting traffic and parking solutions by offering real-time access to vehicle details based on registration numbers. Traffic management systems can utilize this API to track vehicles entering and exiting specific zones, facilitating efficient traffic flow management. Additionally, parking solutions can leverage the API to streamline parking enforcement processes by verifying vehicle ownership and registration details, thereby reducing fraudulent parking activities and enhancing revenue collection for municipalities. Furthermore, integration of this API into parking apps or systems can provide users with accurate information about available parking spaces and payment options, contributing to a smoother parking experience for residents and visitors alike.
