Questions about the application to target customers (explain to the interviewed the goal of the application):


1-Will you pay for an application that allows you to know where to park (free space)? How much you would pay?

In my case, this application could be really good but before to pay for a tool like this I need to know if it is reliable and will give actualized information at any time. The amount of money could be quite high but I just will do a unique payment, 10€ fee could be a reasonable price for an app that tells where is a free parking near me.

2-How do you think population is going to react with this application?

First of all, I need to know for example that police won’t fine me to use my mobile phone application while I drive finding a place site.

3- You believe that the implementation of this new system would be a good way to avoid traffic jams and pollution and would be a good way to help the citizen?

No, but it would be helpfully for the citizen.

5- Questions about the problem:

1- Do you have problems while finding parking in Barcelona? How many time per week more or less?

 
I life in a crowded zone of Barcelona and I don’t have a parking site and I have problems every day to find a site except weekends.

2- What types of solution do you use to solve this problem?
·                     Public transport / walk
·                     Taxi
·                     Private garages

I go with public transport if there is an easy metro/bus connection to where I go or by walk if it is near home. Otherwise, I use taxi for fast and comfortable transportation.

I can’t remember the number of times!

4-Are you close to use car because this problem while parking?

Totally! I have to find other ways of transportation because parking is impossible in some places of the city.

5-What kind of solution would you apply to avoid this problem but maintaining the use of private car?

I need a parking where I can park a lot of hours near my home. A solution is be more restrictive with drivers that aren’t living near the parking area, but this idea has to be studied in a report.

Questions about the application to target customers (explain to the interviewed the goal of the application):


1-Will you pay for an application that allows you to know where to park (free space)? How much you would pay?

I think that if you trade with the Government of Barcelona they should apply a small increase on the payment of the tariff of blue and green zone. In this way, clients will pay you indirectly with every use of the parking.

2-How do you think population is going to react with this application?

How I said before with an implementation on the tax the acceptation isn’t important because it becomes a totally free service to the users of the parking.

3- You believe that the implementation of this new system would be a good way to avoid traffic jams and pollution and would be a good way to help the citizen?

Yes, in a certain way it could be really helpful for the scholarship because parents of kids letting their children on the school cause a lot of traffic problems on Barcelona. Using this service, parents can park near the school and walk for a while talking with their kids meanwhile without the app they won’t “take the risk” of find an empty place.

4- You like the idea of ​​making money, not just selling the app for smartphones otherwise with the idea of ​​putting advertising on it?
If you can target well your consumers and offer them interesting ads of near business or sites could be interesting.
In conclusion, I think that it is a good idea implementing high quality advertising
