One of the criticisms directed at the phenomenon of sharing electric scooters concerns the & quot; wild stop & quot ;, that is; the tendency of some people to leave their scooters where they happen, often in inappropriate places, at the end of the rental. Voi Technology , a company that offers a sharing service within the city; of Milan, is fighting against this phenomenon using the Parking Assistant , thanks to which Milanese users are progressively improving the way they park their electric scooter.
SCOOTERS AND PARKING 
The company says that the Parking Assistant function was born with the aim of helping users to learn in a practical way the new rules of the Highway Code, mainly in the field of parking scooters, which since last November can no longer ; park on the sidewalks but only in the specific dedicated areas. Here's how it works:
- All & rsquo; user & egrave; required to take a photograph of how he parked the scooter
- Each photograph is analyzed by a parking expert. If the car park complies with the new rules, the user will continue & agrave; normally the use of the Voi Technology sharing service. If, on the contrary, the car park does not comply with the rules, the user will receive & agrave; an email containing a short guide on how to park the scooter correctly with a note that, at the third wrong parking lot, you will receive & agrave; a financial penalty
- At the third non-compliant car park, the user will be & agrave; sanctioned with a deduction of 5 euros from your credit card
As the company reported, this solution has made it possible to improve the way in which the Milanese park their electric scooters at the end of the rental. According to what has been said, after sending the first email only 4% of users parked incorrectly again and after sending the second warning only 3% is parking. been sanctioned. The use of Parking Assistant in 3 months has improved the parking performance of Milanese users by 15.7% , going from 70% to 81% of parking spaces in rule.
The Parking Assistant function integrates another road education service offered by the company. This is RideLikeVoila , a sort of & quot; digital school & quot; for digital road safety certified by Vias Institute, the Euro-Belgian research center for road safety. Each new user of Voi & egrave; incentivized to follow and finish the road safety course, which also includes a chapter on the rules of good parking, receiving a credit of 5 euros after completing the course.
Finally, we remind you that Voi Technology has introduced in Italy the model of scooter Voiager 4 equipped with double tripod for greater stability; of the vehicle once parked and of front and rear directional arrows.
