Results

State-of-the-art, world-class, and unique technology was introduced in Debrecen. It demonstrates that innovative solutions can significantly improve the quality of urban life, surpassing expectations.

Summary

The service provided by Rollet fits seamlessly into the Debrecen Smart City Strategy. Positive feedback has shown it integrates well into the lives of citizens. Both DV-Parking and Parkour Technologies are so satisfied with the system’s performance that they plan to expand this type of payment to grocery shopping and refueling (gas stations).
