Call for parking game participants
Have you ever been frustrated because you can’t find a parking spot and keep searching forever? Are you motivated to improve parking conditions? Now you have a chance to contribute to a parking study which could improve parking policy & make your parking easier and faster.
The University of Toronto and OCAD University have collaborated to design “iCity Park” to learn about people’s parking behaviour in different situations. All you need to do is to play this fun virtual parking game!
To participate and contribute to the research:
- you’ll need about 15 minutes
- click here to download the application via Dropbox (virus-free).
- run the game – preferably on a computer, since smartphone screens are too small
- answer a few short questions about yourself
- play the iCity Park game
The information you provide will be saved in a database with at least one hundred other people’s, and will be used for analysis of parking behaviour, by our research team only.
Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary and you may decline to answer any question. All your responses are anonymous. None of the responses will be connected to identifying information. Our research team will publish and present summary results only and will keep individual data private and secure. We will summarize the research outcomes on our website www.uttri.utoronto.ca once the study is complete.
If you have any questions about this survey, or have difficulty accessing or completing the survey, please email author Bo Wang directly, or call him on his cell at 647-936-5757.
Note: This survey has been approved in accordance with the University of Toronto Research Ethics Board, which can be contacted at ethics.review@utoronto.ca or 416-946-3273.
Thank you for playing, and please share this call for participants with your networks.
