SMART PARKING
Description
Searching for a parking space in the city generates considerable traffic. Loss of time, inconvenience, unnecessary use of the road and pollution of the environment are some results. This project enables the traveler with information about the possibilities, costs and current availability of parking facilities before departure, on road and place of destination.
Objectives
The smart parking assistant can find a parking place in real-time. The driver can search for a parking place near his current location, or in the vicinity of a specific location. The smart parking assistant finds a parking spot based on current availability and provides the driver with a selection of parking places with static information.
