Welcome to the Smart Parking App project on GitHub! This project aims to revolutionize the way we experience urban parking by providing a user-friendly mobile app and a powerful web portal for efficient parking management. Below, you'll find a detailed README to help you understand the project's goals, features, and how to get started.
Project Overview
Problem Statement
Parking in urban areas can be a time-consuming and frustrating experience, often leading to wasted time and fuel. This project addresses these issues by providing a comprehensive solution for both users and parking authorities.
Solution
Our solution consists of a user-friendly mobile app and a web portal that offers the following key features:
1 **User-Friendly Mobile App:**
- An intuitive interface for a seamless user experience.
- Real-time parking space occupancy detection using ALPR (Automatic License Plate Recognition) cameras.
- Integration with the Google Maps API for finding parking spaces near the user's current location or a specific destination.
- Reservation of parking spots with dynamic pricing considerations.
- Interactive map with available spots in green and full spots in red.
- Turn-by-turn navigation to guide users to their chosen parking space.
- Algorithm-driven parking pricing adjustments based on demand, time of day, and location.
- Transparent display of current parking fares for each spot.
- Integration with a secure payment gateway for reservations and payments through UPI.
- Automatic fare deduction from Fasttag accounts using ALPR technology if a slot is not booked.
-
Web Portal for Parking Authorities:
- Real-time monitoring of parking space occupancy.
- Tracking of parking violations.
- Generation of comprehensive reports for data-driven decisions.
- Tools for adjusting parking pricing and policies as needed.
-
Scalability and Expansion:
- The project is designed with scalability in mind to accommodate more parking spaces and users over time.
- There's potential for expansion to other cities or regions as the app proves successful.
