Product Description:
Smart Parking is an innovative parking system using Intel Galileo, our prototype will focus on University Parking. The system will help commuters find parking and provide real time analytics for decision making and guidance to a vacant spot during peak times.
Currently students find it difficult to find parking at peak times, resulting in being late for class. While searching for a vacant parking spot commuters burn gasoline, get frustrated and drive recklessly.
Target Users:
- Commuters: Visitors/Students/Faculty/Staff
- Facilities Managers
- UPD
Value Proposition:
Universities can better monitor parking garage usage for better planning and improvements. A guided parking system for an available parking spot—makes finding parking a safer and easier process, more eco-friendly and possibly reduce classroom disruptions for late comers.
