SMART TECHNOLOGY-BASED PARKING

Downtown parking problems are majorly caused by combination of recent increase in number of motor vehicles with limited amounts of physical parking spaces. Parking problems promote unsatisfied motor vehicle drivers communities and downtown residents. Despite multiple mobile applications designed for locating parking spaces, it is still an open problem, and the available solutions cannot solve it to a satisfactory level. Our goal is to survey the demands in finding parking space (availability) and design a mobile application for finding parking spaces. We developed an innovative parking system that features a mobile application, and future proposals to support and relieve parking conflicts in downtown regions
