Parking is the bane of many car drivers’ lives. Many have expressed their stress trying
to find a parking space for their car. After the car is parked, another problem, which is
forgetting where they parked their car, also happens a lot, especially in large-scale and
multi-storey car parks. In this project, these problems with car parking experience will
be further investigated. The solution to these problems will then be formulated through
a mobile application.
The mobile application is QR based and developed for Android devices with a builtin
camera. It is developed mainly on Android Studio and the backend implementation
is realized using Firebase. The application allows users to check the availability of
parking space in a parking lot before even going to the location. The application also
allows map view of this information to find out the nearest available parking lot. Once
the user decides on a parking lot, a parking lot layout information with each parking
space occupancy is available. Users can then claim a parking spot so that once they
return, the app can provide navigation to their parking spot as well as navigation to the
parking lot exit. At the end of the stay, payment can be done through the app digitally.
Although the implementation is in place, this capability is compromised due to the
lack of merchant status and screening from Google. Another improvement that can be
made is the use of parking lot sensor system to eliminate the need for QR codes.
Through the project, important knowledge gained through undergraduate studies as
well as previously unexplored aspects of application development were put to test.
These include not only technical skills but also soft skills such as responsibility and
time management skill. |
