ParkSmart – AI-Powered Parking Assistant

 The Problem-

We’ve all been there—you’re late for a meeting or dinner, circling the block over and over, burning fuel, getting stressed, and hoping for a spot to open up. On average, city drivers waste 17–20 hours a year just searching for parking. That’s billions of dollars globally in wasted time, gas, and emissions. For EV drivers, the struggle is even harder—finding a parking spot with a charger often feels like winning the lottery. Current apps don’t really help; they show static info or rely on people manually reporting spots, which is usually outdated by the time you get there.

The Solution-

That’s why we built ParkSmart—a smarter way to park. It’s an AI-powered app that uses real-time data to show you exactly where open spots are, and how long they’re likely to stay open. By pulling data from IoT-enabled meters, garage systems, municipal sensors, and even other drivers, ParkSmart gives you accurate, up-to-the-minute availability.

Open the app, and instead of guessing, you’ll see a few available spots nearby, compare prices, reserve one instantly, and get guided straight there. If you drive electric, you can filter for spots with charging stations so you never waste time searching.

Who Benefits?

-Drivers: Save time, fuel, and stress—and avoid those dreaded parking tickets.

-Businesses: Happier customers who spend less time hunting for parking and more time shopping or dining.

-Cities: Reduced congestion and emissions from circling cars.

-EV owners: Peace of mind with reliable access to charging-enabled parking.

 

The Market & Business Model

Smart parking is a $16 billion opportunity by 2030. With more people moving into cities and EV adoption growing fast, the demand is only going up.

Why Us?

Everyone hates circling for parking—we’ve felt that pain ourselves. ParkSmart takes that frustration away, turning parking into something effortless. With AI predictions, real-time integration, and EV support, we’re not just helping people park—we’re helping cities become smarter, greener, and less stressful places to drive.
