Problem Statement In urban areas, drivers spend an average of 15–20 minutes just searching for a parking spot. This daily frustration leads to wasted fuel, higher emissions, traffic congestion, and stress. Current parking apps only show rough estimates of space availability, often outdated or inaccurate, leaving commuters helpless.
Idea ParkSmart is a smart parking management platform powered by IoT sensors and AI. It provides real-time visibility of parking availability and allows drivers to reserve spots before arrival, reducing time, traffic, and stress.
Solution
IoT Sensors: Installed in parking lots to detect available spaces instantly.
Live Map: A mobile app that guides drivers to the nearest available spot.
Advance Booking: Drivers can reserve and pay for parking before arrival.
