The problem
Drivers circle for parking, adding congestion and emissions, while available bays go unseen.
What to build
Build a low-cost occupancy sensing and guidance system that shows free bays on a map and nudges drivers to the nearest one.
Success looks like
Occupancy accuracy above 95% in a pilot lot and a driver app that reduces search time in a test.
Suggested technologies
- Camera or ultrasonic sensing
- Edge processing
- MQTT
- Map UI
- Dynamic pricing logic
