A Review- “Smart Park” Android Aplication

Abstract

The number of personal vehicles usage is increasing manifold. People prefer personal vehicles to commute than depend on public transportation. Finding a parking space in most metropolitan areas, especially during the rush hours, is difficult for drivers. Parking problems are becoming ubiquitous and ever growing at an alarming rate in every major city. Due to this there is a need to provide sufficient parking places coupled with plenty of slots to help the user park his vehicle safely, also to ensure the user does not end up parking on non-parking area and cause discomfort to pedestrian.
The idea behind our Android Application-“Smart Park” is to help the user analyze area’s where parking is available and number of slots free in that area. The user can pre-book a slot in the area he desires if it is available. This will help reduce the load on the administrator as his physical work reduces drastically and user can search the parking slot through Android Application. Payment services are made available using Google Wallet, so the user is required to own a credit card or debit card. “Smart Park” Application relieves the user from the hassle of manually searching and waiting for empty slots to park the vehicle. “Smart Park” application is based on the client-server architecture. The client is provided with an interactive Android based user interface for the process of pre-booking of parking slot. The client requests the server for locations where parking is available and the server responds with slots availability.
