Smart Parking Lot

Imagine you are having a meeting tomorrow in Kollupitiya and you chose to take the car. The first problem that bothers is "Will I get a safe parking space?". This situation led us to make an Automated Parking System in which you can Book a parking space and the system will handle the rest.

It's very simple to use, all you need to do is tap on one of the Automated parking lot show in the mobile app. Then it will automatically book a space for your car. You can cancel or extent the booking period using the app but it will be charged accordingly.
 Once your car enters the parking lot, it will be automatically detected and you will be guided to the exact place. System will automatically calculate the charge and deduct from your account for the parked time.

We have planned to use the GPS and Location Service in Mobile to get the location of the car when it is outside the parking lot. Once it enters the parking lot thick concrete does allow signals to pass, so we had to find another way to get the location to guide the vehicle in the parking lot. Thanks to WiFi technology by which we can triangulate signal strength from 3 WiFi's and get the location relative to last known location.
The mobile app in which you have to login with your mobile number and vehicle number will be available only in Play store for the time being. We will try to make the app for the Apple as soon as our product is stable. We have to talk with relevant government officials to take up our project and implement it in few parking lots in Colombo area.
