On any given working day approximately 40% of the roads in urban India are taken up for just parking the cars !!!
Tremendous pressure on parking spaces have led to serious concerns like traffic congestion, accidents, disproportionate demand and supply ratio, environmental hazards etc.
The global average of time spent looking for a parking spot is 20 minutes
If we could somehow minimize this time it could save people a lot of time daily.
With the ever increasing car population there has been a shortage of safe and proper parking locations.
The solution we have developed tackles this supply shortage
In most urban cities people own private parking spots for their personal cars. These spots remain whenever the car is used.
At these times these spots can be utilized by other people to park their cars.
As a side benefit it generates a passive income for the parking owner
The main hurdle we faced was creating an accurate car detection model.
Another hurdle was creating a efficient location service to get nearby parking slots
