Smart Parking Solutions: Redefining Urban Mobility

There are significant inefficiencies in the modern urban environment due to poor management of parking resources. Overcrowded parking lots in busy areas are a frequent issue, contributing to traffic congestion, delays, and driver frustration. In contrast, there are many parking lots that remain underused because drivers do not know about them or prefer more familiar locations. This research proposes a system to optimize the allocation of parking resources that recommends the best parking option for users based on their destination. Using real-time data, this approach promotes the use of underutilized parking spaces while alleviating congestion in heavily trafficked areas. In addition, the study explores the integration of residential parking zones in areas where business parking is scarce, aiming to deliver an all-encompassing solution for optimizing parking efficiency and minimizing the time spent searching for available parking spots.
