• Notifications Via SMS Messaging
  In a similar way, add the best navigation routes with suitable parking spaces, as it could be very helpful for app users or drivers. In a nutshell, we can say that an ideal parking app must come up with a reliable and safest communication system, which can provide convenience to users eventually.


• Control System
  Car parking app must have different pain points and problems faced by Users on a daily basis. From ‘where to park’ option to in/out privileges to payments. This feature will provide the driver or user of the car parking app with up-to-date information and notifications regarding the process of parking directly to the user’s device.


• The Concept of Safety
  Safety is always an essential feature which application can’t neglect no matter what in their parking space finder app. The collected individual data from the driver’s device must be highly protected from the viruses. Also, the cloud information of parking spot finder app must be protected from the unauthorized usage.


• Simplicity of Car Parking Finder Application
  In parking mobile apps, the most feature to provide is easy access to the complicated navigation system. The foremost thing is that the screen status should not block the key elements of mobile device navigation, plus drivers or app users should not be distracted. The parking mobile application must show the parking lots’ addresses along with the number of free parking spots that are available currently. This type of spot finder app development can also integrate a voice navigation system for user’s convenience.


• Parking Time
  Application helps the user for different types of parking needs. It basically, includes the advance parking slot booking. It means before reaching the parking space you can book the parking slot. This type of application allows the on-demand parking reservation and enable users to make advance payment for the reserved space, for the time of expected arrival. You can book the parking lot in bulk also.


• How Application Work
  Parking applications are a very useful solution for drivers. With the help of such an application, it is very simple to find the place. Simply, drivers just need to install the application to complete the signup requirements. The second thing that it does- searching for the different parking place online. User can see all the available parking space in a different location in real-time and also it shows the availability of parking spaces.
  Driver/User can book a parking space on his preferred location for the time of need. Once you made the booking, you can park in the space on your booked time.
• Searchable car parks database with information about each park, including information about charging stations
• Real-time routing algorithm for planning multi-modal trips. (Integrates with Google Maps API)
• Mixed routes include estimated costs for parking (Daily/Weekly/Monthly)
• User interface for comparing between car-only, transit-only, and intermodal transportation options

The research component of this project was anchored in a variety of sources. On one hand there were data analytics(data I gathered from several sources available online), but also user reviews and ratings, understanding customer satisfaction, competitive analysis and doing some functional user testing. This exercise was mostly focused on search functionality, and not so much on development of a personalization experience which would present within the profile aspect of the application.

I followed Human-Centered Design method to make sure our design decisions solve the real core challenges in the Web and Mobile Application.
