PARK MY RIDE: Your True Parking Companion

Abstract

Having a smart-phone for the people of any age is common these days. These smart-phones not only provide entertainment to customers but also help them work in a way to make their lives better. In recent times, many daily life problems have been addressed by using smart-phone technology. One of those problems is parking the vehicle. Due to the increase in population and the number of vehicles, the parking issue is getting worst day by day in many big and crowded cities of the world. People have to spend more money and time to find safe parking for their vehicles. The street and roadside parking causes various troubles like fines and damages to the vehicles. So, the paper presented here suggests the best possible solution for parking lots in Pakistan. By using android technology, an android application named “Park My Ride” has been introduced that will help its users to see parking spots near them with the space availability and a complete map navigation to access that parking lot. The administrator panel for parking owners will also help them to manage the booking of vehicles in their parking lots. It would not only save time but also ensures the safety of the vehicles.
