Abstract:
Parking is becoming an issue worldwide irrespective of the developing or developed
countries. In the recent years we have seen a significant increase in the number of cars
on the road. The sales of automobiles went up significantly due to car financing and
lease policies. But with the increase in the number of vehicles we didn’t see parking
lots expanding. As a result, the parking spaces are shrinking that causes parking
conflicts. Digitally managing the parking spaces can help to the avoid these parking
conflicts for drivers and parking lot owners. A digitally manageable parking lot should
have a digital blueprint in accordance with the real parking lot. Designing a parking
lot is a technical process which needs multiple approvals and each revision costs money
and time. This thesis proposes a digital parking system PARKiT based on two primary
objectives. Firstly, help the drivers’ pre-book their parking spots completely digitally
and have a flexible payment option including online payments and cash. Secondly
provide companies a digital infrastructure of parking lot to manage their parking
system through a mobile phone. This will provide a seamless parking booking
experience with minimum conflicts. This system has a tendency to provide a costeffective solution for the parking operations. The system is capable to avoid duplicate
bookings, payment frauds and This report provides detail of functional and nonfunctional aspects of the PARKiT application. It shows the features, interactions, and
component level interaction of the system. The primary focus of the application is ease
of use and digitising the parking operations. We intend to overcome the rush outside
the parking lot of shopping malls and offices. Enable the companies who lack digital
parking systems get a flexible application to create parking spots and manage their
parking lot.
