Parking Management System for Georgia Tech

Abstract

Goal of this study was to assess the possibility of having a parking management system which enables visitors to find an available parking space at Georgia Tech. Focus of the study was on locating the handicap parking spaces. As a part of this study, all existing parking spaces were mapped with help of satellite imagery and floor plans, while more than half of those were verified through field visits. Existing parking monitoring systems at Parking and Transportation Services department of Georgia tech were studied to assess the possibility of a real time information system for parking. For demonstrating the proposed solution, an android based application was developed to provide parking availability information to users.
