Abstract
Parking is considered a big issue while driving to your office or
recreational places with your family. One of the best ideas to solve the parking
problem is using technology that helps the users to easily find the nearest space for
parking in a more efficient manner. Parking is a large issue that is quite developing
everywhere with the increase in the population.

Parking Finder App Development is considered as the finest option to resolve the
problem more efficiently. We are witnessing the flood of the vehicle on the road so it
is quite needless to say that it could cause more problems. With the increment in the
density of the vehicle, parking still remains as the biggest problem. With the use of
the technology which is an app called “ParkHere”, people could conveniently unable
to easily locate parking spaces in most times to tend the parking vehicle.

The Parking finder app would efficiently result in finding the particular location.
ParkHere is not only highly suitable for the rescue in the urgent situation as it could
be easily located nearby parking place or reserve the parking space but also it will
make a way for parking space or empty space owner to earn more money.

Introduction
This document is a report for the project digital parking
management system which is ParkHere. The project is an attempt
to design and create an API (Application Program Interface) for
applications so that they can be used by numerous different
people without specific knowledge on finding parking space by the
application. Examples of these users are employers, students,
and any kind of persons with vehicle. The main difficulty with the
 creation is the collaboration with Google Map or something similar
with this.

The need for such collaboration is needed. Without the

Realtime location tracking service user can’t find directions and
couldn’t detect which place is closer according to the user. Also,
if a user doesn’t know his/her exact location with the service of
google they can automatically find their nearest parking location
by turning on the GPS system, this digital technology is used by
many drivers and vehicle owner.

This is a new application in many countries such as

Bangladesh. The parking finder mobile apps are the need of the
hour and are gaining a lot of popularity because people don’t want
to spend their time looking for parking spots. A new application can
also benefit from the advantage of non-recurring engineering
allowing greater sophistication in the use of such an API. This
project also explores the possibility that any user may wish to
control an application from any locations regardless of the device
that they have access to at that point in time - the fact that the
user should not be limited in finding parking spaces where they
are physically parking finding location.

Aims & Objectives of the Project

The aim of this project is to create an API for reducing parking

space finding problems for every vehicle owned people by
providing Realtime location service which will be used for – finding
parking locations near the user, distance and direction
calculation. By not only providing perking service and also help
users by providing gas station service and vehicle repair service.
Developing the API with the target to make it internationally.

Overview of the Project Progress

A formal view to the progress of the project was taken and

resulted in a systematic development of the application. In order
to meet the stated aims, the following steps were undertaken:
 1. Initial Design - The project was split into three separate
parts, which were designed independently:

(a) Design of the API - Consideration of issues such as

the services re-quired, the semantics of the needed operations and the
language and systems to be used for an eye-catching interface.

(b) Design for service - In order to communicate with the

buyer the communication transfer and data transfer
system making is in progress.
(c) Design for web and mobile application – We have
completed our design for both website application and
mobile software.

2. Specification - The interfaces between the three areas were

specified precisely, and the requirements for each of the
three sections were elicited.

3. Implementation - These four areas were separately

implemented, mostly in HTML. Wherever possible existing
systems were used to provide the basis of the functionality.

4. Testing - The implementation from each of the four parts

were then tested as a single system

5. Evaluation - The system was evaluated through comparisons

to existing systems were possible and through qualitative
analysis of the commercial viability of the implementation.

Method
For this project we used mainly HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
Initially we make our project as a web application and tested it by hosting it.
We also use Bootstrap v4.1 to make our project responsive in any kind of
devices and platforms. We use PHP for taking input from user such as
username, password, personal information and so on.
Features & Discussion

ParkHere ultimately helps the users to easily find the parking

spot area in a much more efficient manner. Below are the features of our
application:

▪ Vehicle Tracking
ParkHere helps the user with the vehicle tracking feature so that it is easier
to track the location of the vehicle in the desired parking place.

▪ Map searching
Map searching feature is enabled in the ParkHere for the user to easily
locate the vehicle using the Google Maps.

▪ Operational Zone Set-up

It features allows the user to easily identify operational zones to helps
users to locate nearby parking location. It is a great way to meet the
parking associated services.

▪ Heat Map View

Heat Map View features are included in ParkHere to show the user about
the busiest time on preferred location. View real-time locations on parking
spots and popular areas.

▪ Rate Card
Rate Card feature in the app lets the user verify rates in parking places
based on different aspects. Different parking packages are available for the
convenience of the user.

▪ Multiple locations
Users can find suitable parking places based on the requirement and
convenience.
 ▪ GPS
ParkHere includes the GPS features that help the user to easily locate
nearby parking places. It is more convenient to choose the optimized route
for the user.

▪ In-app Communication
Communication is an integral part for the business. Getting convenient
connected with consumers always via SMS, emails and many more. Keep
your route updated with the latest information via In-app Communication
feature to the maximum extent.

▪ Cloud-Based
ParkHere App is the cloud-based to make it highly protected with easy to
use. All the valuable data and location of the user are stored on the clouds.

▪ Social Media Login

Users have the signup/login for ParkHere to easily stay connected with
social media accounts with one-time password.

▪ Geolocation
ParkHere allows the users to browse the parking spaces so it allows
finding the easiest path for reaching parking spots.

Future Works
We are aimed to Improve on the current Vehicle Parking
Reservation systems by creating Online vehicle reservation system which
enables the client/driver to book parking space online the existing vehicle
parking reservation system was file based where customer pays cash at the
receptionist then a receipt is given to the customer. OVPRS enables drivers
to locate and reserve a parking place online through accessing it on web
platform where client login then she/he start process of booking a parking.
Some Future Works are-
 1. The system be used by other parking companies because WE believe
that the system can effectively and efficiently display the parking lot
available, can allow clients, employee to reserve a free parking lot
available.
2. We have to do more research such that the vehicles detail should able
to be scanned during entering in the parking place.
3. More research should also be done to extend this project to include
tracking vehicle by using CCTV. camera for the purpose of maintaining
the security.
4. We will make sure any module that are not captured in a proposed
system will be included during the system upgrade due to the time
factor (for example: online payment module, etc).
5. We have to make collaboration with Google Map and Online banking
System.

Conclusion
Online vehicle parking reservation system
improves the existing system since we are in computerized world. With this
new system is mandatory, it enables the user of the system (client, employee,
System administrator) to reserve a parking lot online and this reduces the
wasting of time of the clients looking for where to park, increase the safety of
the property since the parking lot is numbering.
