3. My Solution Create Heat Maps Display Routing Data
Usage in parking lots & garages
Row detail in lots
Display Routing Data
Show the paths traveled to park on campus
Mark the spaces parked

4. Similar Work NAPA: Nearest Available Parking Lot App
University of California, Santa Barbra
Utilized mobile devices to assist to find nearest parking area
Collecting Activity Data from GPS Readings
Institute of Transportation Studies, UC Irvine
Uses GPS recording devices to collect travel data from the user for route usage
JJRT Smart Garage
University of Central Florida
Implemented in parking garages to keep track of active parking spaces to guide drivers to empty spaces

5. Design iPhone & Android Web App User Web Portal Geo-location via GPS
Calculates current location
Lot/Row & Garage Detection
User Web Portal
Allow users to view parking data
Display Overlaid Google Maps

6. iPhone & Android Web App
Web App vs. Device App
Pros
Easier to distribute to large audience
No need to install
Updates pushed out easily
Cons
Phone sleep issue
Can’t run in background
iPhone kind of does

7. iPhone & Android Web App
Web Geolocation
API specification for Firefox & iPhone Safari
GPS Coordinates
Acquired from
WiFi
Cell Triangulation
GPS
Barycentric Coordinates
Split quadrilateral into two triangles
Used to detect if a point is inside a “square” 1 2

8. iPhone & Android Web App
Parking Lot & Garage Detection
Steps Taken
Located in Garage or Lot
If in a Garage
Record time spent
If in Lot
Detect which row & store time
Error Detection
Only Store Lot/Row & Garage Time
If time spent is longer than 10 seconds
Parking Lot & Garage Detection:
Mention that I gathered GPS information for the points of Lots/Row/Garages from Google Maps
Error Detection:
Mention here that the other reason why you made it 10 seconds, is if someone was flying thru the rows and no looking for a parking space. Like when parking lots are empty, run thru rows.

9. iPhone & Android Web App
Parking Route Storage
Detect when on campus
Stores GPS location every 5 seconds
Does not store when traveling less than 1 MPH
GPS Accuracy
Detection
Only when accuracy is within 5 meters
Garage Issue
When signal is lost
Counters still continue until signal reacquisition
Parking Route Storage:
Mention that the data was getting a little bit to cumbersome

10. iPhone & Android Web App
MySQL Database Storage
When user Parks
Data Uploaded to Server
Time of Day
Total Time of Trip
Lot/Row & Garage Time
GPS Route Info

11. iPhone & Android Web App Demo

13. User Web Portal Server User Interface Apache PHP & MySQL Database
HTML Server
PHP & MySQL Database
Stores time & route info
PHP utilized for MySQL queries & webpage backend
User Interface
HTML/PHP Website
Display Overlaid Lot & Route Google Maps
Displayed at user specific times and day

14. User Web Portal Display Lot/Garage Data Overlay Parking Route
Allow Users to select day and time
Visual understanding of lot/garage usage
Overlay Parking Route
Show most travel paths
Lot Map:
Colors of row in lots are based on ratio of over all time of in the lots. Longer the time in a lot compared to others, becomes red. Lots are part of the average become yellow. Lots that are below the average become green. Garages are on their own time not to cross with lots.
Route Map:
Blue lines represent the actual path taken, and the blue icons represent placed parked.
Both Maps are interactive on Google Maps, Routes showing times of path and time parked. Lots showing which Lot/Row when clicked.
