GoPark

Inspiration

Finding a parking space in busy areas is often frustrating, time-consuming, and inefficient. Drivers spend valuable time searching for available spots, which increases traffic congestion and fuel consumption. We wanted to create a smarter and more efficient parking solution using Computer Vision and AI. The idea behind GoPark was to automate parking space monitoring, provide real-time parking availability information, and improve the overall parking experience for both drivers and parking operators. By combining technology with a real-world problem, we aimed to build a solution that makes urban parking more convenient, organized, and sustainable and I am from delhi, here we face peak traffic almost everyday

What it does

GoPark is a smart parking management system that helps users find and monitor parking spaces efficiently. The system detects available parking slots, tracks occupancy, and provides a user-friendly interface for parking management. It reduces congestion, saves time, and improves the overall parking experience.

How we built it

• Python for backend development
• OpenCV and Computer Vision for parking slot detection
• YOLO for vehicle detection and monitoring
• Flask for the web application backend
• HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend interface
• Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration

Challenges we ran into

• Accurately detecting vehicles under different lighting conditions
• Handling occlusions and overlapping vehicles
• Integrating computer vision models with the web application
• Optimizing performance for faster real-time detection

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Successfully developed a working smart parking prototype
• Integrated Computer Vision and YOLO for automated parking monitoring
• Created an intuitive user interface for parking management
• Demonstrated a practical solution to a real-world urban problem

What we learned

• Real-world implementation of Computer Vision and YOLO
• Model integration with Flask applications
• Image processing and object detection techniques
• End-to-end project development and deployment workflows
• Team collaboration and problem-solving during development

What's next for GoPark

• Real-time parking reservation functionality
• Mobile application development
• Cloud deployment for scalability
• Live CCTV camera integration
• Analytics dashboard for parking utilization insights
• Smart payment and booking system integration
