Parking For All

A community-contributed map-based application where users can locate and add free parking location. It incorporates a voting system to ensure validity of the free parking information.

Comment

Inspiration

This is inspired by other community-contributed application, such as Waze for traffic conditions, police sighting and speed camera location, and a map for public toilets.

What it does

Saves all user added parking location, and shows users confirmed and unconfirmed free parking spots (i.e. whether its validated by multiple users). Deletes it if a threshold of users deemed the information to be false.

How we built it

With AI-driven development, specifically Perplexity and Claude AI for front-end formatting and ideation, the API retrieval, voting logic, and filter system is implemented first. It is then integrated into a dynamic website, with data linking up to an external database.

Challenges we ran into

Scaling issue, revision of the functions of voting system for unconfirmed and confirmed parking spots, and compatibility with mobile website layout.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Completing everything within a two-day period (all of us missed the first day), streamlining productivity with AI-driven code and human validation, and not falling short on the main components of our scope.

What we learned

How to host a dynamic website and connect up a live database, and how to work with geographic API.

What's next for Parking For All

Reinforcing security and user authentication (to ensure there are no bots spamming the site), expanding user capacity to global usage, and add more functionalities (like a date-time log, having saved parking, and external links for direction to the parking spot).
