Inspirations:

Our inspiration for this project comes from the frustration of wasting time circling the car park in search of parking spaces and waiting for cars to leave due to the lack of available lots in HDB car parks.

What does it do?

We decided to create a handy app that reads JSON files and shows HDB car park lot availability and maintenance status level by level, and also its address and hourly rates. Practically, a server from HDB would send this JSON file

How we built it?

This app was built using Unity development tools in the C# language.

Challenges we ran into...

We are unsure if all HDB car parks in Singapore are properly equipped with the technology to be able to transmit such data to the mobile app.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are able to successfully store the status of a car park into a single JSON file, which can easily be transferred and read.

What we learned

As some of us were relatively new to coding, picking up this useful skill was definitely one of the things we learned. In addition, while we were pitching our ideas to one another, we learned to set aside our differences to work together as a team.

What's next for Team49_CarParkViewer

The next logical step would be to add a function for the user to send reports to HDB regarding anomalies in the car park. As HDB is bound to receive millions of data from their car parks, it would defeat the purpose if we do not have an intelligent sorting system to organize the problems in different car parks. Thus, we could potentially add a multiple-choice option for users to report or have residents to log in to their Singpass to filter out spam messages.
