Welcome to the Smart Parking App project on GitHub! This project aims to revolutionize the way we experience urban parking by providing a user-friendly mobile app and a powerful web portal for efficient parking management. Below, you'll find a detailed README to help you understand the project's goals, features, and how to get started.

Project Overview

Problem Statement

Parking in urban areas can be a time-consuming and frustrating experience, often leading to wasted time and fuel. This project addresses these issues by providing a comprehensive solution for both users and parking authorities.

Solution

Our solution consists of a user-friendly mobile app and a web portal that offers the following key features:

1	**User-Friendly Mobile App:**

• An intuitive interface for a seamless user experience.
• Real-time parking space occupancy detection using ALPR (Automatic License Plate Recognition) cameras.
• Integration with the Google Maps API for finding parking spaces near the user's current location or a specific destination.
• Reservation of parking spots with dynamic pricing considerations.
• Interactive map with available spots in green and full spots in red.
• Turn-by-turn navigation to guide users to their chosen parking space.
• Algorithm-driven parking pricing adjustments based on demand, time of day, and location.
• Transparent display of current parking fares for each spot.
• Integration with a secure payment gateway for reservations and payments through UPI.
• Automatic fare deduction from Fasttag accounts using ALPR technology if a slot is not booked.

2. Web Portal for Parking Authorities:

   • Real-time monitoring of parking space occupancy.
   • Tracking of parking violations.
   • Generation of comprehensive reports for data-driven decisions.
   • Tools for adjusting parking pricing and policies as needed.

3. Scalability and Expansion:

   • The project is designed with scalability in mind to accommodate more parking spaces and users over time.
   • There's potential for expansion to other cities or regions as the app proves successful.

4. Feedback and Issues:

   • We welcome feedback and bug reports. Please use the Issues tab on GitHub to report any problems or suggest enhancements.

5. License:

   • This project is licensed under the MIT License. See the LICENSE file for details.

Future Development

We are continually working to enhance this project. Some potential future developments include:

●	Enhancing the algorithm for parking pricing optimization.
●	Implementing additional payment methods.
●	Improving user behaviour analysis to further enhance the app's features.
