PARKIN

We have all been in situations where we need to find a spot for our car in a busy parking lot. Sometimes, specially in busy shopping centers, it takes so long to find a spot that people become frustrated and tired and end up leaving without ever actually going to their destination.

Design Problem

"Do you face difficulty in finding your car in parking lot?"

The problem that users are left facing with is most of the time the numbers aren’t accurate and also don’t offer the exact direction on where to go.

User Research

A common solution in many crowded cities is to place monitors in the parking lots to announce the number of available parking spots on each floor.

The problem that users are left facing is most of the time the numbers aren’t accurate and also don’t offer the exact direction on where to go. Thus people have to search for available spots that might have already been taken by another driver, easily wasting people’s time. ParkIn seeks to address these problems in a way that satisfies the client and has a good design sense.

The main idea of ParkIn is to save people time and energy by focusing on providing all of the necessary information for drivers, such as the number of nearest available spots on each level, the chance of reaching the spot, the price, and the car location.

Brainstorming

To provide information regarding the spots like how many spots are available, where are the nearest spots, and what is the user’s chance to reach the empty spot based on the distance, time and parking traffic. And to navigate users to the available spot by giving them the exact directions to it. ParkIn has provided the “location” function that users can have access to their car location, therefore they don’t need to search for their car and avoid losing their car.
