★Current Project Status★ [May 2023]
Due to the time given for the project, the Arduino, web server, and application run independently of each other.
Working Functionality
- The application can show the user’s location, have the user input a destination, and map a route from location to destination.
- The campus map is connected to the app of NMSU.
- Settings is set to change user’s permit type.
- Sensor reads data correctly and sends it to server seperate from app
Future Work
- Switch from a local search on MapKit to a custom annotation search.
- database for campus buildings’ closest parking lots based on permit type
- Map parking lot annotations and reroute polyline to chosen parking lot
- Update real-time for duration to get from user location to destination
- Send notifications to user if closer parking is found if desired
Arduino, WIFI module, and sensor are not compatible with each other for the goals of this project
- If troubleshooting works connect Arduino and web server to communicate with app
- Otherwise research for a more efficient mechanism to detecting open/free parking spots
- If we had the capital, we could have researched into making our own microcontroller design / or also go the route of Raspberry pi
Developers’ Note
Much work/research and time are required for further development of the app. We will continue to work on this app outside of the initial time given, to hopefully succeed in all functional components working.
