Introduction
A common problem in most of the big and growing cities nowadays is the
growing number of private vehicles which has been increasing exponentially
with the growing affordability of the middle class and upper middle-class
population. But the deeper problem arises due to the lack of parking places
available in the business districts, commercial areas. This has, in turn, lead to
parking of the vehicles on the road-sides during the day time due to
unavailability of the parking lots, adding on to the traffic woes that has
already been prevailing.
For a city like Mumbai, it has the current capacity to accommodate day
parking for only 3.3 lakh of the 22 lakh four-wheelers that are registered and
ply in the city, according to the Mumbai traffic police. But having delved
deeper into the matter we observed that there still were many parking lots
that were under-utilized, mostly because people were unaware about these
locations.
So we have come up with a business model of utilisation of all the parking
zones/lots available, mainly using the location-based technology, formulating
a win-win situation for both the user and the service provider. The solution
formulated will be called AI Parking System The basic objectives of the
application will be to:
1. Help the drivers/users to locate parking spaces
2. Housing societies being able to let out the unused parking lots during
office hours
3. Autonomous technologies to help the drivers let the cars drive up to
the identified parking location, and also drive back to the driver/user
4. Driver's safety using inbuilt breath analyser system.
5. Inbuilt analytics system which provides parking lot guidance to the
driver

Solution
Mobile App
The problem of getting a parking spot and also to tackle the issue of road
congestion due to the unmanaged method of parking on the roads in the
daytime can be fixed by our proposed business model. The system will assist
the drivers to get a parking spot by using the GPS system in the closed
vicinity where the driver is. Also, he/she can look for a parking lot in advance
near the destination where he/she is driving up to by feeding in the location
details in the app in a similar way. The app would also have an option of
letting the user determine the radius from his destination in which he wants

Page | 1 AI Parking System

to find the parking. For eg, if the user wants to find parking in 3 km radius
from his destination, he can set destination and then radius as 3 Km. The
pricing would be differential, more the distance from the destination towards
the parking lot, lesser the price. This would give the option to the user of
paying the price where he is comfortable.

Autonomous car parking system

After the exact parking lot has been identified, once the user drives up to the
entrance, the system will activate the autonomous drive mode. The driver
can then get off from the car, and the car will drive on to an empty parking
location and park itself and notify the user via the Mobile app that the car
has been parked successfully along with location sent to his phone using
google now. The routing and parking will be done using google maps,
cameras and IOT devices integrated with the car's system. Once the user
needs to get his car back, he/she could either use his Mobile app to trace out
the car in the parking lot or activate the autonomous drive mode to let the
car drive itself to him/her.
Smart Breath Analyser
As part of the system, the cars will also be equipped with a breath analyser
system (IOT). It will analyse the driver once he boards the vehicle and
detects alcohol consumption. In the advent of detection of alcohol
consumption, the autonomous driving mode will be activated and a distress
signal would be sent to the emergency contacts of the user. Additional
fatigue detection system can be added to avoid accidents when the driver is
tired and loses control of wheels.
Analytics
The information collected from users parking pattern, radius, parking
availability from various lots, money spent on parking will be analysed using
Google analytics and it would be used for predicting future parking locations
by way of auto-completing or suggestions being provided to the user.
Location based advertising will help in generating revenue for the app
developers.
Technologies to be used
The technologies to be used for the system are as follows:

 1. Google maps API to integrate with the app for locating the parking lots
2. Internet of Things Sensors in the car to assist with
a. Driverless modes,
b. Sending data to the user and emergency contacts in crisis.
3. Amazon Elastic Cloud Instances for scalability
4. Amazon Cloud for hosting the web page
5. Google Analytics for
a. Understanding user behaviour
b. Advertising
c. Usage with other apps
6. Payment Gateway, SMS Gateway, Email Gateway
7. Smart Billing system using Cashless methods and RFID tags/smart
cards.

Revenue
Model
The unused parking lots
in the commercial
places and the residential

would now be utilised

and revenue will be

collected. However, there is a setup with identifying all the potential parking
zones as part of the Municipal Corporation of the city. So a cut of 10% of the

revenue will be forwarded to the corporation. Along with this app integration
with other apps like Bookmyshow,Zoomcar etc can open new revenue
streams.

Value Addition
Reduced Traffic Jams & Time savings
The traffic jams happening due to cars parked on the roadsides could be
reduced to great extent. The customers could save a great deal of time spent
in parking the cars by deploying the driverless mode. Congestion free roads
will reduce the travel time within the city which will lead to more business
activity and time savings for everyone. This, in turn, helps the economy

Revenue for Government & Residential societies

The residential building owners could gain revenue by renting out their
parking places to the public during the office hours of the day

Driver safety
Because of the systems of autonomous drive, breath analysing system and
fatigue recognition system, driver safety remains one of the top priorities in
this model. An emergency contact system in-built in the app would send
alerts to the near and dear ones of driver during emergency
