Abstract

In 2017, US motorists spent an average of 17 hours a year attempting to find parking after reaching their destination. In wasted time, fuel, and emissions this costed an estimated $345 per driver over the course of the year. The amount of time spent looking for parking is expected to increase as more Americans begin driving. SpotCheck is an end-to-end solution to provide mobile users the ability to quickly and reliably find parking wherever they are. Using machine learning to process images from cameras arrays stationed around local parking lots, our application suite determines where open parking is, so you don't have to. Our applications allow users to quickly identify and get directions to the closest open parking spaces without the hassle. Parking lot information can be easily managed using our admin web application, allowing parking lot owners to easily make changes that are immediately available to SpotCheck users.
