Desired Functions

We've decided to stop working on our demo system at this point and start thinking about the desired functions that can improve our system, because we are going to continue this project in next quarter and possibly into summer.

Here is the desired function at this point:

1. The Admin Page with Handling Ambiguities

Create the admin page that has an access to the database of the each parking lot status and handle the ambiguities that are created by computer vision detection system.

2. The Registered User with Caller ID

First, get the user registered by caller Id and store the preferred parking lot.
Then, give the user an option by pressing 0 to immediately access the information of the preferred parking lot.

3. SMS Base

Create an option to send a text message containing the parking information to the user who registered his or her cell phone number.

4. More Type of Spots

Find a way to handle V(visitor)spots and meter spaces later on.

5. Parking Lots Outside the Main Campus

Find a way to help the user who park outside the campus such as East Parking Lot.

6. GPS Information

Find a way to help the user who has no idea about where the specific parking lot is located. In the future, sending an information to the GPS in car will help a lot.

7. Improvement for Visitors

Now this system is intended for the experienced user who comes to UCSD everyday. The system will also have to account for the visitor who has never come to the UCSD.

8. iPhone Application

iPhone Application will help the user check out all of the nearest parking status.

Serge just suggested to do a literature review on academic or commercial systems for parking space vacancy alerting. It will help us brainstorming for the better functions.

Here are the links provided by Serge. Hopefully we can come up with more functions for the final presentation.
