This is a hassle-free parking app in Darwin, Northern territory, Australia. We are planning to install advanced sensors in the parking bay area which recognises the number plate of each and every single car, the sensors has lights as well with which drivers will know that it has been booked or not, if it is not booked then people can park with the help of the app like they can pay online and even see the nearest parking bay which is free of charge. The project will take a year to finish, and income is expected to be generated within 6 months after the project implementation There are like 15 parking lots, so we are planning to install advanced sensors to detect the cars number plate to see if that car has a ticket or did they pay online, the budget of this project is $50,000 AUD.
