ParkMe - Smart Parking Solution
The idea is to build an app that would help vehicle owners to quickly book nearby available parking lot with advance booking utility by helping them to find nearby parking lots with shortest directions
A usual problem in big cities is to find where to park and how much to pay for it. In India is no different, we can use map apps, but that doesn’t make sure to quality and availability, that’s why I try to find a away to solve this problem in this study case.
I’ll describe some techniques that I’ve used, like: target audience research, persona creation, interface design and prototyping.
