Build a Vehicle Parking Finder App
Create a smart mobile app that helps users find nearby available parking spaces, view prices, and reserve spots in real time—a practical and location-based app development project.Parking is a major pain point in urban areas. This app development project gives you hands-on experience with geolocation, real-time sensor or database syncing, UI mapping components, and reservation systems—ideal for smart city solutions and location-aware development.
The app allows users to view available parking lots nearby, check availability and pricing, book a spot, and navigate to it using GPS. Admins or IoT sensors can update space status in real time for accuracy.
Real-Time Availability Map
Display a map view of available parking spots with live availability status and details like distance, cost, and type.
Booking and Reservation System
Let users reserve a spot in advance and optionally pay via in-app payment gateway.
Navigation to Parking Spot
Provide route guidance from the user's current location to the reserved parking area using GPS integration.
Parking History and Receipts
Track previous reservations, show receipts, and optionally rate the parking experience.
The app accesses the user's location and shows a map with nearby parking options. Users can filter by availability, price, or type. Once selected, they can reserve and navigate to the spot. Real-time updates ensure the info is accurate and reliable.
- User opens the app and views available spots around them on a map interface.
- Filters can be applied for location, parking type (open, covered), or hourly rates.
- User selects a spot, checks live availability, and reserves it (if enabled).
- Navigation to the selected location is initiated using in-app GPS routing.
- After parking, the app logs the session and provides payment details or ratings (if implemented).
Frontend
Flutter or React Native with Google Maps SDK or Mapbox integration, booking forms, and real-time UI components.
Backend
Node.js + MongoDB or Firebase for managing user bookings, spot data, and real-time status updates.
Geolocation & Navigation
Google Maps Directions API or Mapbox Navigation SDK for route generation.
IoT/Real-Time Integration
Firebase Realtime DB, MQTT, or sensor APIs (if integrated with physical parking systems).
1. Set Up Maps and Location Services
Use Google Maps or Mapbox to display the user's current location and nearby parking spots.
2. Build Live Availability System
Create a backend for updating space status manually or via IoT sensor data stream (mock or real).
3. Develop Booking & Payment Flow
Allow users to select, reserve, and pay for spots securely using Razorpay or Stripe.
4. Add Navigation and Ratings
Enable route generation to the parking spot and allow users to leave feedback after use.
5. Admin Panel for Spot Management
Create a lightweight dashboard for spot owners to update availability, pricing, or close bookings.
