Team addresses student parking stress

College students face pressure from classes, tests, and presentations while searching for spaces. A group of students created a tool to remove the guesswork from finding a lot. The team surveyed campus users and found many struggled with open spaces and regulations.

App uses five years of data

Developers approached the university parking office to obtain historical records for their foundation. The software predicts availability and matches lots to user permits. It also provides information about current closures or changes in rules.
