Using HTML5 and JavaScript, we managed to develop a web app which shows all the parking spots in an area using Google Maps SDK. With just a click on a button, the app shows the driving route from your current position to the closest empty parking spot. It will ask for permission to acces your location. If you allow it and then refresh the page, it will work properly.
To determine whether a parking spot is empty or not, we want to use an Arduino with an Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04) which checks if there is anything in front of it at 0.5m. We're puting it near a parking spot and when a car is parked near it, the sensor will change the status of that parking spot in the app. We still have to transfer data from our Arduino to the web app, but we do not have a Wi-Fi module (and all shops were closed :/).
Our team has only 2 members: me (Marc Vana) and my collegue Mihai Marcu. We are both in 10th grade, in highschool, and we are very passionate about programming.
