Driving to Orchard Road to catch a Saturday night movie - only to
find the carpark is full. It's an all-too-familiar scenario for
motorists here.
However, a smartphone application is being developed to help
drivers anticipate just that situation and direct them to
alternative parking spots.
Smart City Parking is being developed jointly by researchers from
automotive supplier Continental, A*Star's Institute for Infocomm
Research and the Technical University of Munich's Create centre
here (TUM-Create).
"If you are heading to the city, it's hard to know if there are
available lots," said TUM-Create researcher Daniel Zehe.
