ParkAdvisor

ParkAdvisor is a smart parking system developed by civil and computational engineers of the Politecnico di Torino in collaboration with the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER), a department of the UC Berkeley directed by the professor Stephen A. Mahin.
The app will guide the driver to an empty parking spot near to his destination, to solve the problem of more than 30% of people driving in urban roads constantly looking for parking.
This urban inefficiency means a proportional increment of traffic jams and air pollution and consequent reduction of air quality.
The reduction of the wasted time in which engines are running (when drivers are looking for parking) is one of the possible solutions to these problems.
