Great video! I was curious how much it would cost UF to implement this system-the real-time parking spot monitors, the phone app, etc.- and how much the University can get out of it if they implement the system. If it’s too costly, it probably won’t be permitted. Do you know about how the numbers work out? Or maybe figure out how long the average student spends trying to find parking and multiply that by the number of students parking to get the hours wasted which your system can now eliminate. This could also be an amazing idea for shopping malls and high population density areas.
Hi Haley! Your video was very well-scripted, and I could tell you were prepared. I've already seen these parking displays implemented in malls across my hometown of south Florida, however, the idea of a smartphone app to connect with it is a genius idea. In the displays I've seen, an LED board displays the number of spots available, then drivers must drive through lanes that have individual green/red lights indicating whether spots are open. More efficient parking will translate in higher customer turnover in areas, as people will have more and more time to shop. I think this is a great idea.
