Valet Parking: The App
Imagine entering your office address and a price range into a GPS or mobile device just before your morning commute, and getting directions to the appropriately priced parking spot closest to your office, reserved just for you.
That “smart parking” scenario may be just a click away, thanks to the efforts of Christos Cassandras, a College of Engineering professor of electrical and computer engineering and of systems engineering, and graduate student Yanfeng Geng (ENG’13). In early August, the research team completed its first live test of a preliminary version of a smart parking system in the lower level of the garage at 730 Commonwealth Ave.
