This master’s thesis focuses on a real time information collection and monitory system. The aim is to show and provide information on available car parking slots in Tampere region. This study proposes that real time information and monitory system can be achieved by utilizing Finnpark API.
Contemporary urban rising is witnessing huge traffic as more vehicles are on the road on a daily basis. According to Statistics Finland, over 5,045,365 cars were in traffic use in 2017. The primary purpose is to ease movement of persons, goods and services from one point to another. These movements often create significant challenges such as road congestion, for all road users. In addition to road congestion, finding parking spaces in public car parks is a challenge for car owners.
Oftentimes, vehicle owners are fined for parking in unauthorized places or even on the road side thereby causing traffic gridlock for other road users.
