The carpark remembers where is your car.
Find Your Car System overview
Parking in a humogous indoor carpark can be a nightmare, especially when you had forgetten where you had parked your car. Through the use of wireless sensors, Find Your Car System pervasively remembers the location of every single car in the carpark. For car owners who just can't remember where they had parked their car, they can access the carpark server through their internet-enabled phones.
The scenario is such that every car has the ability to identify itself to sensors located at the carpark slots. When a car is confirmed to be parked at a carpark slot, the carpark slot sensor will send a notification to the server. The same thing happens when a car leave its carpark slot.
Apart from communicating with the sensors and remembers where the cars are parked at, the server also serve a web application to the internet. The web application allows customers to use their phones or personal computers to find their car back.
