This presentation is from - C-DAC Hyderabad Team --- 1. SPARK operates by monitoring the availability of car parking spaces and makes that information available to customers and facility administrators. 2. Customers use it for guiding them in their choice of parking space and administrators use it to aid in overall parking management & planning. 3. Sensor networks are a natural candidate for car-park management systems, because they allow status to be monitored very accurately - for each parking space, if desired. Wireless sensor networks have the advantage that they can be deployed in existing car parks without having to install new cabling for network and electricity to reach each sensing device. for further information please visit - www.ubicomp.in/spark

2. Problem Statement
No Parking: The sign of a new opening
The business of parking lots could grow into a Rs 5,500 crore per year
opportunity by 2010
“It is roughly estimated that out of 8760 hours in a year, on an average, a
car runs for only 400 hours or so, leaving the remaining 95% of its time in
parking.”
