Project Description
CarPark is an app developed using open data sets supplied by the City of Melbourne to solved the CBD congestion problem by navigating drivers to unoccupied parks to reduce the number of cars on the road while also reducing emissions.
Data Story
Files containing status and location of car parks was manipulated to filter for unoccupied parks and overlay onto a mapping interface. Using the number of occupied parks, peak traffic times were identified for the suggestion of alternative transport methods.
Team DataSets
Off-street car parking 2017 map
Description of Use We used this dataset to determoine the locations of off-street car park locations.
On-street Car Parking Sensor Data - 2017
Description of Use We used this dataset to cross check and determine on-street parking locations.
Parking bay arrivals and departures 2014
Description of Use We used this data to determine times that these parks were considered busy so that our app could recommend public transport to users that were heading to those locations at peak times.
On-street Car Park Bay Restrictions
Description of Use We hoped to use this dataset to determine the parking bay restrictions of the available parks.
On-street Parking Bay Sensors
Description of Use We used this dataset to determine the latitude and longitude coordinates of on-street parking bays and determine whether it is "available" or "occupied".
