Abstract

This chapter concentrates on topic of intelligent helper for parking for mobile devices that are connected to internet and contain the GPS module. The helper focuses on the navigation of the user to the last known location of the vehicle, but also on the prediction and visualization of a possibly empty parking space at a given time. The assistant collects data about parking and processes them further. In this way, the application is able to recognize spaces where the user parks more commonly. After some time, it is also capable of predicting the area, where a free space could be found at a specific time. This area is then suitably visualized. Within this project, an application that contains parts of the described functionalities was created. It runs on the Google Android platform. Some suggestions mentioned in this chapter are currently only theoretical and can be further developed in the future research on this topic.
