Park Oswe-Go
Parking Assistant App for SUNY Oswego
Task
For this project I worked as part of a group with two other students. We were given 5 hours to design a mobile application. Part of the process included creating and testing prototypes to improve the design and make the application as user friendly as possible. The mobile application we designed was a parking assistant for SUNY Oswego's staff and students. Users would be able to create an account with their school ID, enabling them to reserve parking spots and purchase parking passes. The application would also have a premium service with a valet feature. In addition, we envisioned that with the implementation of RFID Chips in parking lots available parking spots could be tracked and continuously updated for the users to view and reserve.
The Take-Away
This project taught me how to work efficiently within time constraints. As a group we assigned each other tasks in order to make the most of our time.
This is the prototype home page for the application. From here users are able to create an account and sign in. We pitched this page to students and faculty for feedback on the concept.
After polling students and faculty we were able to determine that these three features were the most desired out of the ten that we originally pitched.
This is the prototype for reserving a spot. Users would be able to click on an available spot on the map and reserve it.
This is the prototype for the checkout page. We made the cost and parking spot location large so it would be the main focus of the user and avoid confusion when parking.
