1) Sustainability Problem:
Persistent inefficiency as drivers seeking parking can not be matched with available supply.
However, ICT-based systems connecting users, vehicles (V2X) and infrastructure can increase transportation system efficiency. In this particular case, employing the automated parking sensors on vehicles traversing the city is an innovative way to use the fleet to collect real-time data about available spaces. This obviates the need for parking detection hardware on street lamps or embedded in the pavement.

Week 2 – Comments
I think community based parking is a great idea, especially in busy cities where on average it does take 4.5km or half hour to find a parking space and costs can add up to about $500-$600 per year. Using the Bosch system, drivers can save time and money and be directed to the nearest empty parking space. It is a great idea to have transmitter vehicles and multiple vehicles that take part simultaneously in the search for isolated parking spaces, ultimately finding them more quickly. Data is gathered and sent to the cloud where it is collected, aggregated, and processed further into digital parking maps.
