Desenvolvimento de um sistema para auxiliar na busca por vagas de estacionamento privado

Abstract

Traveling to different cities for various reasons, ranging from vacation trips with family, medical appointments, to business travels, often involves the use of personal, rented, or company vehicles. A common need during such journeys is finding a place to park. Traditional parking lot selection typically requires using Google to search, filter, and contact for reservation and information, often without clear knowledge of the exact parking fees and the hassle of reservation processes. This thesis introduces a web-based application designed to streamline the parking experience. Users can automatically and securely reserve parking spots without direct contact with parking facilities. For those not wishing to reserve but seeking cost estimates, the system provides quick quotes, enabling users to find the best-priced parking with optimal services. Additionally, it offers parking facilities improved management of their spaces and a simple financial module for cost management. The system is developed on the Ruby on Rails web framework, utilizing the PostgreSQL database for data storage.
