Zone and the Types

A zone in any parking lot is defined by drawing a property line and then outlining a specific area designated as a parking area, which we refer to as a Zone. Zones can be of different types:

1. Spot Tracking Zones:

These are the most common. Within this zone, you draw all the individual parking spots you want to monitor. Each spot is tracked for occupancy.

2. Car Counting Zones:

Recently enhanced, these zones track the overall number of vehicles in the area rather than individual spots. This method provides a broader view of parking lot usage. ROI (Region of Interest) Zone, which leverages the camera’s field of view

These zones are specifically designed for areas where vehicles temporarily stop to pick up or drop off passengers.

Inside a Multilevel Structure

When we began considering multilevel parking structures, we realized we needed to add some new controls. First, upon entering a building structure, users should be able to select which floor they're viewing and switch between floors easily.

The level selector display the alerts happening on different levels in real-time.

Having the levels in a grid format allowed the user to make the decision of which level to enter

SpotGenius, a startup, was originally constructed solely by coders. As the inaugural UX Associate, the task of reworking the UI for improved clarity and to allow for longer numerical values, if necessary, fell to me.

It was essential for us to alternate between floors of the multi-level structure without the need to return and choose a different floor. The conception of controls for the web resembled that of elevator buttons.
