OVERVIEW

Parking, without the circling.

Spotted is an intelligent parking-garage system that uses sensors to map free spots in real time, surfaces them on a glanceable display on each level, and routes drivers down the shortest path to an available space. No more circling, no more hunting the next floor.

Built in a team for the Smart Cities studio at TU/e — first-year, first taste of designing for systems, not just objects.

A small UX problem can hide a system-sized intervention.
