Challenges
- To have an inbuilt parking spot locator for the motorists that is much accurate, easy to locate, and track the nearby parking locations is pretty challenging.
- Another challenge with this kind of parking app development is to provide and also maintain the quality of services on the app.
- It’s difficult to come up with a reasonable pricing policy that takes care of the interest of the renter of the parking space as well as the motorist.
In many cases, the motorists have to prepay the parking charges for the maximum amount of time the cars are to be parked.
They end up paying for the hours they haven’t used the parking spot. To derive a reasonable pricing outlay that best suits the renter and motorists is a challenge.
- Another challenge is to avoid complexities in parking spaces for commercial vehicles or private vehicles that sometimes end up causing a block in the travel lanes.
- One of the biggest challenges is to prevent overspill parking. Meaning, the available parking spot can be unsuitable, insufficient or even expensive for the motorists.
