Project Description
 
In Mexico and Latin America people do not respect disabled parking spaces. Social Media in Mexico is full of videos of people who don't respect these places and yet get upset when someone tells them. Everyone thinks for a moment nothing happens and just park or block these reserved spaces; there's a serious lack of awareness because nobody is put in the place of another.
 
Handy Park is the first device to take care of parking spaces for disabled people in public areas. It was placed in universities and shopping malls in Morelia City. 
 
It has a proximity sensor which detects when a car approaches the parking space, and activates a camera which scans the license plates and recognizes if a disability symbol is on them. If so, the car is welcomed to park, otherwise, Handy Park uses an alert to ask the driver to look for another parking space.
 
If the driver stays there, Handy Park, that is connected to the data base of the local Transit Department, sends a notification and a traffic ticket is printed immediately.
