Development of a Real-Time Truck Parking and Routing Mobile Application

The client faces inefficiencies in route planning and parking management for long-haul truck drivers, leading to delays, safety issues, and supply chain disruptions. Current systems cannot efficiently process large datasets for real-time parking availability and route adjustments, especially across extensive routes with over 10,000 parking locations. There is a need for a scalable solution that enables drivers to build optimal routes and locate nearby parking with necessary amenities, significantly reducing search times and improving safety and compliance.

A technology-driven logistics or freight transportation company seeking to optimize route planning and parking management for truck drivers across extensive regional networks.

• Develop a mobile application that allows truck drivers to plan routes from origin to destination based on schedule requirements.
• Implement real-time search for parking locations within a defined radius along the route, with results delivered in under 10 seconds.
• Enable estimation of parking occupancy and availability of amenities such as shops, fuel stations, hotels, and restrooms.
• Reduce system load and prevent timeout errors when processing large volumes of route and location data.
• Facilitate quick integration with existing external APIs for route data and parking information to streamline development and deployment.
• Support scalability to incorporate 10,000+ parking locations across multiple regions.

• Route construction from point A to point B considering remaining drive and break times.
• Real-time parking lot search within a 3 km radius along the planned route, delivering results in under 10 seconds.
• Occupancy estimation and probability indicators for reaching parking lots within specified time frames.
• Detailed parking information, including capacity, available services, and location specifics.
• Map visualization with separate pins for each parking lot to distinguish individual locations.
• Automated API integration for route and parking data retrieval, reducing manual efforts.
• Limiting search radius dynamically to optimize load and improve response times.

• Route data API for real-time navigation and planning
• Parking location data API with occupancy and amenity details
• Mapping services for visual route and parking display

• High scalability to handle 10,000+ parking locations
• Search response time under 10 seconds for real-time parking availability
• System robustness to prevent timeout errors under large data loads
• Secure API integration and data protection compliant with relevant standards
• Mobile app usability optimized for drivers operating in diverse environments

The implementation of this mobile solution will enable truck drivers to efficiently build optimal routes, access real-time parking information, and reduce search times to under 10 seconds. This will lead to improved safety, compliance with rest regulations, minimized deviations from planned routes, and decreased risk of accidents. The system’s scalability and performance enhancements are expected to support the client's expansion into the EU market, facilitate quick funding and investor confidence, and contribute to a more reliable and efficient logistics operation across over 10,000 parking locations.
