Every corner of the city is playing out the same scene—circling around to find a parking spot. Cars crawl slowly on the streets, and drivers scan the roadside, hoping to spot an empty parking space. This is not just a matter of wasting gasoline, but also a drain on time, patience, and mental state.

Have you ever wondered how many cars are just wandering around looking for a parking spot? These vehicles circling through the city's arteries directly increase traffic congestion and also worsen air pollution.

The APRO project addresses this pain point—by providing real-time updates on parking space data, allowing drivers to accurately locate available parking nearby. No more relying on luck to wander the streets, no more guesswork—just making the best choice based on real-time information.

This data transparency approach may seem simple, but its impact on improving urban traffic flow and driving experience is significant. When every driver can quickly find a parking spot, it not only reduces individual time costs but also alleviates overall city congestion. That’s why many smart city projects are exploring similar solutions—improving parking efficiency essentially enhances city management efficiency.
