-Is parking on campus still a problem for you?
-Are you sick of being a parking vulture* on campus?
-Do you always find yourself searching for parking at the
most hectic times?
-Are you worried about tackling this obstacle again next
semester and subsequent semesters for the rest of your time UMBC?
If you answered “Yes” to any of the questions above, then
here is a solution for you! Introducing, the BASE APP, an app created
by UMBC’s very own Mr. Yaffet Meshesha!
Yaffet is a Computer Engineering major here who is
developing his very own app to address the issues with finding parking spaces. His
idea involves creating a sensor that would transmit info from a parking space to
an app on your smartphone. This lets you know if there are any open parking spots
nearby. Such a device would definitely alleviate the stress associated with
parking. Finding parking at UMBC has been the bane of existence
for many commuter retrievers, including Yaffet and myself! Yaffet has spent a great
deal of time researching sensor technology and applying the programming and
hardware experience he has gained into creating this masterpiece, all while
juggling his classes at the same time. Although he has a lot of work left to
do, Yaffet is working hard to make his business legit as he meets with
potential clients, who are interested in implementing his product in places
like airport garages and even other universities!
So why not introduce this idea right here at UMBC?
Let us know in the comments below if you would be interested
in seeing this potential solution carried out in the near future! Also, help support the ambition of one of our fellow retrievers by checking out this awesome video and info about the Base
App from the website below:
