The project uses a variety of different hardware, with a Linux-based Raspberry Pi as its centerpiece. Click here to learn more about basic configuration, or dive into the gritty, techie bits.
Our software consists of a set of JavaScript and HTML-based static pages being fed by a PHP REST API. Both projects can be served from separate machines, and the logic is completely decoupled.
This is where most of our users will see our project in action. For information about installing and seeing the site, or to learn about the code that makes it all work, go here.
We are using a CodeIgniter-based web server running with the GitHub-hosted codeigniter-restserver. Follow this link to see documentation for the API and get information about the architecture.
Currently two Android applications are in the works. The first will allow users access to all of the information available on the webpage, but in a native phone application which will make it easier for users to access our information. The second application will allow officials to audit and manage their Birdseye installation from the palm of their hands. For more information about where to get the application and how to develop it, visit the Android Applications page.
We are considering also writing an iPhone application. That's as far as we've gotten so far. Stay tuned for more information.
Since our system uses a small amount of low-cost hardware, we need to think extra hard about our algorithm for deciding when a driver has truly parked. This algorithm will eliminate the need for tons of sensors and allow us to work with the bare minimum. For more, visit the algorithms page.
Since No Ctrl is North Central College's Computer Science club, it's only natural that we should want to do some academic things with it like conferences and presentations. That's what this section is for. It's also for information about the project as a whole unit, like research about people who have done similar things.
Ever wonder what other options are out there for parking tracking? Me too. We can find out here.
No Ctrl is planning two different presentations for North Central College's Rall Symposium in 2013. The symposium will be held mid-Spring.
This presentation is all about the algorithm and finding one that works for our applications. Other than that, I don't exactly know what this one will be about. Maybe Justin Scherer or someone else should type a little something about it in the [wiki/Rall-2013-Algorithms-Presentation].
Open source software is nothing new, but open source hardware is. Can it do as much to revolutionize the computing industry as OSS can? Can a reliable and effective solution be built with it at its base? We think yes. Read about our research here.
NCUR is in the distance, but by the time we need to apply for it, our work should be considered deployable and we should have a lot to talk about.
