Step-by-Step User Flow Implementation
Geo Location Map & Slot Pinpoint
- Render dark-mode interactive map vector styled with custom parking marker icons (P).
- Fetch user location coordinates and display nearest available parking zones (e.g., Zone B – Slot 42).
- Implement bottom-sheet modal upon slot selection with action button: Confirm Slot & Proceed.
License Plate Scanning (ANPR)
- Activate native device camera overlay with bounding rectangle alignment box.
- Execute edge OCR/ANPR processing to detect license plate text (e.g., KDL 123X).
- Allow manual fallback edit if plate auto-detection confidence score is below 90%.
- Bind selected slot (Zone B – Slot 42) to detected vehicle plate string.
Duration Picker & Instant Payment
- Provide radial time selection dial allowing users to adjust parking duration (e.g., 2 Hours)
- Calculate dynamic parking charge (e.g., KES 300) based on start/end timeframe (13:30 to 15:30).
- Trigger STK Push prompt for regional digital mobile money (e.g., M-Pesa) or credit card checkout.
- Upon payment receipt webhook trigger, mark slot as reserved and issue active digital parking pass.
