AIParksit is a comprehensive geo-spatial parking platform built with modern technologies. This documentation covers all aspects of the system.

Quick Start

System Requirements

• Node.js 18+ or 20+
• PostgreSQL 14+ with PostGIS extension
• Redis 6+
• 4GB RAM minimum (8GB recommended)

The platform follows a modern microservices-inspired architecture with clear separation of concerns.

Key Components

• Backend API: Node.js + Express with REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket
• Frontend: Next.js 14 with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS
• Database: PostgreSQL with PostGIS for spatial queries
• Cache: Redis for session management and caching
• Proxy: Nginx for load balancing and SSL termination

The backend API provides 40+ endpoints across multiple domains.

API Endpoints

PostgreSQL database with PostGIS extension for spatial queries.

Core Tables

• parking_facilities - Operator-managed facilities
• parking_spots - Individual parking spaces
• marketplace_listings - P2P parking listings
• bookings - Reservation records
• reviews - User reviews and ratings
• users - User accounts
• pricing_rules - Dynamic pricing configuration
• predictions - AI occupancy predictions

Spatial Queries

Three core AI-powered features enhance the platform.

1. Smart Matchmaking

Matches drivers with optimal parking spots based on:

• Distance (40% weight)
• Price (30% weight)
• Rating (20% weight)
• Features (10% weight)

✓ 85% match accuracy

2. Dynamic Pricing

Automatically adjusts prices based on:

• Time of day (peak hours +50%)
• Demand level (high +30%, low -10%)
• Day of week (weekends -20%)
• Special events (custom multipliers)

✓ +35% revenue optimization

3. Occupancy Prediction

Forecasts availability for 5-15 minute windows using:

• Historical patterns
• Current occupancy trends
• Time-based analysis
• Confidence scoring

✓ 78% prediction accuracy

Current production deployment on dedicated server with pfSense firewall.

Production Stack

• Server: 10.123.45.22 (private network)
• Firewall: pfSense (63.226.48.138 public IP)
• Proxy: Nginx with SSL/TLS
• Process Manager: PM2
• SSL: Let's Encrypt (auto-renewal)

Deployment Commands

Multi-layered security approach with industry best practices.

Security Measures

• JWT authentication with secure tokens
• SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS only)
• pfSense firewall with NAT
• Rate limiting on API endpoints
• SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries)
• XSS protection headers
• CORS configuration
• Environment variable management
