Parking Layout:
Vehicle types: Car, Motorcycle, SUV, Trucks, Electric Vehicle
Parking Spot: Regular, Electric, Compact, Large, Disabled
Parking floors: Each Parking Lot will have an specific floor and spots amount
The system should be able to accomodate multiple Parking Lots.
Entry and Exit Management
The vehicle should pick up a new ticket on entry, based on the type of vehicle (identified on entry), the vehicle should only be allowed to enter the parking lot if there is an available designated spot that suites the vehicle type.
On exit the ticket has to be paid and will have an expiry time of 15 minutes. After that time the ticket will have to be reset and paid again for the remaining time.
List non-functional requirements for the system...
The initial capacity will be for Parking Lots that can fit up 600 spots spread in the following percentage:
Regular: 55%
Electric: 5%
Compact: 15%
Large: 15%
Disabled: 10%
Define what APIs are expected from the system...
Defining the system data model early on will clarify how data will flow among different components of the system. Also you could draw an ER diagram using the diagramming tool to enhance your design...
You should identify enough components that are needed to solve the actual problem from end to end. Also remember to draw a block diagram using the diagramming tool to augment your design. If you are unfamiliar with the tool, you can simply describe your design to the chat bot and ask it to generate a starter diagram for you to modify...
Explain how the request flows from end to end in your high level design. Also you could draw a sequence diagram using the diagramming tool to enhance your explanation...
Dig deeper into 2-3 components and explain in detail how they work. For example, how well does each component scale? Any relevant algorithm or data structure you like to use for a component? Also you could draw a diagram using the diagramming tool to enhance your design...
Explain any trade offs you have made and why you made certain tech choices...
Try to discuss as many failure scenarios/bottlenecks as possible.
What are some future improvements you would make? How would you mitigate the failure scenario(s) you described above?
