A UTEP engineering project says it turns existing lot-camera footage into a live map of open and occupied parking bays.

UTEP campus drivers and parking operations
Worth noticing
The portal reports three cameras and a live status; Sprint 2’s business case, estimates, and ROI are still marked “Coming soon.”

Field notes

The portal lays out an auditable semester sequence: Sprint 1 includes market research, strategy, a charter, and a retrospective, with PDFs linked on-page. Sprint 2’s business case, estimates, and ROI are labeled coming soon. The homepage reports three cameras and a live status; the supplied material gives no model, accuracy, or occupancy-validation details, so the technical claim is documented as a pilot rather than independently substantiated.
