Title: A Study on Smart Park System Mobile Applications Retrievable by The Users Over Google Play Store

Abstract: In this study, the Android-based-mobile applications which are classified as smart park system and retrievable by the user over Google Play store were investigated. Firstly, 66 unique relevant-applicationcandidates were retrieved with six queries ran on Google Play store. Afterwards, by doing examinations, nine unique smartpark-system-classified relevant applications were determined from the relevant-application-candidates and these were evaluated as well as discussed. "RTA Dubai" is the most downloaded application and besides is the most up-to-date application along "Zenpark rézerves un parking". When only the smart-park-system-oriented applications are considered, "Zenpark rézerves un parking" is being the most downloaded as well as the most up-to-date application. Also, "Voicepark" application comes forward as the one which covers the most number of functions. This study that no likewise was encountered in the literature, could contribute researcher, the user or developer.

Başlık: Google Play Mağazası Üzerinden Kullanıcının Erişebildiği Akıllı Park Sistemi Mobil Uygulamaları Üzerine Bir Çalışma

Özet: Bu çalışmada, Google Play mağazası üzerinden kullanıcının erişebildiği akıllı park sistemi sınıfına giren Android tabanlı mobil uygulamalar araştırılmıştır. Öncelikle, Google Play mağazası üzerinde altı sorgu çalıştırılarak 66 tekil ilgili uygulama adayına erişilmiştir. Daha sonra, incelemeler yapılarak bu ilgili uygulama adayları içerisinden dokuz tekil akıllı park sistemi sınıfına giren ilgili uygulama belirlenmiş ve değerlendirilip tartışılmıştır. "RTA Dubai", en yüksek indirilmeye sahip uygulamadır ve ayrıca "Zenpark rézerves un parking" ile birlikte en güncel uygulamadır. "Zenpark rézerves un parking", sadece akıllı park sistemi odaklı uygulamalar göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, indirilme sayısı bakımından da ilk sırada yer almaktadır. "Voicepark" uygulaması da en fazla işlevi barındıran uygulama olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Literatürde benzerine rastlanmayan bu çalışma, araştırmacıya, kullanıcıya veya geliştiriciye katkı sağlayabilir bir çalışmadır.
