Abstract –
We offer a system for parking reservations and security in a private car parking field in an urban metropolis.
Our system design is used to eliminate unnecessary time conception to find an empty slot in a car parking
field. By the same sheath, we can also save more than 15 to 255 percent of fuel wastage in a car parking area
to see the empty parking slot. The reservation processes are happening only by the user. Hence the user visit
parking area using an android application through an internet access and find the empty parking slot and a
reserve parking slot as per their preference.Check-ins and check-outs will be handled in a fast manner
without having to stop the cars so that traffic jam problem will be avoided during these processes.. thus
making it convenient for the users to set their own likely parking slot based on the time and cost function.
INTRODUCTION
Present day’s getting a parking space in urban areas is very difficult in peak hours due to lack of parking
spaces. Due to this driver stuck in traffic or looking for parking spaces around the location makes traffic
congestion. This causes waste of money and time. So if we have parking space information, we can plan for
advance booking based on requirement, for that we proposed the research theory of “car parking
management system” using Internet of things. Parking spaces are large in size for airport or multiplexes, so
it’s difficult to maintain system manually.
In urban areas, car parking becomes critical issue with increased amount of cars. A Study showing that
30% of the cars in the traffic jam are looking for parking space and on an average eight minutes’ time
required to find a parking space. This results wastage of oil or gas, money and time. With great revolution
in IOT brings flexibility to the user, it will provide parking availability and maintaining database through
registering users.
Motivation:
Our main motivation to this idea was the unorganize parking management of our university which
causes late arrival at classes. We have to wait in queue in order to enter the parking which is always a
hassle. The problems that we find in our university’s parking are the poor management of the space
and slow process of security clearance at the entrance
In our proposed system these problems are addressed and resolved by integrating IOT’S and RFID for
security and cloud based real time application for managing parking space effectively and efficiently.
Analysis and Discussion
The main challenge in the smart parking development is the analysis of real-time data to make an urgent
action. Enabling smart parking management give benefits to the citizens , such as it helps citizens to save
their fuels by efficiently managing the route to reach the destination, as well as to protect themselves from
theft. Here, we are analyzing various kinds of data and give directions to the user how they can use IoT
technologies and the Big Data generated from IoT for Smart cities and urban planning. We mainly
presented the analysis of vehicular traffic, parking lots but it can also be use for taking steps toward the
smart cities and integrating IOT’s and RFID’s to create a society based on automated systems for citizens.
Methods: To solve those problems, this prototype is developed using sensor circuit, RFID and IoT.
RFID used here to detect the car details,
IR sensor is used to find the presence of the car and all details are accessed from remotely through IoT.
Findings: This system helps user to find parking space availability with the help of Internet of Things (IoT) technology by providing
parking free space information. The IoT maintains the database of the parked vehicles through a shared server. So drivers can book the
slots in advance and the parking information updated in server.
Applications/ Improvements: This prototype developed for the parking system with less human interaction, increases flexibility and
security. This system is employable in airports, multiplexes and confined parkings.
IMPLEMENTATIONS
This system consists of different modules to perform parking management. Those are ‘online booking’, ‘parking entrance
system’, and ‘parking exit system’ and ‘parking management’.
Online Booking
In urban areas finding parking space is difficult in rush hours. So here we developed online booking system by using this
we can book the parking slots in advance like movie tickets booking online. We can book the parking slots by using a
mobile app.
The booking procedure explained in the below flow chart.
Parking Entrance System
This parking entrance system uses IR sensor, DC motor, LCD display and a RFID reader. IR sensor is used to know the
presence of car for parking, DC motor is used to open the barrier, LCD is used to display.The parking information and
RFID reader is used to detect the car details like number plate, owner name etc. If the user booked online his parking
space then gate is opened and can move inside. The LCD displays the allotted parking slot and parking status also. This
allotment details continuously updated to database.
Parking Management System
This part provides directions to the owners to park their car correctly. Here each slot allotted by one IR pair, one RFID
reader, three LEDs. Initially it will check the slot is assigned or not, if it’s assigned then LED green turns ‘ON’. If any car
entered in the parking slot then IR sensor detects, LED red turned ‘ON’ and LED green goes ‘OFF’.
This data continuously updated in database.
Parking Exit System
This parking exit system contains peripherals similar to parking entrance system. If the car left from the parking space
then LED green turned ‘ON’ and at the same time LED red turns ‘OFF’. At exit, the RFID reads the car details and shows the
parking fee. Payment is users choice, he can only pay online . Since we finished the payment then gate opens and the data
all uploaded to server.
USER INTERACTION WITH APPLICATION
Below are the steps that a
driver needs to follow in order to park its car using our
parking system.
Step 1: Insall the smart parking application on your
mobile device.
Step 2: With the help of the mobile app search for a
parking slots.
Step 4: Browse through the various parking slots
available in that parking area.
Step 5: Select a particular parking slot.
Step 6: Select the amount of time (in hours) for which
you would like to park your car for.
Step 7: Pay the parking charges either with your ewallet
or your credit card.
Step 8: Once you have successfully parked your car in
the selected parking slot, confirm your occupancy
using the mobile application.
FUTURE ADVANCEMENT
Following are the aspects which can be improved in both software side and hardware
Platform independence.
Platform can be compiled on a number of different hardware platforms, without platform dependent
configurations
Exchangeability. Components can be exchanged with other implementations without affecting the existing
system. Moreover, both generic components and highly optimized platform-specific components can be
used simultaneously.
Scalability and efficiency.
This research can be improved and many other implementations can be integrated in the existing system
in order to use the system for custom parking and booking management,
Conclusion
The main intention of this research is to develop a smart car parking management system using Internet of Things. IoT is the present
trending area in internet, used to access the information remotely. Present days everybody uses smart phones and internet, so online
booking provided solution to the predicting the parking space issue and user can pay parking fee online. RFID technology is used to
detecting the car identity within fraction of seconds and the main issue of theft recovery is also done. We can send messages through
internet, if we achieved that reduces cost of the hardware.
The parking management provided solution to the perfect parking and reduces man power. This system can be employed
in airports, multiplexes and corporate offices.
