SMART PARKING SYSTEM

ABSTRACT

Wireless sensor network(WSN) is very evident in the current research and development
literature in terms of smart cities where the various applications are integrated together
with the help of the improved technology. Nowadays, with the increased population in
the cities, car park has become a major issue. This issue can be overcome by the modern
technology. In the context, an android application is developed for smart car parking. In
this android application, slots can be booked for parking the vehicle. Booking can be
done in three ways as Current booking, Advanced booking and Direct booking.

EXISTING SYSTEM

Number Plate Recognition technique for developing autonomous car parking system uses
image processing basis to process the number plates of the vehicles. In this system, the
image of the license plate number of the vehicle is acquired. It is further segmented to
obtain individual characters in the number plate. Ultrasonic sensors are used to detect
free-parking slots. Then the images of number plate are taken and analyzed.
Simultaneously, the current timing is noted so as to calculate the parking fees. The LCD
displays ‘FULL’ sign to indicate that a parking slot is not available. However, some
limitations with the system include background color being compulsorily black and
character color white. Also, analysis is limited to number plates with just one row.

DISADVANTAGE OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

 Not fully automated

 Access control is limited

PROPOSED SYSTEM

The proposed system presents a miniature model of an automated car parking system
that can regulate and manage the number of cars that can be parked in a given space at
any given time based on the availability of the parking spot. This system contains two
phases Android implementation and Embedded Hardware implementation. In this
android application, slots can be booked for parking the vehicle. Booking can be done in
three ways as Current booking, Advanced booking and Direct booking. Online payment
can be done for the booked slots using the android application. There is an RFID (Radio-
frequency Identifier) that is used for confirming that the booked vehicle has arrived in the
particular slot. Radio frequency identification (RFID) uses the electromagnetic fields to
transfer data automatically by identifying and tracking the attached objects. The IR
sensors are used to detect the availability of the slots.

ADVANTAGE OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM

 Fully automated

 Easy to Maintain

 Web based access is possible

APPLICATION

 Road transport

 Shopping complex
