Guiding to available parking spots with AR device

Abstract

Parking congestion has become a pressing issue in urban areas, leading to increased traffic congestion and environmental pollution. This paper presents a comprehensive study on intelligent parking systems aimed at addressing these challenges. The study targets urban drivers, transport authorities and citizens who are affected by parking difficulties and traffic congestion. Intelligent Parking System is a technology-driven solution that aims to optimise parking space utilisation and reduce traffic congestion. It efficiently guides drivers to available parking spaces through real-time data collection and analysis. The study was conducted in Unity3D environment over a period of 2 weeks and covered the phases of system design, development, testing and implementation. The main motivation for this research was to mitigate the negative effects of parking congestion. Intelligent parking systems have the potential to increase traffic efficiency, reduce air pollution and improve the overall quality of life in cities. Server and Unity models were used in the study. Real-time sensors collect parking occupancy data, which is processed to provide real-time parking availability information to drivers via the server. In conclusion, this paper presents an intelligent parking system that can solve the challenges of parking congestion. By utilising server technology and data-driven insights, the project aims to improve the way cities manage parking and contribute to more sustainable urban mobility.
