Intelligent Parking System

Abstract

The searching of parking burns a lot of barrels of the world's oil every day. Car parking problem is a major contributor in congestion of traffic and has been, still a major problem with increasing vehicle size in the luxurious segment and also confines parking spaces in urban cities. The rapid growth in the number of vehicles worldwide is intensifying the problem of the lack of parking space. As the global population continues to urbanize, without a well-planned, convenience-driven retreat from the car, these problems will worsen in many countries. The current unmanaged car parks and transportation facilities make it difficult to accommodate the increasing number of vehicles in a proper, convenient manner so it is necessary to have an efficient and smart parking system. Smart parking management systems are capable of providing extreme level of convenience to the drivers. In this paper, a proposed web App system, named "Park Easy" is based on the usage of smart phones, sensors monitoring techniques with a camera which is used as a sensor to take photos to show the occupancy of cars parks. By implementing this system, the utilization of parking spaces will increase. It allocates available parking space to a given driver to park their vehicle, renew the availability of the parking space when the car leaves and compute the charges due. Smart parking App, "Park Easy", will also enable most important techniques to provide all the possible shortage route for parking from any area of the city mainly, it helps to predict accurately and sense spot/vehicle occupancy in real-time.

Smart parking monitoring software application

“…JSON is a standard format that helps to transmit data between a server and a web application. It is also an alternative to XML [12]. The JSON file was downloaded after the Firebase cloud database was created and added to the mobile application file package and Raspberry Pi development board memory.…”

A Student Smart Parking Solution using Raspberry Pi

“…There are cities that lack the budget to implement an efficient solution. To overcome these problems, as well as to save the fuel they waste, the recommended step is to implement a smart parking system [8] and to improve the awareness of such a solution. Smart Parking is one of the most popular and fastest growing smart city elements across the world.…”

Building the Traffic Flow Network with Taxi GPS Trajectories and Its Application to Identify Urban Congestion Areas for Traffic Planning

“…With the rapid increase in the number of motor vehicles in cities, the problems caused by traffic congestion are becoming increasingly critical. Several researchers have attempted to solve traffic congestion problems by applying intelligent transportation systems [1,2]. In this regard, although intelligent transportation systems cannot fundamentally solve the problem of traffic congestion, they can enhance the traffic efficiency and capacity of the roads through the identification and enhancement of unreasonable traffic modes.…”
