Parking Navigation for Alleviating Congestion in Multilevel Parking Facility

In this paper, we focus on multilevel parking facilities and propose a navigation system that minimizes the time required for cars to find vacant parking spaces. Parking zones at large parking facilities provide drivers conditions to drivers due to differences in distances from the entrance of the parking facility or to the entrances of the shopping areas. This leads to many cars concentrating at some parking zones while other zones are not occupied. It is not easy for car drivers entering a large parking facility to know which parking zones are vacant. It is fairly common that parking facilities have indicators that show occupancy information to the drivers. However, since these indicators deliver the same information to all drivers, this method tends to make a new congested zone by sending many drivers to that zone. In this paper, we propose a system that provides each driver with a recommended route in the parking facility that minimizes the expected parking time. Our method estimates the occupancy of each zone from the information sensed by the cars that implement the proposed method. This information is collected to a server installed in the facility, and then the server disseminates the processed information to the cars. The cars then calculates the recommended route from this information. We conducted a simulation-based evaluation of the proposed method using a realistic model simulating a real parking facility in Nara. As a result, we confirmed that the proposed method reduced parking waiting time by 20%-70% even with low penetration ratio.

“…Started with the base station (BS) positioning challenge, the optimum position of nodes in a mesh link system has improved to a wireless sensor network topology focused optimization with results ranging from dynamic programming to genetic algorithms [13][14][15] and further towards Tabu search [16,17]. If we focus around the data obtained from the sensors in topography using sight of data broadcast, the work offered is breaking the observed topography into smaller units called cells and then examines how different sensors must be distributed throughout the cells in the most efficient way [18][19][20]. The papers are focused on an experimental explanation using a multi-opinionated evolutionary optimization [21][22][23].…”

Internet Of Things (IoT) is a continually growing area which aids us to unite diverse objects. The proposed system exhibits the universal notion of utilizing cloud-based intellectual automotive car parking facilities in smart cities as a notable implementation of the IoT. Such services demonstrate to be a noteworthy part of the IoT and thus serving users in no small amount due to its pure commerce positioned qualities. Electromagnetic fields are being used by RFID to detect and track tags ascribed to objects automatically. The RFID technology is used in this system along with suitable IoT protocols to evade human interference, which reduces the cost. Information is bartered using readers and tags. RFID and IoT technologies are mainly used to automate the guide systems and make them strong and more accurate. Open Service Gateways can be effectively used for this module. This system established on the consequence of IoT and the purposes are solving the chaos, bewilderment, and extensive backlogs in parking spaces like malls and business parks that are customary as a consequence of the increased use of automobiles. The proposed work aims to solve these problems and offer car drivers a hassle-free and instantaneous car parking experience. While a number of nodes are positioned depends on topographical restrictions, positioning of prominent anchor sensor nodes in the smart parking is a primary factor against which the efficiency and cost of the parking system hang. A Raspberry Pi would act as a mini-computer in our system. A suitable smallest path methodology would be cast-off to obtain the shortest distance between the user and every car park in the system. Hence, the pausing time of the user is decreased. This work furthermore includes the practice of remotely booking of a slot with the collaboration of android application exercising smartphones for the communication between the Smart Parking system and the user.

The main problem in today's crowded parking facility is congestion and finding a vacant parking space. In this paper, a navigation method is proposed that minimizes the parking time, based on collected real-time vacancy information of parking slots. In the proposed method, a central server in the parking facility collects the information (using IR sensors) and estimates the occupancy of each parking slots. Then, the server uses this information collected in real time to calculate the best suitable parking slot for the user upon request. This path is then sent to user's smart-phone as response by the server which will then be displayed on an android application. This leads to the introduction of an eco-friendly payment system (using RFID technology), wherein no use of paper takes place. Automatic deduction of parking charge is taken care of on the server side, from users via RFID account and notification via SMS or Email is generated.
