Parking Management System: A Review

Abstract

In today?s transport related concerns, vehicle parking has become a major issue in urban areas. Lack of parking facilities and increased amount of vehicles, due to this, drivers who are searching for parking space keep roaming around the city in peak hours. This causes traffic, waste of time and money. To solve these problems, a Smart Parking Management System can be designed. Earlier many efforts were done on it, to reduce these problems, such as by presenting drivers with real-time description about vacancy of parking slots through the mobile application. To sense car and analyse the count of vacant slots, Ultrasonic sensors and Raspberry pi were castoff at the entrance of parking areas. Also there was an effort to activate an idea which uses the video surveillance camera for tracking those vacant locations, also Matrix Laboratory(MATLAB) to practice the computer vision techniques like background deletion and addition for the update of vacancy and occupancy of spots. Sensor circuits were also designed, which includes Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) tag, a mode of digital payment and a different theft management feature. A smart parking system was also designed which was grounded on the amalgamation of the technologies of Ultra High Frequency(UHF), RFID and Wireless Sensor Network, for the same purpose desired. A parking system was also developed for motorcycles as those are the majority mode of transportation in Taiwan, which includes management system that was based on the wide concept of RFID system, Visual Basic (VB) language and My Structured Query Language(MySQL) system. Likewise, a model came up with the concept of Internet of Things(IoT) and theft management facility, a sensor circuit and RFID tag. It could be accessed and monitored remotely through the application.
