The presence of a car tracking system can solve the problem and thereby improve the shopping experiences of users in that shopping mall. Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) grows rapidly. This leads the IoT platform to more robust that allow the implementation of IoT platform in a more complicated application such as image processing. In this proposed system, the car tracking system is an IoT based platform. This proposed system used a single-board computer, Raspberry Pi to recognize and track the parked car through cameras installed within the car park area. Related departments such as security staff can locate a car in the car park with a proposed system after login car park website with their staff account. QR Code is implemented in this proposed system to ease the user to locate a parked car. They can scan the QR Code printed on the parking ticket to retrieve the result of the parked car location.
