| Summary: | This paper proposes a smart parking system to
solve the problem of unnecessary time consumption in finding
parking spot in commercial car park areas. A parking
reservation system is developed in such a way that users book their parking spots through short message services (SMS). The SMS sent will be processed by a wireless communication
instrumentation device called micro-RTU (Remote Terminal
Unit). This micro-RTU will reply the confirmation of booking
by giving the details of reservation like password and lot
number. The password will be used to enter the parking area
and valid for a certain period of time. The system is fully
automated with the use of the Peripheral Interface Controller
(PIC). This microcontroller is capable in storing information of
empty parking spaces, provide passwords as well as allowing or
denying access to the parking area. A prototype of a car park
system has been designed to demonstrate the capability of the
proposed work. The demonstration has proven the capability of
the system to reserve the parking, gain entry to the parking
area and hence eliminates the hassle of searching empty
parking lots. |
