ABSTRACT

The numbers of vehicles are increased in last decades so the problem of parking is also increased as the number
of vehicle increased. There are very few solutions for managing parking areas but most of them are not
sufficient and fail or most of them require a person to manage the space, our approach automates the process
without requiring another person. In our system, for each car has own RFID tag. When an any car enters in
particular society, then first particular RFID code will be scan by using RFID scanner. Then it enters in
parking area.

In this system we use ultra-sonic sensors. These sensors are placed at parking slots. As the name indicates,
ultrasonic sensors measure distance by using ultrasonic waves. An optical sensor has a transmitter and
receiver, whereas an ultrasonic sensor uses a single ultrasonic element for both emission and reception. When
ultrasonic sensor transmit signal if it bounced back it means that that parking slot is not empty thus it will
inform the particular person via android application and if it not bounced back to receiver then it means parking
slot is empty for car parking. for such smart parking system, we developed an android application of smart
parking system. This android application will show which parking slots are empty and which are not empty.
IOT can transmit and receive information over the network for controlling the things with or without human
help. Here information is caught by sensors are transmitted through web. Android application will navigate
the user to reach those available parking slots in particular area. For navigation for user we use Google maps
API for displaying maps.

 1. Introduction

Transportation is one of the well-known problems in metropolitan areas around the world. As revealed by the
Transport Department, the total number of vehicle’s registration keep raising year on year since 2006, with a
latest number of 682,777 total registrations which includes 465,453 registrations for private cars were recorded
on September 2011. On average, it is a very high people per vehicle ratio considering With such a high ratio,
it puts a high pressures and requirements on facilities supporting driver’s daily needs, it brings in a challenging
situation for company to provides a good quality of service to their customers. Although there are many
different kinds of offer provided by car park company to smoothen and relieve this situation, for instance,
different kinds of payment method, park and ride scheme, various award and reward schemes as well as free
parking scheme, it is still not a very satisfactory experience and hard to fulfil driver’s immediate parking
needs.

The traditional parking systems such as multilevel or multi-store car parking systems (non-automated), robot
car parking systems, automated multilevel car parking systems etc. have been implemented on a huge scale.
But these systems have a major disadvantage of large space consumption which is successfully eliminated
with the use of our system which provides real time information about the parking spot available in the area.

1.1 Purpose
• To develop user friendly car parking system this reduces the manpower and traffic congestion.
• To offer safe and secure parking slots within limited area.
• To make remote spot check easier.
• To reduce manpower

• To avoid traffic congestion

1.2 Scope
The main work will begin after analysing the area of parking that is currently available for public parking. In
the analysing phase we will collect most of the data that is required by the parking system. This will also help
in listing out the risks and milestone in our project. Based on the information we get we will be able to agree
on the final scope and dates of the project. After getting all the required data we will first start developing the
user interface of the project as it is the main part as the user will interact using the user interface. After

DMCE
designing the user interface, we will check for integration with the Google maps API and also the raspberry
pi connection to the server. Next step will be working on data transaction between the raspberry pi and the
web server. For that we will use python for raspberry pi, PHP for server and MySQL for data storing. The
final step will be connecting the whole process together including the modules.

The final result will be a system that will provide parking solution which will be more efficient than the current
system in use.

1.3 Constraints

There are very few constraints in the system. The first one is the raspberry pi. There are limited IO ports that
are available on the board of raspberry pi. So if in a particular area if the parking slots are more then we will
need to use multiple raspberry pi and the network connection can be more complex as the number of raspberry
pi increases. This problem can be solved by nesting the connection of the raspberry pi with each other in a
particular topology. Another constraint is about the network connection. The network connection should be
strong enough and widespread to cover almost all the raspberry pi. This can be done by tweaking the
bandwidth or by giving wired connection to the raspberry pi. The last constraint is about the sensor that we
are using. The sensor should be taken care of if hit by something or damaged it will provide false information
which may lead in some great problems

2. Literature Review

We refer IEEE paper of “Smart Parking System using RFID and GSM technology’’ written by
Sarika p s, Sandhya k, Dr.sudha T. from Department of Computer Engineering in Aligarh Muslim
University, Aligarh-India. In this system the smart parking system composed of intelligent sensor
deployed on site and are use to monitor and inform the availability of parking space. the mobile or
internet application can be provided to check the availability of the parking space or availability of
parking slot.

We refer IEEE paper of “Smart Transportation system using IOT” written by Love Kumar,Muneem
Hasan Khan, M. Sarosh Umar from Department of Electronics and Telecommunication in NSS college
of Engineering, Kerala-India. this system can be prevent theft of the vehicle in organization. Cheeks-
in And cheeks-out will be controlled by the software basis of smart card and RFID vehicle tag.
Authorised member will informed in case of any theft activity through SMS and alarm will ring for
security alert

2.2 Existing System:

Various methods are prevalent for development of autonomous or intelligent parking systems. Study of these
systems shows that these require a little or more human intervention for the functioning. One of the intelligent
systems for car parking has been proposed by making use of Image processing. In this system, a brown
rounded image on the parking slot is captured and processed to detect the free parking slot. The information
about the currently available parking slots is displayed on the 7 - segment display. Initially, the image of
parking slots with brown - rounded image is taken. The image is segmented to create binary images. The noise
is removed from this image and the object boundaries are traced. The image detection module determines
which objects are round, by estimating each object’s area and perimeter. Accordingly, the free parking space
is allocated. A vision based car parking system is developed which uses two types of images (positive and
negative) to detect free parking slot. In this method, the object classifier detects the required object within the
input. Positive images contain the images of cars from various angles. Negative images do not contain any
cars in them. The coordinates of parking lots specified are used as input to detect the presence of cars in the
region. Hear - like features are used for feature detection. However, limitations may occur with this system
with respect to the type of camera used. Also, the co-ordinate system used selects specific parking locations
and thus camera has to be at a fixed location. Limited set of positive and negative images may impose
limitations on the system.

3. OVERALL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

3.1 Proposed System

The Smart Parking System contains two modules Automated Parking and Security Base Module. It is
simple parking system which helps to car driver to find the parking slots remotely. A user enters in smart
parking application it shows the current location of the user and available parking area. A user select
particular parking slot then application will provide navigation towards the selected parking slot through
Google maps API. When car is parked, the ultrasonic sensor will provide a signal to a server through
Raspberry pi for availability of parking slots and this updated structure display on application.

DMCE
 In the second module of the project we can use RFID tag and RFID scanner to maintain security
For car parking. It is useful for particular organization. In this module each car have unique RFID tag,
When car is enter in a parking area of particular organisation. The RFID scanner will scan RFID tag if it
doesn’t match the system send message to car owner.

3.2 Methodology:

1. First we get the status of the sensor using the python code on raspberry pi the sensor information is usually

in binary 0 or 1 or sometimes as high and low depending on the sensor that we use.

2. Raspberry pi is the powerhouse of the whole system as it checks the sensor data and sends data back and

forth from the sensor to the server.

3. Server act in between the raspberry pi sensor and the mobile app. Here the main data is stored and then

processed to get results

4. The app is only designed for the clients of the system so that the clients gets the information about the free

parking spots and the direction to go there.

 4. Feasibility Study

4.1 Technical Feasibility:

As compared to other solution proposed online our system is quite easy to implement. The parts that we are
using are easy to get in any hardware store also the raspberry pi that we are using is quite accessible. It can be
bought for any retail electronics store or it can be bought online through stores like Amazon. The difficulty
with such proposed system is that they are using some extra hardware and most of the hardware that they are
using are not suitable for industry use they are preferred for just prototyping. Also we chose to code the
raspberry pi in python, server side part in PHP and app in java android which are very easy and efficient
languages so fixing any broken stuff will be quite easy. There are quite a few technical complexities in the
project and that too can be fixed easily.

4.2 Economic Feasibility:

DMCE
According to economic point of view the main thing is raspberry pi. The cost of a single raspberry pi is around
3000 – 5000 INR so its bit costly but does the work perfectly. We will also need server for deployment of web
API and functions that makes the communication between the app and the raspberry pi sensors. For map in
our project we are using the Google maps API which is the industry standard now a day. The API is usually
free to use but if the amount of request done to Google maps API is more then there will be some restrictions
put on by Google by throttling the performance. Also for server side development we are using PHP which is
free and open source unlike most of the server side language. PHP 7 is developed in such a way that it
consumes less resources as compared to most of the competitors including its own PHP 5. This means the
code execution will be rapid and the resourced consumed will be less which will result in more parallel
execution of the tasks. Also for android app development we are using android studio which is also a free tool
for developing and deploying android apps.

 6. Conclusion

The development of Internet of Things offers ascend to a few new potential outcomes in fields of smart
cities and smart transportation. This system addresses the issues of parking and difficulties in finding better
routes in public transportation systems and proposes an idea of IOT based smart parking system along with
an intelligent signboard. The parking system gives constant information about accessibility of parking slots
and smart signboard which utilizes the advantages of Internet of Things to display useful information about
the place such as different paths to a place, the less congested way. The endeavours made in this system are
planned to enhance the parking facilities of the city and upgrade the personal satisfaction of individuals.
This system is very secure for parking; members do not need to worry about their vehicles and they can
focus on their work.
This proposed system will be helpful to solve the parking problem. The components use in Smart Parking
system used are lower in price which will make the system cost effective, so the maintenance of the system
will be lower in cost and it is easy to repair. Smart Parking System provides more security as raspberry pi
runs on Linux distribution.
