Vehicle Parking System IOT Project

 

Objective

To develop a vehicle parking system based on Internet of Things (IoT) using Raspberry efficiently parking the vehicles.

Project Overview

Nowadays, Internet of things is the latest and evolving hot technology. It can be used to connect surrounding things to a network system and communicating and sharing the things with each other. It reduces the human intervention and automating the process. Nearly more than 50% of world’s population lives in cities. In recent years, the usage of vehicle increases and growing in rapid rate. During the parking of the vehicle, people find difficulties. It takes time and increases fuel usage. It creates congestion and traffic. This happens due to the lack of good vehicle parking system.

Population of the world increasing rapidly. People from rural areas switching to cities for employment and other reasons. Number of vehicle usage is growing at enormous speed. So, it causes issues in parking in many ways. It leads to traffic, accident and so on. If you visit the public places such as hotels, multiplex, shopping malls, you will be frustrated with parking issues. One of the research study says that a driver takes nearly minimum of 5 minutes on an average to park the vehicle. So it is necessary to create a good parking facility in the cities to avoid frustrations, traffics and accidents.

Existing System

Existing Vehicle Parking System provides Bluetooth device and finds a slot in the parking place. The information about the parking area, only available within the Bluetooth range. So new system which covers large distance need to be developed to improve the parking facility.

Proposed System

The proposed Vehicle Parking System architecture is shown in following figure.

The proposed Vehicle Parking System IoT based vehicle parking system focuses on automating the process with good efficiency. This parking system provided solution to the parking issues and also reduces human work and manual work. This system can be implemented in cities, airports, large shops, multiplexes and institutions.

Working Principle

• User needs to register the vehicle details through mobile app. This information will be stored in the server. It can be used to track the user, in case of any policy breaks. Once the entire registration is completed, user can check the free parking area and he/she can use those facilities provided by the smart vehicle parking system.
• Here IR sensors are used detect slot to park the vehicle. RFID tag is used for vehicle identification. .

Vehicle Parking System Advantages

• It reduces the waiting time to park the vehicles.
• It maximize the venue availability to the vehicle users.
• Less human effort is required.

Future Work

• This system work can be further extended to advance booking ofparkingsplaces over a period of time.
• The android mobile application can be further extended to other operating systems such as iOS, Windows ,etc.

Components / Software /Hardware’s Required

• Web Server
• MySQL Database
• Wifi Modem
