 ME - sa se defineasca conceptul de aspect fizic al sistemului, si functionalitati mecanice daca e
cazul.
 EE - sa se prezinte o schita de interconexiune a componentelor electronice utilizate. Nu este
necesar de a intra in detalii de schema electrica principiala. Sa se dea descrieri si explicatii
pentru fiecare diagrama.

1. ME system architecture
The proposed Smart Parking system consists of an on-site deployment of an IoT module that is
used to monitor and signalize the state of availability of each single parking space. A mobile
application is also provided that allows an end user to check the availability of parking space and book
a parking slot accordingly.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
This section describes the high level architecture for the smart parking system along with a
mathematical model. The parking system that we propose comprises of various actors that work in sync
with one another. The table 1. below shows the mathematical model that defines our smart parking
system.

//Driver provides input to the input function.

//Input function notifies the computation function.

//Input function notifies the identity function.

//Computation function notifies the output function and the resultant is stored in form of the
occupancy rate.

//Occupancy rate can either be 0 or 1. Where 0 specifies occupied and 1 means vacant.
To demonstrate the concept, we use IR sensors for sensing parking slot occupancy along with

DC motors to simulate as gate opener motors. Also, it uses IR technology to sense if a vehicle has
arrived on gate for automated gate opening. The system reads the number of parking slots available and
updates data with the cloud server to allow for checking parking slot availability online. This allows
users to check for available parking spaces online from anywhere and avail hassle free parking.
LPR technology is an application of computer video image recognition technology in the
license plate identification area. Its operation starts when the vehicle is located at the entrance of the
parking lot, the LPR Camera will scan on the license plate character, and its recognition technology
will identify the license plate number, color and other information. If the number on the license plate is
valid, the car park barrier will lift for access, otherwise, no access will be allowed.
The primary actors that constitute the parking system are represented below in fig.1.1.

Fig. 1.1 System Architecture.

Talking of the above mentioned figure, it depicts a parking area where our parking system is
implementation along with the way in which communication happens between various actors.
Figure 1.2 below shows a view of the complete system.

For a better understanding, see the following image represented by fig. 1.3, where is explained
step by step how the system works.

Below is represented how these components (the Ultrasonic sensor, ESP8266, and Arduino
UNO) are connected together to be able to provide the cloud with the information about the parking
place where it is installed.

The embedded system that will read the plate number(camera), and act to the barrier(motor).
Also, it has two sensors: car sensor which will not let the barrier to close if the car is there, and the
barrier senor which will tell if the barrier is opened or closed.
