PARKING SLOT MONITORING SYSTEM USING IOT

Abstract: Nowadays congestion of traffic level increases with the increasing

development of population rapidly. With respect to the amount of population, the utilization
of personal vehicles also increased. Due to more use of cars the traffic congestion occurred
on the road. Most of the people chooses personal vehicles than public transportation. It is
very difficult and time consuming to find parking space in most metropolitan areas,
commercial areas, especially during the rush hours. It is often costly in almost every big city
in all over the world to find proper and secure parking space. The proposed project is a smart
parking system that delivers information to people finding a parking space online. It
overcomes unnecessary time consuming for finding the problem of parking space in parking
areas. Hence, the mobile application is provided by this project based system where users can
view various parking areas and choose the space from available slots.

Introduction place around the cities is the routine work.
Internet of Things (IOT) is used to In the smart parking system the parking
communicate with the devices. By using space information is available at the real
this devices could be controlled or time. It consists of real time data
monitored through the internet, IOT acts as collection, low cost sensors and mobile
a platform to store data from the remote phone enabled systems. The proposed
locations. IOT consists of web enabled smart parking system is implemented
devices that collects the data from the using mobile application and the system
surrounding environments using helps the user to know the parking space
processors, sensors and other availability. The user can able to interact
communication devices. The device could with the system by installing car parking
be monitored and tracked using computers application on their mobile phones. In this
connected through internet. There are paper Infrared sensor is used in every
different types of car parking system parking slot. The basic principle of
available to reduce the time and the traffic Infrared sensor is the waves emitted by the
congestion. The types used in day to day transducer is reflected back from the object
life are by using cameras, parking space is and received by the transducer. Therefore
detected and the camera is fixed at the by using this sensor the user can able to
parking area pillars then another method is understand whether the parking slot is
by using laser beams it detects the corner occupied or not. The Infrared sensor is
and target parking position. Then another connected with the arduino board
method is by using Light Detection and
Ranging sensors. Another method is based Review of Literature
on the 3D reconstruction. With the latest Some of the recent studies shows about the
proliferation of the vehicle availability parking management and the slot
finding the parking place availability is management. And also gives the
more difficult. Car parking is a main information about reservation based
problem because of increasing in the parking management. Chi-Hung Chuang,
vehicle number. Searching of a parking Luo-Wei Tsai [1], developed a monitoring
system for parking lot management system
and the result of access management is
reduced human resource, through the
recognition car license. The constraint of
this project is the recognition process takes
more time to compare. Mingkai Chen [2]
developed a parking guidance and
information system based on wireless
sensor system and the information is
transmitted between the nodes and
processing the data, and the information
passes to the display drivers. In this the
constraint is, if the main node of the sensor
system fails means the total block is failed.
Huang Cai-mei. [3] Presented an idea for
reserving the parking slots and reversed
cars look for the intelligent terminals to
achieve the parked position of vehicles and
get the guide route, so that user can
quickly find the parking area.
BhosaleSwapnali [4] developed an idea for
generating the multiple images using a
fixed camera capture under different
variations. Multiple images detection &
recognition is important in the analysis of
video data and higher level security
system. Vanessa W.S. Tang [5] presented
an idea on WSN-based intelligent car
parking system and the sensors are
deployed into a car park field, with each
parking lot equipped with one sensor node,
which detects and monitors the occupation
of the parking lot. The constraint of the
project is that they deploy only sensor
node if it fails means total lot information
is lose. Giuliano Benelli [6], develops an
idea that the users use their own mobile
phone for allows an electronic ticket to
enter and exit the parking and as an
electronic wallet to pay automatically for
it.
PROPOSED WORK
Recently, with the explosive
increase of automobiles in cities, parking
problems are serious and even worsen in
many cities. The aim of the project is to
design and provide:-
 A simple application for parking
vehicles.
 Monitoting parking slot from
home.
 Make easy to automate parking
owners and customers.
We have designed a simple
application. Where user can register their
self and search for vehicle parking. User
can also change their profile information’s
like name contact info. User can also add
their identity card as driving licence. User
can also change their login password. On
the other hand any vehicle parking owner
can create their profile and add their
parking facilities.
