Management System
Introduction
The Vehicle Parking Management System is an automated
system for managing parking lots. The system aims to provide a
convenient, efficient, and cost-effective solution for customers
to park their vehicles, while also enabling parking lot
administrators to manage parking lots effectively. The system
automates various parking-related tasks, including issuing
tickets, managing parking spots, and processing payments.
System Overview
The Vehicle Parking Management System consists of three main
components: the parking lot, the payment system, and the
system admin panel.
Parking Lot
The Parking Lot component is responsible for managing the
parking spaces, issuing tickets, and updating the parking status.
The system uses a sensor-based approach to detect available
parking spaces and updates the parking status accordingly.
When a customer enters the parking lot, they can request a
parking ticket, which is recorded in the system. The parking lot
updates the parking status when a customer parks their vehicle
or leaves the parking lot.
Payment System
 The Payment System component is responsible for processing
payments for parking. When a customer requests a parking
ticket, the system calculates the parking fee based on the parking
duration and sends the payment information to the Payment
System. The Payment System accepts payment from the
customer and confirms payment with the parking lot.
System Admin Panel
The System Admin Panel is a web-based interface for managing
the parking lot. The system administrator can view and manage
parking lot information, including parking lot status, ticket
records, and payment records. The admin panel also allows
administrators to manage system settings, such as parking fees
and parking lot hours.
System Requirements
Functional Requirements
 The system should be able to issue parking tickets to customers.
 The system should be able to detect available parking spaces and
update the parking status.
 The system should be able to calculate parking fees based on the
parking duration.
 The system should be able to accept payments from customers.
 The system should be able to confirm payments with the parking
lot.
 The system should be able to generate reports on parking lot
status, ticket records, and payment records.
 The system should allow system administrators to manage
parking lot settings, such as parking fees and parking lot hours.
Non-Functional Requirements
 The system should be easy to use for customers and parking lot
administrators.
 The system should be reliable and accurate in detecting parking
spaces and processing payments.
 The system should be secure and protect customer and parking
lot information.
 The system should be scalable and able to handle large volumes
of customers.
System Architecture
The Vehicle Parking Management System is a client-server
system that consists of the following components:

 Web-based customer interface: This interface allows customers

to request parking tickets and make payments.
 Parking lot sensor network: This network uses sensors to detect
available parking spaces and updates the parking status in real-
time.
 Payment gateway: This gateway handles payment processing
and confirmation with the parking lot.
 System Admin Panel: This web-based interface allows parking
lot administrators to manage parking lot settings and view
parking lot status, ticket records, and payment records.
System Implementation
 The system will be implemented using a combination of
technologies, including:

 Programming languages: Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript

 Web development frameworks: Flask, Bootstrap
 Database management systems: MySQL, SQLAlchemy
System Testing
The system will undergo various types of testing, including unit
testing, integration testing, and system testing. The testing will
be conducted using automated testing tools, as well as manual
testing by the project team and beta testers.
Conclusion
The Vehicle Parking Management System is a modern solution
for managing parking lots. The system aims to improve the
parking experience for customers and parking lot administrators
by automating various parking-related tasks. The system
