AUTOMATION OF CAR PARKING SYSTEM
Postgraduate
ABSTRACT
As
the number of vehicles are increased day by day in rapid manner. Inadequate
parking spaces, stolen of cars become enormous. To overcome this problem A
Niger polytechnic based parking system has been proposed. In this paper,
parking system is implemented using computer based application modelling. The
system has two main modules i.e. Identification
module and parking module. Identification module identifies the owner and the
car. Parking module keeps and checks the car parking detail and slot status.
These modules are modelled as a computer based application and implemented on
Niger Polytechnic. A prototype of parking system is designed with various
interfaces like card interfacing.
INTRODUCTION For
over thirty years, traffic information has been provided to help motorists make
en-route decisions. The development of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
and Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) have begun to improve
transportation through the use of technology. Along the same lines, system like
Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS), acquire, analyse, communicate, and
present information to assist surface transportation. Travelers are moving from
a starting location to their desired destination. Data from IVHS can now be
utilized as information for en-route assistance as well as collection of
traffic data. Information Technology is beginning to recognize the importance
of post-trip information dissemination by providing information on the location
and availability of parking. Real-time information can be accurately provided
to motorists through Intelligent Parking Systems (IPS) to reduce congestion in
or near parking areas, insufficient utilization of the available parking space
stock, road congestion caused by space-searching traffic, access problems and
safety hazards caused by illegal parking and environmental strains. Recently,
people find it easy when using the parking systems because the system is fully
automatic. The complexity calls for better management of the parking system
which involves technical improvement in the system used. Additionally, users of
the parking system commented that bigger parking space means they have to spend
more time to find parking area. Parking systems can also take advantage of
innovative technologies in order to improve the ease and convenience of paying
for parking. Now a day, Smart cards minimize transaction time by allowing a
user to simply wave their card in front of a reader. Mobile devices can also be
used in payment transactions. Public utilities need a parking system that can
function efficiently and be integrated with the other urban city utilities. For
allotment of parking slots there is no proper way thus parking management
system fails in coordination and centralizing the information for an effective system.
To avoid these problems, a design of an intelligent parking system is proposed.
AIMS
AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY In this project work, the
aim is to design an intelligent automated parking system to overcome the manual
existing system. Objective are as follows; ·
To design and implement an intelligent car
parking system for both staff and an non staff in Niger Polytechnic. ·
To alert the staff when the parking garage
is filled and when vehicles are not allowed into the garage until spaces are
available. ·
To provides security for car parking ·
To provide source of income for Niger state polytechnic
