Intelligent Mode of Parking System

We chose the Intelligent Mode of Parking Management because we feel that parking is a growing problem of urbanization. There is an urgent need to address this menace. At present, most car parking systems do not have any intelligent monitoring system or are monitored by human beings. This Car Parking system indicates the total number of empty and filled parking slots at the entry gate as well as at each crossing inside the parking area. A magnetic sensor is used to sense the entry of a car into the parking system. The boom barrier at the entrance opens only if a parking slotis available. Empty slots are indicated by IR sensors and LEDs. An ultrasonic sensor assists in parking of the vehicle. The entry time, exit time and, photo of each car is recorded to address security concerns. The status of the parking system can also be accessed through a website by the user in the course of the journey.

The intelligent mode of parking system can be easily adopted by housing societies, malls, theatres etc. any paid or unpaid parking facility with ease and less cost. The smart car parking system uses the Raspberry Pi Board. This paper describes the details of the technology and software used in the development of the product.
